high Nessus Plugin ID 186238

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-03 (SQLite: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

- An issue found in SQLite SQLite3 v.3.35.4 that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the appendvfs.c function. (CVE-2021-31239)

- SQLite through 3.40.0, when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script, does not properly implement the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, and instead allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE. (CVE-2022-46908)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

All SQLite users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=dev-db/sqlite-3.42.0
