RHEL 7 : sqlite (Unpatched Vulnerability)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 199469

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 7 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - sqlite: heap out-of-bound read in function rtreenode() (CVE-2019-8457)

 - The fts3_tokenizer function in SQLite, as used in Apple iOS before 8.4 and OS X before 10.10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a SQL command that triggers an API call with a crafted pointer value in the second argument. (CVE-2015-7036)

 - os_unix.c in SQLite before 3.13.0 improperly implements the temporary directory search algorithm, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (application crash), or have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of the current working directory for temporary files.
 (CVE-2016-6153)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
