Debian 9913 Published by

A sqlite3 security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address a crash via a segmentation fault.



DLA 2203-1: sqlite3 security update



Package : sqlite3
Version : 3.8.7.1-1+deb8u5
CVE ID : CVE-2020-11655

It was discovered that there was a denial of service attack in the
SQLite database, often embedded into other programs and servers.

In the event of a semantic error in an aggregate query, SQLite did
not return early from the "resetAccumulator()" function which would
lead to a crash via a segmentation fault.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this issue has been fixed in sqlite3 version
3.8.7.1-1+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your sqlite3 packages.
