How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.21 sqlite to version 3.48.0-r1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sqlite package and not the sqlite package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite’s concat_ws() function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size ~4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution.
