CVE-2016-6153 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 sqlite3 to version 3.13.0-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sqlite3 package and not the sqlite3 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
