CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 sqlite3 to version 3.8.9-1 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:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sqlite3VdbeExec function in vdbe.c in SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly implement comparison operators, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CHECK clause, as demonstrated by CHECK(0&O>O) in a CREATE TABLE statement.
