CVE-2016-6153  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 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:9 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.
