CVE-2015-3416  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-121  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 sqlite-doc to version 0:3.6.20-1.el6_7.2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2015:1634.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sqlite-doc package and not the sqlite-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sqlite3VXPrintf function in printf.c in SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly handle precision and width values during floating-point conversions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via large integers in a crafted printf function call in a SELECT statement.
