CWE-456  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 sqlite to version 0:3.7.17-6.el7_1.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2015:1635.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sqlite package and not the sqlite package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly implement the dequoting of collation-sequence names, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted COLLATE clause, as demonstrated by COLLATE"""""""" at the end of a SELECT statement.
