How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 sqlite3 to version 3.8.2-1ubuntu2.2+esm1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 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.
