An update for sqlite is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use. Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexibility of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of supporting a separate database server.

Security Fix(es):

• sqlite: Use-after-free in window function leading to remote code execution (CVE-2019-5018)
• sqlite: Division by zero in whereLoopAddBtreeIndex in sqlite3.c (CVE-2019-16168)
• sqlite: selectExpander in select.c proceeds with WITH stack unwinding even after a parsing error (CVE-2019-20218)
• sqlite: Out-of-bounds read in SELECT with ON/USING clause (CVE-2020-6405)
• sqlite: NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault because of generated column optimizations (CVE-2020-9327)
• sqlite: Use-after-free in fts3EvalNextRow in ext/fts3/fts3.c (CVE-2020-13630)
• sqlite: Virtual table can be renamed into the name of one of its shadow tables (CVE-2020-13631)
• sqlite: NULL pointer dereference in ext/fts3/fts3_snippet.c via a crafted matchinfo() query (CVE-2020-13632)
