RHSA-2021:1581 - Security Advisory

Topic

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: integer overflow in sqlite3_str_vappendf function in printf.c (CVE-2020-13434)
• sqlite: heap-based buffer overflow in multiSelectOrderBy due to mishandling of query-flattener optimization in select.c (CVE-2020-15358)
