CVE-2023-7104
Description
A vulnerability has been identified in SQLite3. This issue affects the sessionReadRecord function of the ext/session/sqlite3session.c function in the make alltest Handler component. Manipulation may cause a heap-based buffer overflow to occur.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as having a moderate impact because it affects a non-critical component, lacks details on an easy exploitation method, and doesn't indicate severe impacts (such as remote code execution). So the risk is reduced by exploitation complexity and the absence of a clear and severe threat.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
The assigned CVSS vector C:L/I:L/A:L signifies a Low impact on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. This determination is based on the following technical considerations: the vulnerability affects a non-critical component, reducing the likelihood of severe compromise; there is a lack of specific details regarding an easily exploitable method, indicating a higher level of complexity required for successful exploitation; and the description does not specify severe impacts or the potential for remote code execution. Consequently, the risk associated with this vulnerability is deemed moderate, owing to the complexity necessary for exploitation and the absence of clear evidence indicating immediate severe threats.
