AI-suggested

A fix is available in SQLite version 3.54.0. Users should upgrade to version 3.54.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Description

SQLite versions prior to 3.54.0 contain a stack exhaustion vulnerability in the countOfViewOptimization() function. This flaw can be triggered by attackers using a crafted SQL query or database file with a deeply nested TK_PLUS expression, causing recursive freeing operations that exhaust the C stack and crash the host process, resulting in denial of service.
