AI-suggested

A patch is available in SQLite version 3.49.1 that fixes this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 3.49.1 or later to remediate this issue.

Description

SQLite versions 3.44.0 through 3.49.0 before 3.49.1 contain a vulnerability in the concat_ws() SQL function where memory can be written beyond the end of a malloc-allocated buffer. This occurs due to an integer overflow when the separator argument is attacker-controlled and very large, causing insufficient memory allocation.
