SQLite versions 3.49.0 before 3.49.1 contain a vulnerability in the C-language API function sqlite3_db_config where certain argument values can cause a denial of service via application crash. This is due to an incorrect memory allocation caused by a multiplication not cast to a 64-bit integer.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In SQLite 3.49.0 prior to 3.49.1, the sqlite3_db_config function in the C API improperly handles certain argument values leading to incorrect memory allocation. Specifically, an sz*nBig multiplication is not cast to a 64-bit integer, which can cause memory allocation errors resulting in a denial of service (application crash). This issue was fixed in version 3.49.1 as per the linked patch.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause an application using the affected SQLite versions to crash, resulting in denial of service. There is no indication of code execution or data corruption beyond the crash. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade SQLite to version 3.49.1 or later where this issue is fixed. The patch is available at the official SQLite GitHub repository. No other mitigations are indicated.
