DescriptionCVE.org

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in SQLite affected version source snapshots/builds containing Fossil check-in 8bdc0d485e3ad0c7a1e818da66f106951d496b05cbe61d12c2c448f2f24b6d5d (Git mirror 169f68ed88b34cb68f720191c64c058f2ccec508, 2026-03-11) and later snapshots/builds allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via the ext/misc/sqlar.c, sqlarUncompressFunc(), sqlar_uncompress(), sqlite3_value_int64(), sqlite3_malloc(int), uncompress() components

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service via heap buffer overflow in SQLite's optional SQLAR extension affects any application that compiles or loads ext/misc/sqlar.c and processes attacker-controlled archive entries. The root cause is an integer-width mismatch in sqlarUncompressFunc(): a 64-bit decompressed-size argument is silently truncated to 32 bits by sqlite3_value_int(), causing sqlite3_malloc() to allocate an undersized heap buffer before zlib's uncompress() writes the full payload into it (CWE-122). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target SQLite build must include the optional SQLAR extension (ext/misc/sqlar.c), which is omitted from most default distribution builds and must be explicitly compiled in or dynamically loaded; (2) the application must invoke the sqlar_uncompress() SQL function on a data source the attacker can influence - typically by supplying or substituting a crafted SQLite archive file; and (3) the decompressed-size argument passed to sqlar_uncompress() must encode a value exceeding 2,147,483,647 to trigger the 32-bit truncation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 3.1 scores this Medium (4.0) with a local attack vector (AV:L), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and only low availability impact (A:L) - no confidentiality or integrity exposure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to a SQLite source snapshot at or after Fossil check-in 8bdc0d485e3ad0c7a1e818da66f106951d496b05cbe61d12c2c448f2f24b6d5d (Git commit 169f68ed88b34cb68f720191c64c058f2ccec508, dated 2026-03-11), which replaces sqlite3_value_int() with sqlite3_value_int64() in sqlarUncompressFunc(). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
