RHEL 7 : sqlite (Unpatched Vulnerability)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 195645

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 7 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - sqlite: Heap-buffer overflow in the getNodeSize function (CVE-2017-10989)

 - sqlite: Out of bounds access during table rename (CVE-2020-35527)

 - os_unix.c in SQLite before 3.13.0 improperly implements the temporary directory search algorithm, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (application crash), or have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of the current working directory for temporary files.
 (CVE-2016-6153)

 - The dump_callback function in SQLite 3.20.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (EXC_BAD_ACCESS and application crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-13685)

 - SQLite 3.20.1 has a NULL pointer dereference in tableColumnList in shell.c because it fails to consider certain cases where `sqlite3_step(pStmt)==SQLITE_ROW` is false and a data structure is never initialized.
 (CVE-2017-15286)

 - In SQLite through 3.22.0, databases whose schema is corrupted using a CREATE TABLE AS statement could cause a NULL pointer dereference, related to build.c and prepare.c. (CVE-2018-8740)

 - Uninitialized data in SQLite in Google Chrome prior to 79.0.3945.79 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2019-13751)

 - Out of bounds read in SQLite in Google Chrome prior to 79.0.3945.79 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2019-13752, CVE-2019-13753)

 - Buffer Overflow vulnerability found in SQLite3 v.3.27.1 and before allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted script. (CVE-2020-24736)

 - In SQlite 3.31.1, a potential null pointer derreference was found in the INTERSEC query processing.
 (CVE-2020-35525)

 - A Memory Leak vulnerability exists in SQLite Project SQLite3 3.35.1 and 3.37.0 via maliciously crafted SQL Queries (made via editing the Database File), it is possible to query a record, and leak subsequent bytes of memory that extend beyond the record, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.
 NOTE: The developer disputes this as a vulnerability stating that If you give SQLite a corrupted database file and submit a query against the database, it might read parts of the database that you did not intend or expect. (CVE-2021-45346)

 - SQLite 1.0.12 through 3.39.x before 3.39.2 sometimes allows an array-bounds overflow if billions of bytes are used in a string argument to a C API. (CVE-2022-35737)

 - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: none. (CVE-2023-36191)

 - A heap use-after-free issue has been identified in SQLite in the jsonParseAddNodeArray() function in sqlite3.c. This flaw allows a local attacker to leverage a victim to pass specially crafted malicious input to the application, potentially causing a crash and leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0232)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
