Created mingw-sqlite tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1841575] Created sqlite tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1841577] Created sqlite2 tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1841576] According to the documentation, FTS3 is an extension module that allows users to create special virtual tables with a built-in full-text index to efficiently perform full-text searches on a set of documents (https://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html). Under some circumstances it is possible for a SQL SELECT statement to cause a NULL pointer dereference while performing a full-text query on FTS3 virtual tables using the matchinfo function (https://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html#matchinfo). This may occur in function fts3ColumnlistCount() in fts3_snippet.c, when the pEnd pointer ends up being set to 0 in a while loop. For this attack to be successful, an attacker would need to have a level of access that allows him to write particular SQL expressions that use the matchinfo function to perform full-text queries on FTS3 tables. Function fts3ExprLHits() in fts3_snippet.c was responsible for calling fts3ColumnlistCount() with an invalid pointer. The former was introduced in SQLite upstream version 3.8.11 with the following commit: -> https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/commit/e60aedc564c6f7291143b33a90869529b1676b35 It was fixed in upstream version 3.32.0 (see Comment 0). Statement: This flaw did not affect the versions of SQLite as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as they did not include the vulnerable code, which was introduced in a later version of the package. This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Via RHSA-2020:4442 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:4442 This bug is now closed. Further updates for individual products will be reflected on the CVE page(s): https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2020-13632 This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Via RHSA-2021:1968 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:1968 |
