alter.c in SQLite through 3.30.1 allows attackers to trigger infinite recursion via certain types of self-referential views in conjunction with ALTER TABLE statements.

According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-23 advisory. Several of the third-party components were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus Network Monitor 6.2.2 updates the following components:

  - c-ares from version 1.10.0 to version 1.19.1.
  - curl from version 7.79.1 to version 8.1.2.
  - libbzip2 from version 1.0.6 to version 1.0.8.
  - libpcre from version 8.42 to version 8.44.
  - libxml2 from version 2.7.7 to version 2.11.1.
  - libxslt from version 1.1.26 to version 1.1.37.
  - libxmlsec from version 1.2.18 to version 1.2.37.
  - sqlite from version 3.27.2 to version 3.40.1.
  - jQuery Cookie from version 1.3.1 to version 1.4.1.
  - jQuery UI from version 1.13.0 to version 1.13.2.
  - OpenSSL from version 3.0.8 to version 3.0.9.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3215-1 advisory.

  - SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly implement the dequoting of collation-sequence names, which allows     context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and application     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted COLLATE clause, as demonstrated by     COLLATE at the end of a SELECT statement. (CVE-2015-3414)

  - The sqlite3VdbeExec function in vdbe.c in SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly implement comparison     operators, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free operation)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CHECK clause, as demonstrated by CHECK(0&O>O) in a     CREATE TABLE statement. (CVE-2015-3415)

  - 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 getNodeSize function in ext/rtree/rtree.c in SQLite through 3.19.3, as used in GDAL and other     products, mishandles undersized RTree blobs in a crafted database, leading to a heap-based buffer over-     read or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-10989)

  - An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is     affected. tvOS before 10.2.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.2.2 is affected. The issue involves the     SQLite component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service     (buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted SQL statement. (CVE-2017-2518)

  - SQLite before 3.25.3, when the FTS3 extension is enabled, encounters an integer overflow (and resultant     buffer overflow) for FTS3 queries that occur after crafted changes to FTS3 shadow tables, allowing remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging the ability to run arbitrary SQL statements (such as in     certain WebSQL use cases), aka Magellan. (CVE-2018-20346)

  - 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)

  - In SQLite through 3.29.0, whereLoopAddBtreeIndex in sqlite3.c can crash a browser or other application     because of missing validation of a sqlite_stat1 sz field, aka a severe division by zero in the query     planner. (CVE-2019-16168)

  - sqlite3Select in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 allows a crash if a sub-select uses both DISTINCT and window     functions, and also has certain ORDER BY usage. (CVE-2019-19244)

  - lookupName in resolve.c in SQLite 3.30.1 omits bits from the colUsed bitmask in the case of a generated     column, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
    (CVE-2019-19317)

  - SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain SELECT statements with a nonexistent VIEW, leading to an application     crash. (CVE-2019-19603)

  - alter.c in SQLite through 3.30.1 allows attackers to trigger infinite recursion via certain types of self-     referential views in conjunction with ALTER TABLE statements. (CVE-2019-19645)

  - pragma.c in SQLite through 3.30.1 mishandles NOT NULL in an integrity_check PRAGMA command in certain     cases of generated columns. (CVE-2019-19646)

  - exprListAppendList in window.c in SQLite 3.30.1 allows attackers to trigger an invalid pointer dereference     because constant integer values in ORDER BY clauses of window definitions are mishandled. (CVE-2019-19880)

  - flattenSubquery in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain uses of SELECT DISTINCT involving a LEFT     JOIN in which the right-hand side is a view. This can cause a NULL pointer dereference (or incorrect     results). (CVE-2019-19923)

  - SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain parser-tree rewriting, related to expr.c, vdbeaux.c, and window.c. This     is caused by incorrect sqlite3WindowRewrite() error handling. (CVE-2019-19924)

  - zipfileUpdate in ext/misc/zipfile.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles a NULL pathname during an update of a ZIP     archive. (CVE-2019-19925)

  - multiSelect in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain errors during parsing, as demonstrated by     errors from sqlite3WindowRewrite() calls. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2019-19880. (CVE-2019-19926)

  - ext/misc/zipfile.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain uses of INSERT INTO in situations involving     embedded '\0' characters in filenames, leading to a memory-management error that can be detected by (for     example) valgrind. (CVE-2019-19959)

  - selectExpander in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 proceeds with WITH stack unwinding even after a parsing error.
    (CVE-2019-20218)

  - SQLite3 from 3.6.0 to and including 3.27.2 is vulnerable to heap out-of-bound read in the rtreenode()     function when handling invalid rtree tables. (CVE-2019-8457)

  - SQLite through 3.32.0 has an integer overflow in sqlite3_str_vappendf in printf.c. (CVE-2020-13434)

  - SQLite through 3.32.0 has a segmentation fault in sqlite3ExprCodeTarget in expr.c. (CVE-2020-13435)

  - ext/fts3/fts3.c in SQLite before 3.32.0 has a use-after-free in fts3EvalNextRow, related to the snippet     feature. (CVE-2020-13630)

  - SQLite before 3.32.0 allows a virtual table to be renamed to the name of one of its shadow tables, related     to alter.c and build.c. (CVE-2020-13631)

  - ext/fts3/fts3_snippet.c in SQLite before 3.32.0 has a NULL pointer dereference via a crafted matchinfo()     query. (CVE-2020-13632)

  - In SQLite before 3.32.3, select.c mishandles query-flattener optimization, leading to a multiSelectOrderBy     heap overflow because of misuse of transitive properties for constant propagation. (CVE-2020-15358)

  - In SQLite 3.31.1, isAuxiliaryVtabOperator allows attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and     segmentation fault because of generated column optimizations. (CVE-2020-9327)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable SecurityCenter application installed on the remote host is less than 5.19.0 and is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components: 
  - Apache FOP
  - Underscore
  - Handlebars
  - PHP
  - sqlite

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
