In SQLite 3.49.0 before 3.49.1, certain argument values to sqlite3_db_config (in the C-language API) can cause a denial of service (application crash). An sz*nBig multiplication is not cast to a 64-bit integer, and consequently some memory allocations may be incorrect.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in SQLite

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7528-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled the concat_ws() function. An attacker could use this     issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-29087, CVE-2025-3277)

    It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain argument values to sqlite3_db_config(). An     attacker could use this issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-29088)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-966 advisory.
