An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html extension. It occurs when the size of an array of tombstone pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer. A pointer to partially controlled data can then be written out of bounds.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the c5889223-b4e1-11f0-ae9b-b42e991fc52e advisory.

    https://github.com/google/security-research/security/advisories/GHSA-v2c8-vqqp-hv3g reports:
    An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html               extension. It occurs when the size of an array of tombstone               pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer.
              A pointer to partially controlled data can then be written               out of bounds.

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

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

An update of the sqlite package has been released.

The version of SQLite installed on the remote host is prior to 3.50.3. It is, therefore, affected by a integer overflow vulnerability as referenced in GHSA-v2c8-vqqp-hv3g advisory.

  - An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html  extension. It occurs when the size     of an array of tombstone pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer. A pointer to     partially controlled data can then be written out of bounds. (CVE-2025-7709)

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

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7751-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the FTS5 SQLite extension incorrectly calculated certain array lengths. An attacker     could use this issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code.

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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html extension. It occurs when the size of     an array of tombstone pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer. A pointer to partially     controlled data can then be written out of bounds. (CVE-2025-7709)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
