There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in SQLite affected version source snapshots/builds containing Fossil check-
    in 8bdc0d485e3ad0c7a1e818da66f106951d496b05cbe61d12c2c448f2f24b6d5d (Git mirror

    cause a denial of service via the ext/misc/sqlar.c, sqlarUncompressFunc(), sqlar_uncompress(),
    sqlite3_value_int64(), sqlite3_malloc(int), uncompress() components (CVE-2026-39113)

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8775-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that SQLite was vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the sqlar extension. If a user were     tricked into opening a specially crafted SQLar archive, an attacker could cause a denial of service.

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.
