Amazon Linux 2023 : lemon, sqlite, sqlite-analyzer (ALAS2023-2025-971)

high Nessus Plugin ID 235883

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-971 advisory.

 SQLite through 3.40.0, when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script, does not properly implement the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, and instead allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE. (CVE-2022-46908)

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

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update sqlite --releasever 2023.7.20250512' to update your system.
