FreeBSD : sqlite -- integer overflow (b945ce3f-6f9b-11f0-bd96-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 243313

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

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 b945ce3f-6f9b-11f0-bd96-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLites `concat_ws()` function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size ~4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution.

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
