FreeBSD : SQLite -- CWE-190 Integer Overflow or Wraparound (c5889223-b4e1-11f0-ae9b-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 272021

Language:

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 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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
