Amazon Linux 2 : sqlite (ALAS-2026-4111)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 379875
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of sqlite installed on the remote host is prior to 3.7.17-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4111 advisory.SQLite before 3.54.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to read uninitialized page-cache memory by supplying a WAL file with an undersized page size. Attackers can craft a database and WAL file whose oversized record payload makes queries like substr() return stale bytes, disclosing other table rows and internal pointers. (CVE-2026-119375)
SQLite before 3.54.0 contains a stack exhaustion vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the SQLITE_LIMIT_EXPR_DEPTH limit by chaining COLLATE postfix operators. Attackers can supply roughly 175,000 chained COLLATE operators in SQL or an untrusted database view to trigger unbounded recursion in sqlite3WalkExprNN() and crash the process. (CVE-2026-119376)
SQLite before 3.54.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the R-Tree extension that allows attackers to make applications use freed heap memory by manipulating the %_node shadow table. Attackers can supply a database declaring %_node WITHOUT ROWID or with a RAISE(IGNORE) trigger so nodeWrite() hashes nodes as 0, crashing the process after node splits. (CVE-2026-119378)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Run 'yum update sqlite' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2-2026-4111' to update your system.See Also
