In SQLite 3.27.2, running fts5 prefix queries inside a transaction could trigger a heap-based buffer over-read in fts5HashEntrySort in sqlite3.c, which may lead to an information leak. This is related to ext/fts5/fts5_hash.c.

According to the versions of the sqlite packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In SQLite 3.27.2, interleaving reads and writes in a     single transaction with an fts5 virtual table will lead     to a NULL Pointer Dereference in fts5ChunkIterate in     sqlite3.c. This is related to ext/fts5/fts5_hash.c and     ext/fts5/fts5_index.c.(CVE-2019-9937)

  - In SQLite 3.27.2, running fts5 prefix queries inside a     transaction could trigger a heap-based buffer over-read     in fts5HashEntrySort in sqlite3.c, which may lead to an     information leak. This is related to     ext/fts5/fts5_hash.c.(CVE-2019-9936)

  - zipfileUpdate in ext/misc/zipfile.c in SQLite 3.30.1     mishandles a NULL pathname during an update of a ZIP     archive.(CVE-2019-19925)

  - SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain parser-tree rewriting,     related to expr.c, vdbeaux.c, and window.c. This is     caused by incorrect sqlite3WindowRewrite() error     handling.(CVE-2019-19924)

  - flattenSubquery in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles     certain uses of SELECT DISTINCT involving a LEFT JOIN     in which the right-hand side is a view. This can cause     a NULL pointer dereference (or incorrect     results).(CVE-2019-19923)

  - multiSelect in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles     certain errors during parsing, as demonstrated by     errors from sqlite3WindowRewrite() calls. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2019-19880.(CVE-2019-19926)

  - selectExpander in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 proceeds     with WITH stack unwinding even after a parsing     error.(CVE-2019-20218)

  - ext/misc/zipfile.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain     uses of INSERT INTO in situations involving embedded     '\0' characters in filenames, leading to a     memory-management error that can be detected by (for     example) valgrind.(CVE-2019-19959)

  - SQLite 3.25.2, when queries are run on a table with a     malformed PRIMARY KEY, allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) by leveraging     the ability to run arbitrary SQL statements (such as in     certain WebSQL use cases).(CVE-2018-20505)

  - In SQLite 3.31.1, isAuxiliaryVtabOperator allows     attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and     segmentation fault because of generated column     optimizations.(CVE-2020-9327)

According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-23 advisory. Several of the third-party components were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus Network Monitor 6.2.2 updates the following components:

  - c-ares from version 1.10.0 to version 1.19.1.
  - curl from version 7.79.1 to version 8.1.2.
  - libbzip2 from version 1.0.6 to version 1.0.8.
  - libpcre from version 8.42 to version 8.44.
  - libxml2 from version 2.7.7 to version 2.11.1.
  - libxslt from version 1.1.26 to version 1.1.37.
  - libxmlsec from version 1.2.18 to version 1.2.37.
  - sqlite from version 3.27.2 to version 3.40.1.
  - jQuery Cookie from version 1.3.1 to version 1.4.1.
  - jQuery UI from version 1.13.0 to version 1.13.2.
  - OpenSSL from version 3.0.8 to version 3.0.9.
