QID 239830: Red Hat Update for sqlite (RHSA-2021:4396)

sqlite is a c library that implements an sql database engine.
A large subset of sql92 is supported.
A complete database is stored in a single disk file.
The api is designed for convenience and ease of use.
Applications that link against sqlite can enjoy the power and flexibility of an sql database without the administrative hassles of supporting a separate database server.

Security Fix(es):
  • sqlite: out-of-bounds access due to the use of 32-bit memory allocator interfaces (cve-2019-5827)
  • sqlite: dropping of shadow tables not restricted in defensive mode (cve-2019-13750)
  • sqlite: fts3: improve detection of corrupted records (cve-2019-13751)
  • sqlite: mishandling of certain select statements with non-existent view can lead to dos (cve-2019-19603)
  • sqlite: null pointer dereference in sqlite3exprcodetarget() (cve-2020-13435)
