NIST CVE Summary
There exists a vulnerability in SQLite versions before 3.50.2 where the number of aggregate terms could exceed the number of columns available. This could lead to a memory corruption issue. We recommend upgrading to version 3.50.2 or above.
CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
A memory corruption vulnerability has been identified in SQLite versions earlier than 3.50.2. The issue occurs when the number of aggregate terms in a SQL query exceeds the number of available columns, potentially leading to crashes, unpredictable behavior, data corruption, or in some cases, arbitrary code execution.
This vulnerability has been reported in certain upstream images used by the VM Orchestrator component. It does not affect clusters that do not use this functionality.
- In the affected images, multiple security controls are already in place:
- The images are not accessible externally, limiting exposure.
- An attacker would require privileged access within the cluster to attempt exploitation.
The containers do not permit arbitrary code execution, further mitigating risk.
As a result, the practical impact of this vulnerability is low, with the containerized deployment model significantly reducing the overall attack surface.
