Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13434)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the sqlite3_str_vappendf() function in printf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and crash the application.



2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15358)
