Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46908)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, which allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-7104)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the sessionReadRecord() function in ext/session/sqlite3session.c when processing a corrupt changeset. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.
