Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SQLite versions prior to 3.13.0

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the os unix.c component of the SQLite database management system. This could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is due to the improper implementation of the temporary directory search algorithm, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information or cause the application to crash by leveraging the use of the current working directory for temporary files.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.13.0, update to version 3.13.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the temporary directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the current working directory for temporary files until the issue is resolved.
