Security Bulletin


Summary

Tensorflow uses SQLite as its embedded SQL database engine. SQLite through 3.32.0 has an integer overflow in sqlite3_str_vappendf in printf.c so it has been updated to 3.32.3 in WML CE.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2020-13435
DESCRIPTION:   SQLite is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by flaw in the sqlite3ExprCodeTarget function in expr.c. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a segmentation fault.
