AZL-111793: CVE-2026-119591 affecting package sqlite 3.44.0-4

Q: Who is realistically exposed to this denial-of-service issue?

Applications using the affected SQLite package are exposed when an attacker can supply SQL statements or provide a database file containing a crafted view. The impact is a crash of the host process through C-stack exhaustion.

Q: What input is required to trigger the crash?

The attacker needs to cause processing of count(*) over a large multi-row VALUES clause, either through supplied SQL or a crafted database view. This creates deeply nested TK_PLUS expressions whose recursive cleanup exhausts the stack.

Q: What version resolves the issue?

SQLite versions before 3.54.0 are affected. Updating to SQLite 3.54.0 or later resolves the vulnerable behavior.

Published Oct 30, 2026

Updated

SQLite before 3.54.0 contains a stack exhaustion vulnerability in countOfViewOptimization() that allows attackers to crash the host process via count() over a large multi-row VALUES clause. Attackers supplying SQL or a database file with a crafted view can trigger deeply nested TKPLUS expressions whose recursive freeing in sqlite3ExprDeleteNN() exhausts the C stack, causing denial of service.
