CVE-2007-1888: Buffer Overflow

Published Apr 6, 2007

Updated

Buffer overflow in the sqlitedecodebinary function in src/encode.c in SQLite 2, as used by PHP 4.x through 5.x and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an empty value of the in parameter. NOTE: some PHP installations use a bundled version of sqlite without this vulnerability. The SQLite developer has argued that this issue could be due to a misuse of the sqlitedecodebinary() API.
