RHSA-2026:58939: Important: sqlite security update
SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use. Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexibility of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of supporting a separate database server.Security Fix(es): sqlite: SQLite: Arbitrary code execution via crafted FTS5 full-text search data (CVE-2026-11822) sqlite: SQLite: Arbitrary code execution and crash via heap-based buffer overflow in FTS5 (CVE-2026-11824) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which packages are included in the advisory scope?
The listed packages are sqlite, sqlite-libs, sqlite-devel, sqlite-analyzer-debuginfo, sqlite-debuginfo, sqlite-debugsource, sqlite-libs-debuginfo, and lemon-debuginfo.
What capability is relevant to exploitation?
Both fixes concern SQLite FTS5 full-text search functionality. One issue is triggered by crafted FTS5 full-text search data, while the other is a heap-based buffer overflow in FTS5 that can cause arbitrary code execution or a crash.
