sqlite: stack buffer overflow in src/printf.c
Published Apr 24, 2015

HIGHCVSS 2.0
EPSS 5.68%
Description
The sqlite3VXPrintf function in printf.c in SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly handle precision and width values during floating-point conversions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via large integers in a crafted printf function call in a SELECT statement.
