Description

SQLite through 3.31.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a malformed window-function query because the AggInfo object's initialization is mishandled.

Statement

It seems like this issue existed since sqlite-3.25.0, when window function (https://www.sqlite.org/windowfunctions.html) was added, but it lead to segmentation fault after https://www3.sqlite.org/cgi/src/info/712e47714863a8ed was committed, which could result in denial of service. This commit is a part of sqlite-3.30 release.

Therefore previous versions are not vulnerable to this flaw.
