CVE-2025-6965

A memory corruption flaw was found in SQLite. Under specific conditions a query can be generated where the number of aggregate terms could exceed the number of columns available. This issue could lead to memory corruption and subsequent unintended behavior.

This vulnerability in SQLite is categorized as Important rather than Critical because, although it involves memory corruption, the conditions required to trigger it are relatively constrained. The flaw arises when a query causes the number of aggregate terms to exceed internal limits, leading to potential buffer overflows or memory mismanagement. However, exploitation requires the ability to craft complex SQL queries and interact with the SQLite engine in a specific manner—typically through direct SQL input. There is no known evidence of arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, or remote exploitability as a direct result of this flaw. Additionally, most SQLite deployments are embedded in applications where input is tightly controlled or sanitized.
