Technical details
The fts5MergeRowidLists() function in SQLite's FTS5 extension undersizes its output buffer when merging detail=none prefix doclists, causing a heap buffer overflow. An attacker must populate a detail=none FTS5 table with negative rowids and trigger the vulnerability via a prefix MATCH query, resulting in heap memory corruption and potential code execution or denial of service.
