Technical details
The vulnerability is a use-after-free flaw in the R-Tree extension's nodeWrite() function, triggered when an attacker manipulates the %_node shadow table—either by declaring it WITHOUT ROWID or by attaching a RAISE(IGNORE) trigger. This causes nodes to be hashed as 0, leading to memory corruption after node splits. The attack requires the ability to supply a specially crafted SQLite database file; no authentication or network access is required.
Affected products
- SQLite SQLite before 3.54.0
