Memory disclosure and crashes via SQLite bounds error
Published Jun 9, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
An out-of-bounds read in SQLite in Apple iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, iTunes, and iCloud allows local users to crash apps or read memory. SQLite reads beyond an allocated boundary because the affected code does not enforce the required bound; Apple has not identified the function or input. Exploitation requires a malicious application to execute locally, and the reported consequences are limited to an application crash or disclosure of process memory.
