Application crash via overflowing lookaside calculation
Published Oct 24, 2025 · Updated Oct 24, 2025
Integer overflow in SQLite 3.49.0 and earlier allows attackers controlling lookaside API arguments to crash the hosting application. In setupLookaside, the sz*nBig multiplication is evaluated without widening, so large size and count values wrap and corrupt the computed small-slot count. Reachability requires a caller to pass out-of-bounds SQLITE_DBCONFIG_LOOKASIDE arguments; this CVE record is rejected as a duplicate of CVE-2025-29088.
