  - A heap use-after-free issue has been identified in SQLite in the jsonParseAddNodeArray() function in
    sqlite3.c. This flaw allows a local attacker to leverage a victim to pass specially crafted malicious
    input to the application, potentially causing a crash and leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0232)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
