In SQLite 3.44.0 through 3.49.0 before 3.49.1, the concat_ws() SQL function can cause memory to be written beyond the end of a malloc-allocated buffer. If the separator argument is attacker-controlled and has a large string (e.g., 2MB or more), an integer overflow occurs in calculating the size of the result buffer, and thus malloc may not allocate enough memory.

SQLite: integer overflow in SQLite

A flaw was found in SQLite’s concatws function, where an integer overflow can be triggered. The resulting truncated integer can allocate a buffer. When SQLite writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size, and a wild heap buffer overflow size of around 4GB can...

An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite’s concatws function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size 4GB can be...
