3 November 2022
SQLite could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it received specially crafted input.
Releases
Packages

Details
It was discovered that SQLite did not properly handle large string
inputs in certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04
-
libsqlite3-0
-
3.11.0-1ubuntu1.5+esm2
Available with Ubuntu Pro
-
sqlite3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
