SQLite 3.41 has a use-after-free vulnerability exists in the expression evaluation logic. The sqlite3ReleaseTempReg function improperly releases temporary register resources, and the subsequent exprComputeOperands function continues to access the already freed register memory. By supplying a malicious SQL statement, a remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause denial of service, leak sensitive information, or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
Weakness
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
