Subject: Two invalid read errors / heap overflows in SQLite (TFPA 006/2015)

https://blog.fuzzing-project.org/10-Two-invalid-read-errors-heap-overflows-in-SQLite-TFPA-0062015.html

While fuzzing SQLite I discovered two read heap overflow errors. One is
in the database file parser, one in the sql command parser. Both issues
are present in SQLite 3.8.9 and are fixed in SQLite 3.8.10.1. These
bugs can be seen with either valgrind or address sanitizer.

Passing the command ".\" will cause a one byte heap overflow in the
function resolve_backslashes().

Upstream commit / patch

Parsing a malformed database file will cause a heap overflow of several
bytes in the function sqlite3VdbeExec(). This only matters if your
attack scenario involves parsing untrusted database files.

Finding bugs in SQLite, the easy way - Michal Zalewski fuzzed SQLite
with a dictionary - most of these were already fixed in 3.8.9, the
version I was testing.

SQL Fuzz Using The American Fuzzy Lop Fuzzer -
SQLite developers themselve now use regular fuzz testing to find
further bugs.

https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_8_10_1.html
SQLite 3.8.10.1 release notes mention fixes for "many
obscure problems discovered while SQL fuzzing", so there are likely
more fixes than the two I mentioned above.
