Description

Buffer overflow in the sqlite_decode_binary function in src/encode.c in SQLite 2, as used by PHP 4.x through 5.x and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an empty value of the in parameter. NOTE: some PHP installations use a bundled version of sqlite without this vulnerability. The SQLite developer has argued that this issue could be due to a misuse of the sqlite_decode_binary() API.

Affected products

PHP: 4.0, 4.0-beta_4_patch1, 4.0-beta1, 4.0-beta2, 4.0-beta3, 4.0-beta4 (+70)
