Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2016.543
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-543-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sqlite3' package(s) announced via the DLA-543-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sqlite3' package(s) announced via the DLA-543-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that sqlite3, a C library that implements a SQL database engine, would reject a temporary directory (e.g., as specified by the TMPDIR environment variable) to which the executing user did not have read permissions. This could result in information leakage as less secure global temporary directories (e.g., /var/tmp or /tmp) would be used instead.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.13-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your sqlite3 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'sqlite3' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.6
