CVE-2021-36690: Apple iPhone OS

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 3.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A segmentation fault can occur in the sqlite3.exe command-line component of SQLite 3.36.0 via the idxGetTableInfo function when there is a crafted SQL query. NOTE: the vendor disputes the relevance of this report because a sqlite3.exe user already has full privileges (e.g., is intentionally allowed to execute commands). This report does NOT imply any problem in the SQLite library.

Affected products

• Apple iPhone OS: before 16.0 (fixed in 16.0)
• Apple macOS: before 13.0 (fixed in 13.0)
• Apple tvOS: before 16.0 (fixed in 16.0)
• Apple watchOS: before 9.0 (fixed in 9.0)
• Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Kit: version 8.8 only
• Sqlite Sqlite: version 3.36.0 only
