CVE-2025-70873 Details
Description
An information disclosure issue in the zipfileInflate function in the zipfile extension in SQLite v3.51.1 and earlier allows attackers to obtain heap memory via supplying a crafted ZIP file.
A vulnerability in the zipfile extension of SQLite versions through 3.51.1 allows for information disclosure by leaking uninitialized heap memory. This occurs in the zipfileInflate function, which decompresses ZIP file data. The vulnerability arises because the function allocates memory based on an untrusted ZIP Central Directory value, leading to the potential leakage of sensitive data such as memory addresses. The issue can be exploited by supplying a crafted ZIP file that takes advantage of this flaw.
Users can upgrade to SQLite version 3.52.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
