SQLite 1.0.12 through 3.39.x before 3.39.2 sometimes allows an array-bounds overflow if billions of bytes are used in a string argument to a C API.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: sqlite3

It was discovered that SQLite did not properly handle large string inputs in certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
