SUSE-SU-2022:3401-1

This update for sqlite3 fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2022-35737: Fixed an array-bounds overflow if billions of bytes are used in a string argument to a C API (bnc#1201783).

• CVE-2021-36690: Fixed an issue with the SQLite Expert extension when a column has no collating sequence (bsc#1189802).

• Package the Tcl bindings here again so that we only ship one copy of SQLite (bsc#1195773).

sqlite3 was update to 3.39.3:

• Use a statement journal on DML statement affecting two or more database rows if the statement makes use of a SQL functions that might abort.
• Use a mutex to protect the PRAGMA tempstoredirectory and PRAGMA datastoredirectory statements, even though they are decremented and documented as not being threadsafe.

Update to 3.39.2:

• Fix a performance regression in the query planner associated with rearranging the order of FROM clause terms in the presences of a LEFT JOIN.
• Apply fixes for CVE-2022-35737, Chromium bugs 1343348 and 1345947, forum post 3607259d3c, and other minor problems discovered by internal testing. [boo#1201783]

Update to 3.39.1:

• Fix an incorrect result from a query that uses a view that contains a compound SELECT in which only one arm contains a RIGHT JOIN and where the view is not the first FROM clause term of the query that contains the view
• Fix a long-standing problem with ALTER TABLE RENAME that can only arise if the sqlite3limit(SQLITELIMITSQLLENGTH) is set to a very small value.
• Fix a long-standing problem in FTS3 that can only arise when compiled with the SQLITEENABLEFTS3_PARENTHESIS compile-time option.
• Fix the initial-prefix optimization for the REGEXP extension so that it works correctly even if the prefix contains characters that require a 3-byte UTF8 encoding.
• Enhance the sqlite_stmt virtual table so that it buffers all of its output.

Update to 3.39.0:

• Add (long overdue) support for RIGHT and FULL OUTER JOIN
• Add new binary comparison operators IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and IS DISTINCT FROM that are equivalent to IS and IS NOT, respective, for compatibility with PostgreSQL and SQL standards
• Add a new return code (value '3') from the sqlite3vtabdistinct() interface that indicates a query that has both DISTINCT and ORDER BY clauses
• Added the sqlite3dbname() interface
• The unix os interface resolves all symbolic links in database filenames to create a canonical name for the database before the file is opened
• Defer materializing views until the materialization is actually needed, thus avoiding unnecessary work if the materialization turns out to never be used
• The HAVING clause of a SELECT statement is now allowed on any aggregate query, even queries that do not have a GROUP BY clause
• Many microoptimizations collectively reduce CPU cycles by about 2.3%.

Update to 3.38.5:

• Fix a blunder in the CLI of the 3.38.4 release

Update to 3.38.4:

• fix a byte-code problem in the Bloom filter pull-down optimization added by release 3.38.0 in which an error in the byte code causes the byte code engine to enter an infinite loop when the pull-down optimization encounters a NULL key

Update to 3.38.3:

• Fix a case of the query planner be overly aggressive with optimizing automatic-index and Bloom-filter construction, using inappropriate ON clause terms to restrict the size of the automatic-index or Bloom filter, and resulting in missing rows in the output.
• Other minor patches. See the timeline for details.

Update to 3.38.2:

• Fix a problem with the Bloom filter optimization that might cause an incorrect answer when doing a LEFT JOIN with a WHERE clause constraint that says that one of the columns on the right table of the LEFT JOIN is NULL.

• Other minor patches.

• Package the Tcl bindings here again so that we only ship one copy of SQLite (bsc#1195773).

Update to 3.38.1:

• Fix problems with the new Bloom filter optimization that might cause some obscure queries to get an incorrect answer.
• Fix the localtime modifier of the date and time functions so that it preserves fractional seconds.
• Fix the sqlite_offset SQL function so that it works correctly even in corner cases such as when the argument is a virtual column or the column of a view.
• Fix row value IN operator constraints on virtual tables so that they work correctly even if the virtual table implementation relies on bytecode to filter rows that do not satisfy the constraint.
• Other minor fixes to assert() statements, test cases, and documentation. See the source code timeline for details.

Update to 3.38.0

• Add the -> and ->> operators for easier processing of JSON
• The JSON functions are now built-ins
• Enhancements to date and time functions
• Rename the printf() SQL function to format() for better compatibility, with alias for backwards compatibility.
• Add the sqlite3erroroffset() interface for helping localize an SQL error to a specific character in the input SQL text
• Enhance the interface to virtual tables
• CLI columnar output modes are enhanced to correctly handle tabs and newlines embedded in text, and add options like '--wrap N', '--wordwrap on', and '--quote' to the columnar output modes.
• Query planner enhancements using a Bloom filter to speed up large analytic queries, and a balanced merge tree to evaluate UNION or UNION ALL compound SELECT statements that have an ORDER BY clause.
• The ALTER TABLE statement is changed to silently ignores entries in the sqliteschema table that do not parse when PRAGMA writableschema=ON

Update to 3.37.2:

• Fix a bug introduced in version 3.35.0 (2021-03-12) that can cause database corruption if a SAVEPOINT is rolled back while in PRAGMA temp_store=MEMORY mode, and other changes are made, and then the outer transaction commits
• Fix a long-standing problem with ON DELETE CASCADE and ON UPDATE CASCADE in which a cache of the bytecode used to implement the cascading change was not being reset following a local DDL change

Update to 3.37.1:

• Fix a bug introduced by the UPSERT enhancements of version 3.35.0 that can cause incorrect byte-code to be generated for some obscure but valid SQL, possibly resulting in a NULL- pointer dereference.
• Fix an OOB read that can occur in FTS5 when reading corrupt database files.
• Improved robustness of the --safe option in the CLI.
• Other minor fixes to assert() statements and test cases.

Update to 3.37.0:

• STRICT tables provide a prescriptive style of data type management, for developers who prefer that kind of thing.
• When adding columns that contain a CHECK constraint or a generated column containing a NOT NULL constraint, the ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN now checks new constraints against preexisting rows in the database and will only proceed if no constraints are violated.
• Added the PRAGMA table_list statement.
• Add the .connection command, allowing the CLI to keep multiple database connections open at the same time.
• Add the --safe command-line option that disables dot-commands and SQL statements that might cause side-effects that extend beyond the single database file named on the command-line.
• CLI: Performance improvements when reading SQL statements that span many lines.
• Added the sqlite3autovacuumpages() interface.
• The sqlite3_deserialize() does not and has never worked for the TEMP database. That limitation is now noted in the documentation.
• The query planner now omits ORDER BY clauses on subqueries and views if removing those clauses does not change the semantics of the query.
• The generateseries table-valued function extension is modified so that the first parameter ('START') is now required. This is done as a way to demonstrate how to write table-valued functions with required parameters. The legacy behavior is available using the -DZEROARGUMENTGENERATESERIES compile-time option.
• Added new sqlite3changes64() and sqlite3total_changes64() interfaces.
• Added the SQLITEOPENEXRESCODE flag option to sqlite3openv2().
• Use less memory to hold the database schema.
• bsc#1189802, CVE-2021-36690: Fix an issue with the SQLite Expert extension when a column has no collating sequence.
