CVE-2019-19923 (published 2019-12-24T16:15Z)

flattenSubquery in select.c in SQLite 3.30.1 mishandles certain uses of SELECT DISTINCT involving a LEFT JOIN in which the right-hand side is a view. This can cause a NULL pointer dereference (or incorrect results).

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVSS v3 base score: 7.5, HIGH (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-476
cwe_name: NULL Pointer Dereference
description: The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.

msg: Continue to back away from the LEFT JOIN optimization of check-in [41c27bc0ff1d3135]
by disallowing query flattening if the outer query is DISTINCT.  Without this fix,
if an index scan is run on the table within the view on the right-hand side of the
LEFT JOIN, stale result registers might be accessed yielding incorrect results,
and/or an OP_IfNullRow opcode might be invoked on the un-opened table, resulting
in a NULL-pointer dereference.  This problem was found by the Yongheng and Rui fuzzer.
