Segmentation fault in sqlite3_db_config function

(1.1) By Song Liu (songliu) on 2023-04-05 23:54:01 edited from 1.0 [source]

I found a segment fault while SQLite (latest, 68a1a837493a0bc5) executes the poc.

The poc is mutated by fuzzing, therefore it contains some special characters and is not good for humans to read.

I uploaded the poc to google drive, here is the link: poc

the MD5 digest of poc: 104c628e8b63ddcfe79b4878737dc7b1

Here are the outputs:

[1]    2390343 segmentation fault  ./sqlite3 < poc

Here is the result of bisecting:

 11 BAD     2023-02-28 19:39:59 0f5579bef27b84ee CURRENT
  9 GOOD    2023-02-28 18:06:52 5916705c731604d2

Here is the ASAN report:

Any explanations are appreciated!

I just figured out the root cause, but it seems the bug has been fixed (1cd993c45cd6b60e)... Anyway, here is a minimum query that triggers the problem: .s 0.

Excellent job, Richard :)
