SQLite

If SQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ is defined and a large text or blob field that is aligned with the start of an overflow page is read, SQLite may temporarily modify (and then restore) the contents of up to 4 bytes of space immediately before a buffer obtained from malloc(). Here:

Normally this is not a problem, as the default malloc implementation used by SQLite always allocates at least 4 bytes of space for bookkeeping purposes before each buffer returned to SQLite. However, some custom malloc implemenations, or occasionally the built-in memsys3 or memsys5 implemenations, may not do this. In those cases the results are undefined.

Problem has existed for as long as SQLITE_DIRECT_OVERFLOW_READ has. Introduced by [2ab14a8467]. First published in version 3.7.9.

Fixed by [c3c15d20c6].
