## Overview

A segmentation fault can occur in the sqlite3.exe command-line component of SQLite 3.36.0 via the idxGetTableInfo function when there is a crafted SQL query. NOTE: the vendor disputes the relevance of this report because a sqlite3.exe user already has full privileges (e.g., is intentionally allowed to execute commands). This report does NOT imply any problem in the SQLite library.

## Affected

- `sqlite = 3.36.0`
- `zfs_storage_appliance_kit = 8.8`
- `iphone_os < 16.0`
- `macos < 13.0`
- `tvos < 16.0`
- `watchos < 9.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `iphone_os 16.0`
- `macos 13.0`
- `tvos 16.0`
- `watchos 9.0`
