## Overview

SQLite 1.0.12 through 3.39.x before 3.39.2 sometimes allows an array-bounds overflow if billions of bytes are used in a string argument to a C API.

## Affected

- `sqlite >= 1.0.12, < 3.39.2`
- `ontap_select_deploy_administration_utility`
- `universal_forwarder >= 8.2.0, < 8.2.12`
- `universal_forwarder >= 9.0.0, < 9.0.6`
- `universal_forwarder = 9.1.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `sqlite 3.39.2`
- `universal_forwarder 9.0.6`
