The code at [1] expects iColumn to be one of SERIES_COLUMN_START, SERIES_COLUMN_STOP, or SERIES_COLUMN_STEP (values 1, 2, or 3). However, the line can also be reached with a rowid constraint with an iColumn value of -1. Depending on the build configuration, the negative iCol may either trigger an assertion failure at [2] or lead to an out-of-bounds memory write access at [3].Version3.47.0 2024-10-05 12:02:17 2f7eab381e16760952d1c90a9119d2a217933f0136442d8f6eeb6d95e366ca4f (64-bit)Reproduction caseSELECT * FROM generate_series(1, 1) WHERE rowid = 1When built with assertions, the SQLite shell crashes with an assertion failure:shell.c:6816: seriesBestIndex: Assertion `iCol>=0 && iCol<=2' failed.When built with NDEBUG and ASan, the program produces the following crash report:==2623073==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-underflow on address 0x7ff83210be18 at pc 0x55dbc9afcd14 bp 0x7ffc7a497cd0 sp 0x7ffc7a497cc8WRITE of size 4 at 0x7ff83210be18 thread T0    #0 0x55dbc9afcd13 in seriesBestIndex shell.c:6828    #1 0x55dbc9d5aaa9 in vtabBestIndex sqlite3.c:164633    #2 0x55dbc9d66290 in whereLoopAddVirtualOne sqlite3.c:167237    #3 0x55dbc9d67e57 in whereLoopAddVirtual sqlite3.c:167549    #4 0x55dbc9d69f06 in whereLoopAddAll sqlite3.c:167822    #5 0x55dbc9d73724 in sqlite3WhereBegin sqlite3.c:169776    #6 0x55dbc9d1b3d2 in sqlite3Select sqlite3.c:151580    #7 0x55dbc9d8c131 in yy_reduce sqlite3.c:177608    #8 0x55dbc9d98b5c in sqlite3Parser sqlite3.c:179058    #9 0x55dbc9d9cc59 in sqlite3RunParser sqlite3.c:180392    #10 0x55dbc9cf1863 in sqlite3Prepare sqlite3.c:143187    #11 0x55dbc9cf1f65 in sqlite3LockAndPrepare sqlite3.c:143262    #12 0x55dbc9cf2356 in sqlite3_prepare_v2 sqlite3.c:143349    #13 0x55dbc9b30f63 in shell_exec shell.c:24228    #14 0x55dbc9b58583 in runOneSqlLine shell.c:31909    #15 0x55dbc9b59624 in process_input shell.c:32097    #16 0x55dbc9b5d1b7 in main shell.c:33026    #17 0x7ff834243b89 in __libc_start_call_main ../sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58    #18 0x7ff834243c44 in __libc_start_main_impl ../csu/libc-start.c:360    #19 0x55dbc9ae27a0 in _start (sq+0x4a7a0) (BuildId: 8e6639a5755a4687574b3d22d6cf593ca32bb8b6)Address 0x7ff83210be18 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 24 in frame    #0 0x55dbc9afc4b6 in seriesBestIndex shell.c:6732  This frame has 1 object(s):    [32, 60) 'aIdx' (line 6740) <== Memory access at offset 24 underflows this variableWe've observed that, depending on the compiler and SQLite build configuration, this issue may allow an attacker to overwrite pConstraint, which makes it likely exploitable. However, the generate_series extension is only enabled by default in the shell binary and not the library itself, so the impact of the issue is limited.Credit informationSergei Glazunov of Google Project ZeroThis bug is subject to a 90-day disclosure deadline.
