Description:

This update for sqlite3 fixes the following issues:

  • Update to 3.50.2:
  • Fix the concat_ws() SQL function so that it includes empty strings in the concatenation.
  • Avoid writing frames with no checksums into the wal file if a savepoint is rolled back after dirty pages have already been spilled into the wal file.
  • Fix the Bitvec object to avoid stack overflow when the database is within 60 pages of its maximum size.
  • Fix a problem with UPDATEs on fts5 tables that contain BLOB values.
  • Fix an issue with transitive IS constraints on a RIGHT JOIN.
  • CVE-2025-6965: Fixed Integer Truncation in SQLite (bsc#1246597)

  • Ensure that sqlite3_setlk_timeout() holds the database mutex.

  • Update to 3.50 (3.50.1):

  • Improved handling and robust output of control characters
  • sqlite3_rsync no longer requires WAL mode and needs less bandwidth
  • Bug fixes and optimized JSON handling

  • Performance optimizations and developer visible fixes

  • Update to release 3.49.2:

  • Fix a bug in the NOT NULL optimization of version 3.40.0 that can lead to a memory error if abused.
  • Fix the count-of-view optimization so that it does not give an incorrect answer for a DISTINCT query.
  • Fix a possible incorrect answer that can result if a UNIQUE constraint of a table contains the PRIMARY KEY column and that UNIQUE constraint is used by an IN operator.
  • Fix obscure problems with the generate_series() extension function.

  • Incremental improvements to the configure/make.

  • Add subpackage for the lemon parser generator.
