CVE-2018-8740

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SQLite versions prior to 3.22.0

Description: The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the SQLite database management system. It occurs when a database's schema is corrupted using a CREATE TABLE AS statement, specifically involving the build.c and prepare.c components. This could potentially allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations: For SQLite versions prior to 3.22.0, update to version 3.22.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the CREATE TABLE AS statement until a patch is available.
