Hello,

I hope I'm asking at the correct place, I couldn't find a security contact
for sqlite.

We track CVE-2015-3717 and CVE-2015-3659 since we ship sqlite. Both affect
OS X, but I couldn't find why it only affects this OS or what was changed
to fix the issue. Can you please point me to a patch for the issue so I can
research it myself? The publicly available details are unfortunately scant.

Thanks
Johannes

We have no additional information on these reports. We didn't even
know they existed until we saw Reinhard's email a few moments ago.

Dan suggests that both problems might be fixed by
https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/8e4ac2ce24415926 and that the -3659
report comes about because Apple's authorizer callback allows
statements like "SQLITE printf()" to get through. Probably the patch
above does at least address -3717. But that's only a guess.
