CVE-2017-10989
The getNodeSize function in ext/rtree/rtree.c in SQLite through 3.19.3, as used in GDAL and other products, mishandles undersized RTree blobs in a crafted database, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read or possibly unspecified other impact.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.61%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
