Description

Summary Using `Database#create_aggregate`, `#create_aggregate_handler`, or `Database#define_aggregator` to define an aggregate function, and then using an open statement calling that function after the database has been explicitly closed will result in an invalid memory read and a segmentation fault. Mitigation Upgrade to sqlite3 gem v2.9.5 or later. As a workaround, avoid using an aggregate function after closing the database. Severity The sqlite3-ruby maintainers assess this as Low severity. It is reliably triggered after GC when code is structured in a particular way. There is no known general exploit that could be used as a denial of service attack.
