CVE-2015-3414 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly implement the dequoting of collation-sequence names, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted COLLATE clause, as demonstrated by COLLATE"""""""" at the end of a SELECT statement.. EPSS estimates a 4.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
