The rubygem sqlite3 v1.5.1 upgrades the packaged version of libsqlite from v3.39.3 to v3.39.4. libsqlite v3.39.4 addresses a vulnerability described as follows in the release notification: Version 3.39.4 is a minimal patch against the prior release that addresses issues found since the prior release. In particular, a potential vulnerability in the FTS3 extension has been fixed, so this should be considered a security update. In order to exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must have full SQL access and must be able to construct a corrupt database with over 2GB of FTS3 content. The problem arises from a 32-bit signed integer overflow.
