    CVE-2016-6153

    Summary: Updated sqlite3 packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: It was discovered that sqlite3 would reject a temporary directory (e.g., as specified by the TMPDIR environment variable) to which the executing user did not have read permissions. This could result in information leakage as less secure global temporary directories (e.g., /var/tmp or /tmp) would be used instead (CVE-2016-6153).
