What is CVE-2019-19959?

The SQLite 3.30.1 version contains a flaw in the ext/misc/zipfile.c file, which improperly handles certain uses of the 'INSERT INTO' command when filenames include embedded '\0' characters. This implementation flaw can lead to potential memory management errors that are detectable using tools like Valgrind. Users should be cautious when utilizing affected functionalities, ensuring that they are aware of how embedded characters are processed within filenames to mitigate possible risks.
