It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain protection
mechanisms when using a CLI script with the --safe option, contrary to
expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-46908)

in the sessions extension. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-7104)
