CVE-2016-6153
mediumpriority · track · 24EPSS 0.005 · 41 %ileCHEURUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-27
os_unix.c in SQLite before 3.13.0 improperly implements the temporary directory search algorithm, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (application crash), or have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of the current working directory for temporary files.

- MitigationAbility Camera Connectabb_psirt
This vulnerability affects temporary file handling on Unix-based systems: - Windows Deployment: Camera Connect is primarily deployed on Windows operating systems in industrial environments (note: the vulnerability description specifically references os_unix.c). Windows-based deployments are not affected by this Unix-specific implementation issue. - Local Access Required: The CVE describes "local users" as the threat actors, requiring authenticated local sys-tem access. In OT environments, local system access is restricted to authorized administrators. - Temporary File Usage: The vulnerability relates to temporary file creation. Modern SQLite versions and Camera Connect's configuration may specify explicit temporary directory locations rather than relying on the de-fault search algorithm. - File System Permissions: Windows operating systems used in industrial environments typically implement proper file system permissions and user access controls. - Sensitive Information Exposure: Any sensitive information in temporary files would be limited to transient database operations and would not include long-term sensitive data. The Unix-specific nature of this vulnerability and Camera Connect's typical deployment on Windows systems significantly reduces applicability.
