Notes
[bullseye] - db5.3 <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
[buster] - db5.3 <ignored> (vulnerable code is present but unused in Debian, and fix is too risky to backport)
[stretch] - db5.3 <ignored> (vulnerable code is present but unused in Debian, and fix is too risky to backport)
[stretch] - sqlite3 <ignored> (vulnerable code is present but unused in Debian, and fix is too risky to backport)
[jessie] - sqlite3 <ignored> (vulnerable code is present but unused in Debian, and fix is too risky to backport)
- sqlite <not-affected> (rtree extension not present in v2)
Fixed by: https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/90acdbfce9c08858
Make the internal dynamic string interface available to extensions:

Affected function is not used in Debian and meant for debugging purposes,
backporting the fix would be very complex.
