I would never argue they aren't, but by this logic ("it's like saying PDF or JPEG parsers can't be vulnerable to RCE") virtually every code execution vuln in a library can be called RCE. I haven't noticed this to be the case with e.g. libtiff vulnerabilities (of which many make it into my inbox regularly), although image libraries are one of the cases were CE = RCE is still fairly reasonable.
Let's assume this SQLite bug is only exploitable if you can input arbitrary SQL. Almost no applications use it this way (except Chrome). I think it's clearly unreasonable to call it a RCE in SQLite then.
- tptacek 8y agoUh, no, for example, it could also potentially impact any application that uses sqlite as (part of) a file format.
