None of these CVEs describe actual vulnerabilities, at least not for
the typical use-case for SQLite.

If you have an unusual application in which you allow unauthenticated
users to submit arbitrary SQL to your application, then four of these
CVEs describe a denial-of-service opportunity to an attacker.  In
other words, an attacker who can present arbitrary SQL queries (and
DDL statements) to the application can cause the application to crash.
Not many applications fall into that category, though.  The only
application that I know of that does this is the Chrome web-browser.

How does your application use SQLite?   Do you allow anonymous
attackers to present arbitrary SQL to your application?   If not, then
none of this applies to you.

The CVE-2019-19646 describes a bug in a new feature of SQLite that has
not yet been released.  CVE-2019-19646 was apparently submitted in
error.  Unfortunately, we do not know of any mechanism to correct
erroneous CVEs.  Do you?

All of the problems described by the CVEs you list have been fixed.
In fact, most of the CVEs you list point to the check-in that fixes
the problem, in a GitHub mirror of the SQLite repository.

The SQLite developers do not issue or track CVEs.  CVEs against SQLite
are issued by third-parties, typically third-parties who are running
fuzzers against the SQLite, and usually without the consultation or
approval of the SQLite developers.
