Hunting a 16-year-old SQLite WAL Bug with TLA+MODELS Desk · Set in type · No PhotographModels / Research · 03 July 2026Hunting a 16-year-old SQLite WAL Bug with TLA+SQLite recently patched a rare, 16-year-old bug in its Write-Ahead Log (WAL) checkpointing system that could lead to database corruption. This post from Canonical's dqlite (distributed SQLite) team walks through how they used TLA+ to formally model SQLite's internal behavior, isolate the exact sequence of steps needed to trigger the corruption, and determine whether their own system was vulnerable.2 min. read
