# Tailscale says deeply buried 16-year-old SQLite bug caused last year's outages

**[The Register](https://daily.dev/sources/theregister)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The provided content is a navigation/aggregation page from The Register listing unrelated headlines (AI, infosec, FOSS sections) rather than the actual body of the Tailscale SQLite bug story. The title references Tailscale attributing last year's outages to a 16-year-old SQLite bug dubbed 'WAL-Reset', which reportedly took months to track down and required building a new logging tool to identify, but the article body itself is not present in the extracted content.
