An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.632 for Perl. Using many arguments to methods for Callbacks may lead to memory corruption.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.632 for Perl. Using many arguments to methods for     Callbacks may lead to memory corruption. (CVE-2013-7490)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2020:14510-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.632 for Perl. Using many arguments to methods for     Callbacks may lead to memory corruption. (CVE-2013-7490)

  - An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.628 for Perl. Stack corruption occurs when a user-     defined function requires a non-trivial amount of memory and the Perl stack gets reallocated.
    (CVE-2013-7491)

  - An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.643 for Perl. The hv_fetch() documentation requires     checking for NULL and the code does that. But, shortly thereafter, it calls SvOK(profile), causing a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-20919)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for perl-DBI fixes the following issues :

CVE-2019-20919: Fixed a NULL profile dereference in dbi_profile (bsc#1176764).

CVE-2013-7490: Fixed memory corruption when using many arguments to methods for CallbacksUsing (bsc#1176496).
