DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl are vulnerable to code injection via caller-influenced Profile. When a string is assigned to a DBI handle's Profile attribute, DBI splits it into path, package and arguments, and interpolates the package part in a string eval with no validation of the package name. Any caller-influenced value that reaches the Profile attribute is therefore arbitrary Perl code execution, including calls to run system commands. The Profile attribute can be set from three different sources that can carry untrusted data: the DBI_PROFILE environment variable, a direct attribute assignment, and a DSN driver-attribute clause dbi:Driver(Profile=>SPEC):db. An attacker controlling any of those inputs runs arbitrary Perl in the host process. The strongest remote position is a network-exposed DBI::Gofer / DBI::ProxyServer whose per-request DSN reaches the Profile attribute, letting a client execute code on the broker host.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3283-1 advisory.

    This update for perl-DBI fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2026-14380: unvalidated string eval interpolation of the Profile package name can lead to arbitrary     Perl code       execution (bsc#1271018).
    - CVE-2026-14740: one-byte out-of-bounds read when deleting an initial SQL comment line can lead to a     process crash       (bsc#1271017).
    - CVE-2026-15043: incorrect predicate evaluation in `DBI:SQL:Nano` can lead to bypass of file-backed     filters       (bsc#1271399).
    - CVE-2026-15392: missing checks to ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location in     `DBD::File`       allows for arbitrary file reads and writes (bsc#1271629).
    - CVE-2026-60081: no limiting of the path index in profile parser of `DBI:ProfileData` can enable small-     file       memory-amplification DoS (bsc#1271458).
    - CVE-2026-60082: out-of-bounds access in `_set_fbav` when a statement handle has zero fields but a non-     empty row       can lead to a process crash (bsc#1271459).

The version of perl-DBI installed on the remote host is prior to 1.627-4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3825 advisory.

    DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl are vulnerable to code injection via caller-influenced Profile.

    When a string is assigned to a DBI handle's Profile attribute, DBI splits it into path, package and     arguments, and interpolates the package part in a string eval with no validation of the package name.

    Any caller-influenced value that reaches the Profile attribute is therefore arbitrary Perl code execution,     including calls to run system commands.

    The Profile attribute can be set from three different sources that can carry untrusted data: the     DBI_PROFILE environment variable, a direct attribute assignment, and a DSN driver-attribute clause     dbi:Driver(Profile=>SPEC):db.

    An attacker controlling any of those inputs runs arbitrary Perl in the host process. The strongest remote     position is a network-exposed DBI::Gofer / DBI::ProxyServer whose per-request DSN reaches the Profile     attribute, letting a client execute code on the broker host. (CVE-2026-14380)

    DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl have a heap overflow when preparsing SQL statements with an extreme     number of placeholders.

    The fix for CVE-2026-10879 did not allocate enough memory to handle approximately 1.2-million     placeholders.

    DBI version 1.650 sets a hard limit of 99,999 placeholders. (CVE-2026-14739)

    DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl read one byte out-of-bounds in preparse when deleting an initial SQL     comment.

    The preparse method normalises SQL and removes comments. When the SQL starts with a comment line, the     deletion of that line during normalisation led to an out-of-bounds read by one byte. The result is a fault     on memory-hardened builds and nondeterministic newline retention on normal builds. (CVE-2026-14740)
