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.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 675bc714-b8cd-11f1-ad2b-40b034429ecf advisory.

    DBI 1.650, 1.651, 1.652, 1.653 and 1.654 fix the following issues:

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in libdbi-perl, the Perl     Database Interface (DBI), which may lead to arbitrary code execution,     denial of service, file-backed filter bypass or path traversal.

    CVE-2026-14380

        It was found that missing input validation when interpolating the         package name in a string `eval` may lead to arbitrary Perl code         execution from an attacker able controlling the Profile attribute,         for instance via the `DBI_PROFILE` environment variable or a DSN         driver-attribute clause `dbi:Driver(Profile=>SPEC):db`.

    CVE-2026-14739

        It was found that preparsing SQL statements with an excessively high         (over one million) number of placeholders could lead to heap         overflow.

        This update sets a hard limit of 99999 placeholders.

    CVE-2026-14740

        It was found that preparsing an SQL statement starting with a         comment line could lead to an out-of-bounds read by one byte.

    CVE-2026-15043

        It was found that DBI::SQL::Nano, DBI's built-in mini-SQL engine,         evaluated `WHERE` predicates by incorrectly inverting `<=` and `>=`         SQL operators on text, which may lead to file-backed filter bypass.

    CVE-2026-15392

        It was found that DBD::File did not check whether the table file is         a symbolic link, which may lead to path traversal if the target         points outside the `f_dir` and `f_dir_search` directories.

        This issue stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-10401 and         CVE-2014-10402.

    CVE-2026-60081

        It was found that DBI::ProfileData did not limit the path index when         parsing a profile-dump file, which may lead to denial of service.

        This updates adds a configurable maximum path depth         `$DBI::Profile::MAX_PATH_DEPTH`, with a default value of 256.

    CVE-2026-60082

        It was found that missing statement handle consistency checks could         lead to an out-of-bounds read when a statement handle had no fields         and the source row was non-empty.

    CVE-2026-73193

        A heap out-of-bounds write issue was found on 32-bit platforms due to         integer overflow in the output buffer size computed by the `preparse()`         function.

        This updates limits the size of SQL statements to 292 MiB.

    CVE-2026-73194

        A heap out-of-bounds write issue was found due to unvalidated         numeric placeholder in the `preparse()` function.

        This issue stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-14739.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.643-3+deb11u2.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     1.643-4+deb12u2.

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libdbi-perl, a Perl framework     that provides a common interface to access various backend databases in     a uniform manner, which could result in denial of service, path     traversal, bypass of file-backed filters or the execution of arbitrary     code.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.652-2~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl packages.

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)
