DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories. Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.

    Package        : libdbi-perl     Version        : 1.643-3+deb11u2 1.643-4+deb12u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-14380 CVE-2026-14739 CVE-2026-14740 CVE-2026-15043                      CVE-2026-15392 CVE-2026-60081 CVE-2026-60082 CVE-2026-73193                      CVE-2026-73194     Debian Bug     : 1141667 1142072 1144470 1144471

    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.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl packages.

    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.

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

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 ALAS2-2026-3851 advisory.

    DBI::SQL::Nano versions from 1.42 before 1.651 for Perl have inverted <= and >= SQL operators on text.

    DBI::SQL::Nano, DBI's built-in mini-SQL engine, evaluated WHERE predicates incorrectly in some cases. In     the non-numeric string branch of the is_matched method, <= was evaluated using Perl's ge operator, and >=     was evaluated using Perl's le operator.

    SQL::Nano is the fallback query engine for DBI's file-backed drivers (DBD::File, DBD::DBM, CSV-style     drivers) whenever SQL::Statement is not installed, and is forced whenever DBI_SQL_NANO=1. Queries over     such tables use these predicates directly.

    The impact depends on the context. Where an application relies on a WHERE clause to filter file-backed     data for policy or authorization, an inverted <=/>= comparison silently returns the wrong rows.
    (CVE-2026-15043)

    DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted     location.

    The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a     symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the     configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories.

    Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory. (CVE-2026-15392)

    DBI::ProfileData versions before 1.651 for Perl do not limit the path index.

    The path index column of profile dump files is used to allocate an array of data for the parser. An     unbounded value allows an attacker to specify a large index and consume available memory. (CVE-2026-60081)

    DBI versions before 1.651 for Perl do not enforce statement handle consistency with the row.

    When the statement handle had no fields but the source row was non-empty, the internal row-buffer helper     would read from a negative array index.

    This could be triggered by a caller supplying inconsistent metadata and rows to the prepare method.
