    Package        : libdbi-perl     Version        : 1.643-3+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-9698 CVE-2026-10879

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libdbi-perl, the Perl Database     Interface (DBI), which may lead to denial of service or potentially     execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2026-9698

        Error messages that were returned when `RaiseError`, `PrintError` or         `HandleError` were set were written to a 200-byte buffer without a         length limit.  Attackers that can influence the error text in an         application could therefore trigger a buffer overflow.

    CVE-2026-10879

        The preparse method expands SQL placeholder characters to numbered         binders of the form `:pN`, but only allocates three characters per         binder in the buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds write when the         statement has 10 or more binders.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.643-3+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl packages.

    Package        : libdbi-perl     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-9698 CVE-2026-10879

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libdbi-perl, a Perl framework     that provides a common interface to access various backend databases in     a uniform manner, which may result in denial of service, or potentially     the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 1.643-4+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.647-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl packages.
