high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424340

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- An issue was discovered in the DBI module through 1.643 for Perl. DBD::File drivers can open files from
folders other than those specifically passed via the f_dir attribute in the data source name (DSN). NOTE:
this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-10401. (CVE-2014-10402)

- An untrusted pointer dereference flaw was found in Perl-DBI < 1.643. A local attacker who is able to
manipulate calls to dbd_db_login6_sv() could cause memory corruption, affecting the service's
availability. (CVE-2020-14392)

- A buffer overflow was found in perl-DBI < 1.643 in DBI.xs. A local attacker who is able to supply a string
longer than 300 characters could cause an out-of-bounds write, affecting the availability of the service
or integrity of data. (CVE-2020-14393)
