Echo: libdbi-perl: security update to 1.654-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474881

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - DBI versions before 1.654 for Perl incorrectly treat numeric values as strings in sql_type_cast_svpv. When
 casting to SQL_NUMERIC, sql_type_cast_svpv passes the string pointer and length of the SV to grok_number
 without stringifying it first. An integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value has no valid string pointer,
 so grok_number reads from an invalid address, triggering a segmentation fault. This is reachable in Perl
 using the sql_type_cast function: my $num = 42; DBI::sql_type_cast( $num, DBI::SQL_NUMERIC, 0 );
 (CVE-2026-88815)

Solution

Update the libdbi-perl library and its related packages to version 1.654-1 or later.
