Echo: libdbi-perl: security update to 1.652-2~deb13u1+e2

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465921

Description

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

 - DBI versions before 1.653 for Perl load arbitrary modules via unvalidated dbm_type and dbm_mldbm
 attributes in DBD::DBM. DBD::DBM passes the dbm_type and dbm_mldbm connect attributes to require without
 checking that the value names a module. require treats a path-shaped string as a literal filename and does
 not consult @INC, so the attribute chooses the file that Perl loads and runs. The MLDBM::Serializer::
 prefix that DBD::DBM prepends to dbm_mldbm is not a boundary: only the :: separators are rewritten to /,
 so a value containing / traverses out of the serializer directory. The value is also assigned to
 $MLDBM::Serializer, which MLDBM requires the same way when it ties the table. A caller that lets an
 untrusted party influence either attribute, for example through a DSN fragment or a parameter that selects
 a storage backend, runs the file-scope code of whatever module the value names. For example, my $dsn =
 "dbi:DBM:f_dir=/var/db;dbm_type=../../Untrusted.pm" my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn ); Note that DBD::Gofer
 forwards connect attributes to the server side, and DBI::ProxyServer checks only that a DSN starts with a
 driver prefix. (CVE-2026-78030)

Solution

Update the libdbi-perl library and its related packages to version 1.652-2~deb13u1+e2 or later.
