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

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474803

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 FetchHashKeyName.
 fetchrow_hashref uses the string pointer of the FetchHashKeyName attribute as the key name without
 stringifying it first. When FetchHashKeyName has been set to an integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value,
 that pointer is invalid, so reading the key name triggers a segmentation fault. This can be triggered with
 the following code: my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:ExampleP:", "", "", { RaiseError => 0, PrintError => 0 }
 ); $dbh->{FetchHashKeyName} = 42; my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select mode, size, name from .");
 $sth->execute; $sth->fetchrow_hashref; (CVE-2026-88816)

Solution

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