Echo: libdbi-perl: security update to 1.656-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477470

Description

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

 - DBI versions before 1.656 for Perl crash via type confusion in dbi_profile when a database handle is
 destroyed under a Profile Path with an {attr} element. An {attr} element names a database handle
 attribute, which dbi_profile reads from the handle's inner hash. It expects the inner handle as a
 reference and dereferences it, but a handle that is being destroyed hands back the inner hash itself, so
 the dereference yields the hash's bucket array. A type check on that pointer usually fails and the call
 goes unprofiled. When the memory it addresses passes the check, the attribute lookup dereferences a NULL
 or invalid pointer and the process dies on SIGSEGV. The Path is set by the application, by the Profile
 handle attribute, or by the DBI_PROFILE environment variable, so `DBI_PROFILE={ImplementorClass}` can
 crash an unmodified program. (CVE-2026-108518)

Solution

Update the libdbi-perl library and its related packages to version 1.656-1 or later.
