critical Nessus Plugin ID 331420

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3415-1 advisory.

This update for perl-DBI fixes the following issues

- CVE-2026-14380: unvalidated string eval interpolation of the Profile package name can lead to arbitrary Perl code execution (bsc#1271018).
- CVE-2026-14740: one-byte out-of-bounds read when deleting an initial SQL comment line can lead to a process crash (bsc#1271017).
- CVE-2026-15043: incorrect predicate evaluation in `DBI:SQL:Nano` can lead to bypass of file-backed filters (bsc#1271399).
- CVE-2026-15392: missing checks to ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location in `DBD::File` allows for arbitrary file reads and writes (bsc#1271629).
- CVE-2026-60081: no limiting of the path index in profile parser of `DBI:ProfileData` can enable small- file memory-amplification DoS (bsc#1271458).
- CVE-2026-60082: out-of-bounds access in `_set_fbav` when a statement handle has zero fields but a non- empty row can lead to a process crash (bsc#1271459).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
