Rocky Linux 9.6 [TuxCare] Security Update: perl-DBI Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1784809563)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 351502

Synopsis

The Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1784809563 advisory.

 - DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl have a heap overflow when preparsing SQL statements with more than 9 binders. The preparse method expands SQL placeholder characters to numbered binders of the form :pN, but only allocates three characters per binder in the buffer. Placeholders 10-99 require four characters, 100-999 require five characters, et cetera. (CVE-2026-10879)

 - DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl saved errors in a limited-sized buffer. Error messages that were returned when RaiseError, PrintError or HandleError were set were written to a 200-byte buffer without a length limit. Attackers that can influence the error text in an application can trigger a buffer overflow.
 (CVE-2026-9698)

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

Solution

Update the affected perl-DBI package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1784809563.
