Unity Linux 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: perl-DBI (UTSA-2026-126156)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 353330

Synopsis

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

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-126156 advisory.

DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl read one byte out-of-bounds in preparse when deleting an initial SQL comment.

The preparse method normalises SQL and removes comments. When the SQL starts with a comment line, the deletion of that line during normalisation led to an out-of-bounds read by one byte. The result is a fault on memory-hardened builds and nondeterministic newline retention on normal builds.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected perl-DBI package.
