GHSA-83J7-3C78-FQ8J

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-09 09:32 – Updated: 2026-06-30 03:36

Details

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.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)
