Vulnerability from csaf_opensuse - Published: 2026-09-25 06:55 - Updated: 2026-09-25 16:47

Summary

Important: perl-DBI:1.641 security update

Severity

Moderate

Notes

Title of the patch: Important: perl-DBI:1.641 security update

Description of the patch: The perl-DBI package provides the standard database interface module for the Perl programming language. It implements a database-independent interface, meaning it defines a consistent set of methods, variables, and conventions for database operations. Security Fix(es): perl-DBI: DBI for Perl: Heap out-of-bounds write via unvalidated numeric placeholder (CVE-2026-73194)

CVE-2026-73194 (GCVE-0-2026-73194)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-15 12:09 – Updated: 2026-08-17 20:29

Title

DBI versions before 1.652 for Perl allow a heap out-of-bounds write via an unvalidated numeric placeholder that sets the binder counter in preparse

Summary

DBI versions before 1.652 for Perl allow a heap out-of-bounds write via an unvalidated numeric placeholder that sets the binder counter in preparse. preparse reserves seven output bytes per input byte, the width of the longest ':p99999' expansion. The ':N' branch parses the number with `atoi(src)` and assigns it to the binder counter with no range check, so a statement containing ':2147483648' leaves the counter negative (-2147483648 with glibc, where atoi wraps). Each following '?' then expands through `sprintf(start, ":p%d", idx++)` to ':p-2147483648', 14 bytes with the terminating NUL where the buffer budgets 7. The placeholder limit added in 1.650 tests the counter against 99,999, which a negative counter passes. Any caller that preparses an untrusted statement into ':pN' style placeholders gets a heap out-of-bounds write that grows with the number of '?' marks following the poisoned placeholder. The '?' and '%s' return styles compare the parsed number against the expected sequence and error out, and are unaffected.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
