perl-DBI-1.643-9.el9_8.7

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: perl-DBI: Denial of Service via invalid memory read during numeric type casting (CVE-2026-88815)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

CVE-2026-88815
DBI versions before 1.654 for Perl incorrectly treat numeric values as strings in sql_type_cast_svpv. When casting to SQL_NUMERIC, sql_type_cast_svpv passes the string pointer and length of the SV to grok_number without stringifying it first. An integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value has no valid string pointer, so grok_number reads from an invalid address, triggering a segmentation fault. This is reachable in Perl using the sql_type_cast function: my $num = 42; DBI::sql_type_cast( $num, DBI::SQL_NUMERIC, 0 );
