NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-DBI-debuginfo package and not the perl-DBI-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
