NVD Description

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

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location.

The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories.

Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.
