CVE-2026-14740  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 libdbi-perl to version 1.652-2~deb13u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libdbi-perl package and not the libdbi-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl read one byte out-of-bounds in preparse when deleting an initial SQL comment.

The preparse method normalises SQL and removes comments. When the SQL starts with a comment line, the deletion of that line during normalisation led to an out-of-bounds read by one byte. The result is a fault on memory-hardened builds and nondeterministic newline retention on normal builds.
