CVE-2026-10879 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-DBI package and not the perl-DBI package as distributed by RHEL.
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.
