Security Advisories (9)
A buffer overflow was found in perl-DBI < 1.643 in DBI.xs. A local attacker who is able to supply a string longer than 300 characters could cause an out-of-bounds write, affecting the availability of the service or integrity of data.
An untrusted pointer dereference flaw was found in Perl-DBI < 1.643. A local attacker who is able to manipulate calls to dbd_db_login6_sv() could cause memory corruption, affecting the service's availability.

An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.643 for Perl. The hv_fetch() documentation requires checking for NULL and the code does that. But, shortly thereafter, it calls SvOK(profile), causing a NULL pointer dereference.

DBD::File drivers open files from folders other than specifically passed using the f_dir attribute.
Allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.
An issue was discovered in the DBI module through 1.643 for Perl. DBD::File drivers can open files from folders other than those specifically passed via the f_dir attribute in the data source name (DSN). NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-10401.
An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.632 for Perl. DBD::File drivers can open files from folders other than those specifically passed via the f_dir attribute.

An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.628 for Perl. Stack corruption occurs when a user-defined function requires a non-trivial amount of memory and the Perl stack gets reallocated.
An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.632 for Perl. Using many arguments to methods for Callbacks may lead to memory corruption.
NAME
Bundle::DBI - A bundle to install DBI and required modules.
SYNOPSIS
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBI'
CONTENTS
DBI - for to get to know thyself
DBI::Shell 11.91 - the DBI command line shell
Storable 2.06 - for DBD::Proxy and DBI::ProxyServer
Net::Daemon 0.37 - for DBD::Proxy and DBI::ProxyServer
RPC::PlServer 0.2016 - for DBD::Proxy and DBI::ProxyServer
DBD::Multiplex 1.19 - treat multiple db handles as one
DESCRIPTION
This bundle includes all the modules used by the Perl Database Interface (DBI) module, created by Tim Bunce.
A Bundle is a module that simply defines a collection of other modules. It is used by the CPAN module to automate the fetching, building and installing of modules from the CPAN ftp archive sites.
This bundle does not deal with the various database drivers (e.g. DBD::Informix, DBD::Oracle etc), most of which require software from sources other than CPAN. You'll need to fetch and build those drivers yourself.
AUTHORS
Jonathan Leffler, Jochen Wiedmann and Tim Bunce.
Module Install Instructions
To install DBI, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
