CVE-2020-14393 (2020-09-16)

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.

CVE-2020-14392 (2020-06-17)

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.

CVE-2019-20919 (2020-09-17)

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.

CPANSA-DBI-2014-01 (2014-10-15)

DBD::File drivers open files from folders other than specifically passed using the f_dir attribute.

CVE-2014-10402 (2020-09-16)

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.

CVE-2014-10401 (2020-09-11)

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.

CVE-2013-7491 (2020-09-11)

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.

CVE-2013-7490 (2020-09-11)

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

DBD::Gofer::Policy::pedantic - The 'pedantic' policy for DBD::Gofer

SYNOPSIS

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=pedantic", ...)

DESCRIPTION

The pedantic policy tries to be as transparent as possible. To do this it makes round-trips to the server for almost every DBI method call.

This is the best policy to use when first testing existing code with Gofer. Once it's working well you should consider moving to the classic policy or defining your own policy class.

Temporary docs: See the source code for list of policies and their defaults.

In a future version the policies and their defaults will be defined in the pod and parsed out at load-time.
