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.

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.

NAME

DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone - DBD::Gofer client transport for testing

SYNOPSIS

$original_dsn = "...";
DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=pipeone;dsn=$original_dsn",...)

or, enable by setting the DBI_AUTOPROXY environment variable:

export DBI_AUTOPROXY="dbi:Gofer:transport=pipeone"

DESCRIPTION

Connect via DBD::Gofer and execute each request by starting executing a subprocess.

This is, as you might imagine, spectacularly inefficient!

It's only intended for testing. Specifically it demonstrates that the server side is completely stateless.

It also provides a base class for the much more useful DBD::Gofer::Transport::stream transport.
