Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions DBD::mysql versions prior to 4.037

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the DBD::mysql module for Perl Database Interface (DBI), which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to an error message, potentially leading to a service disruption.

Recommendations For DBD::mysql versions prior to 4.037, update to version 4.037 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the DBD::mysql module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
