Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
DBI module through 1.643 for Perl
Description
The issue is related to the DBI module for Perl, where the DBD::File drivers can open files from folders other than those specifically passed via the
f dir attribute in the data source name (DSN). This is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. Exploitation of this issue can allow an attacker to access confidential data and cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For DBI module through 1.643 for Perl, consider restricting access to sensitive files and folders to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
f dir attribute in the DSN to prevent unauthorized file access.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
