CVE-2026-15043 (2026-07-14)

DBI::SQL::Nano versions from 1.42 before 1.651 for Perl have inverted <= and >= SQL operators on text. DBI::SQL::Nano, DBI's built-in mini-SQL engine, evaluated WHERE predicates incorrectly in some cases. In the non-numeric string branch of the is_matched method, <= was evaluated using Perl's ge operator, and >= was evaluated using Perl's le operator. SQL::Nano is the fallback query engine for DBI's file-backed drivers (DBD::File, DBD::DBM, CSV-style drivers) whenever SQL::Statement is not installed, and is forced whenever DBI_SQL_NANO=1. Queries over such tables use these predicates directly. The impact depends on the context. Where an application relies on a WHERE clause to filter file-backed data for policy or authorization, an inverted <=/>= comparison silently returns the wrong rows.

CVE-2026-15392 (2026-07-14)

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories. Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.

CVE-2026-60081 (2026-07-14)

DBI::ProfileData versions before 1.651 for Perl do not limit the path index. The path index column of profile dump files is used to allocate an array of data for the parser. An unbounded value allows an attacker to specify a large index and consume available memory.

CVE-2026-60082 (2026-07-14)

DBI versions before 1.651 for Perl do not enforce statement handle consistency with the row. When the statement handle had no fields but the source row was non-empty, the internal row-buffer helper would read from a negative array index. This could be triggered by a caller supplying inconsistent metadata and rows to the prepare method.

NAME

dbilogstrip - filter to normalize DBI trace logs for diff'ing

SYNOPSIS

Read DBI trace file dbitrace.log and write out a stripped version to dbitrace_stripped.log

dbilogstrip dbitrace.log > dbitrace_stripped.log

Run yourscript.pl twice, each with different sets of arguments, with DBI_TRACE enabled. Filter the output and trace through dbilogstrip into a separate file for each run. Then compare using diff. (This example assumes you're using a standard shell.)

DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args1... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace1.log
DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args2... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace2.log
diff -u dbitrace1.log dbitrace2.log

DESCRIPTION

Replaces any hex addresses, e.g, 0x128f72ce with 0xN.

Replaces any references to process id or thread id, like pid#6254 with pidN.

So a DBI trace line like this:

-> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x19162a0)~0x191f9c8 'f_params' ARRAY(0x1922018)) thr#1800400

will look like this:

-> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0xN)~0xN 'f_params' ARRAY(0xN)) thrN
