Security Advisories (2)
CVE-2012-1151 (2012-09-09)

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in dbdimp.c in DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module before 2.19.0 for Perl allow remote PostgreSQL database servers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via format string specifiers in (1) a crafted database warning to the pg_warn function or (2) a crafted DBD statement to the dbd_st_prepare function.

CVE-2009-1341 (2009-04-30)

Memory leak in the dequote_bytea function in quote.c in the DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module before 2.0.0 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by fetching data with BYTEA columns.

Changes for version 0.97

  • fix bug in connect method, which erroneously set the userid and the password to the environment variables DBI_USER and DBI_PASS.
  • applied patch from Jan-Pieter Cornet <john@pc.xs4all.nl>, which removed the special handling of a backslash when used for octal presentation. Now a backslash always will be escaped.
