    Debian Bug     : 1149042

    Vulnerabilities were discovered in libdbi-perl, the Perl Database
    Interface (DBI), which may lead to memory corruption, denial of service,
    or arbitrary module load.

    CVE-2026-78030

        Harsh Raj Singhania discovered that an attacker able to choose DSN
        fragments or request parameter can trigger arbitrary module load due
        to the lack of connect attribute validation.

    CVE-2026-88815

        Harsh Raj Singhania discovered that sql_type_cast_svpv() incorrectly
        treats numeric values as strings, which may lead to application
        crash.

    CVE-2026-88816

        Harsh Raj Singhania discovered that FetchHashKeyName incorrectly
        treats numeric values as strings, which may lead to application
        crash.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    1.643-4+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl packages.
