The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5030-1 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in the DBI module through 1.643 for Perl. DBD::File drivers can open files from folders other than those specifically passed via the f_dir attribute in the data source name (DSN). NOTE:
    this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-10401. (CVE-2014-10402)

  • A buffer overflow was found in perl-DBI < 1.643 in DBI.xs. A local attacker who is able to supply a string longer than 300 characters could cause an out-of-bounds write, affecting the availability of the service or integrity of data. (CVE-2020-14393)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
