JSON

There is a vulnerability of type use-after-free affecting DBD::mysql (aka DBD-mysql or the Database Interface (DBI) MySQL driver for Perl) 3.x and 4.x before 4.041 when used with mysql_server_prepare=1.

Mitigation

This problem is only exposed when the user uses server-side prepared statement support (mysql_server_prepare=1), which is NOT default behavior and was turned off back for all drivers per MySQL AB decision in 2006 due to issues with server-side prepared statements in the server.

Use the default driver setting which uses emulated prepared statements.
