Debian DSA-3635-1 : libdbd-mysql-perl - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 92643

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Two use-after-free vulnerabilities were discovered in DBD::mysql, a Perl DBI driver for the MySQL database server. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against an application using DBD::mysql (application crash), or potentially to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Solution

Upgrade the libdbd-mysql-perl packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 4.028-2+deb8u1.
