Debian DSA-3684-1 : libdbd-mysql-perl - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 93838

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Pali Rohar discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl, the Perl DBI database driver for MySQL and MariaDB, constructed an error message in a fixed-length buffer, leading to a crash (_FORTIFY_SOURCE failure) and, potentially, to denial of service.

Solution

Upgrade the libdbd-mysql-perl packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 4.028-2+deb8u2.
