Severity ?
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
CWE
  • CWE-843 - Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')
Summary
DBI versions before 1.654 for Perl incorrectly treat numeric values as strings in FetchHashKeyName. fetchrow_hashref uses the string pointer of the FetchHashKeyName attribute as the key name without stringifying it first. When FetchHashKeyName has been set to an integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value, that pointer is invalid, so reading the key name triggers a segmentation fault. This can be triggered with the following code: my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:ExampleP:", "", "", { RaiseError => 0, PrintError => 0 } ); $dbh->{FetchHashKeyName} = 42; my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select mode, size, name from ."); $sth->execute; $sth->fetchrow_hashref;
