NVD description

DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl have a heap overflow when preparsing SQL statements with more than 9 binders. The preparse method expands SQL placeholder characters to numbered binders of the form :pN, but only allocates three characters per binder in the buffer. Placeholders 10-99 require four characters, 100-999 require five characters, et cetera.

    🚨 CRITICAL - Perl DBI heap overflow via extreme SQL placeholders (CVE-2026-14739) DBI for Perl before 1.650 is vulnerable to a heap overflow in its SQL statement preparse logic when handling an extreme number of placeholders. The root cause is improper bounds checking / insufficient heap allocation (heap-based buffer overflow) stemming from an incomplete prior fix for CVE-2026-10879. An attacker can exploit this by feeding an application a crafted SQL statement (directly or via user-controlled query construction) containing roughly 1.2M placeholders, triggering memory corruption during preparse without needing elevated privileges beyond reaching the vulnerable code path. Successful exploitation can lead to process crashes (DoS) and potentially remote code execution in the context of the Perl application. 👉 Affected: DBI for Perl < 1.650 | Upgrade to 1.650

    Post summary

    The text announces a critical heap overflow in Perl DBI, provides technical exploitation details, and recommends upgrading to version 1.650.
