Red Hat Perl DBI may let attackers access databases

published 1 month ago
Summary

The Perl DBI library used on Red Hat systems can be tricked into running code that accesses or changes data in your databases. This could let an attacker view or modify information without permission. Update the perl-dbi packages to the latest version to close the risk.

What to do
  • Update redhat perl-dbi to version 0:1.641-10.module+el8.10.0+24875+bc962974.
  • Update redhat perl-dbi-debuginfo to version 0:1.641-10.module+el8.10.0+24875+bc962974.
  • Update redhat perl-dbi-debugsource to version 0:1.641-10.module+el8.10.0+24875+bc962974.
