Discussion

DBD::Pg 'pg_getline()' and 'getline()' Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

DBD::Pg is prone to multiple heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities that occur because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers may be able to exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of an application that uses the vulnerable module. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

DBD::Pg 1.49 as distributed with Debian 4.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
