Package : libdbd-mysql-perl
CVE ID : CVE-2016-1246
Paul 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.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.028-2+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-mysql-perl packages.
