            Bug ID: 1877402
           Summary: perl-dbi: Memory corruption in XS functions when Perl
                    stack is reallocated
           Product: Security Response
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: vulnerability
          Keywords: Security
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Other



A flaw was found in perl-dbi. Macro ST(*) returns pointer to Perl stack. Other
Perl functions which use Perl stack (e.g. eval) may reallocate Perl stack and
therefore pointer returned by ST(*) macro is invalid which may lead to memory
corruption.
