Update for openSUSE Leap 16.0 improves security for perl-DBI by resolving multiple issues including file access and DoS risks.
openSUSE released a security update for perl-DBI addressing four vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized file access and denial of service, applicable to openSUSE Leap 16.0...

Description

This update for perl-DBI fixes the following issues:

- CVE-2026-15392: failure to validate symbolic links during table path resolution could allow unauthorized file reads

and writes outside the configured data director (bsc#1271629).

- CVE-2026-15043: `DBI:SQL:Nano` has incorrect predicate evaluation, which allows for bypass of file-backed filters

(bsc#1271399).

- CVE-2026-60081: `DBI:ProfileData` does not limit the path index in profile parser, which enables small-file

memory-amplification DoS (bsc#1271458).

- CVE-2026-60082: out-of-bounds access in `_set_fbav` when a statement handle has zero fields but a non-empty row,
