Summary

A vulnerability in DBD::File for Perl before version 1.651 allows bypassing file access restrictions. The complete_table_name method does not verify if the table file is a symlink to an untrusted location.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can read or write files outside the configured data directories, leading to data confidentiality and integrity breaches.

Recommendation

Update DBD::File to version 1.651 or later, which includes a fix preventing symlink traversal.

Original NVD description (English source)

DBD::File versions before 1.651 for Perl do not ensure the table file is not a symlink to an untrusted location. The complete_table_name method builds the absolute table file path without checking whether the file is a symbolic link. A link inside the data directory can point to a table file at any path outside of the configured f_dir and f_dir_search directories. Callers of file-based drivers can read or write files outside of the data directory.
