Summary

Vulnerability in DBI::ProfileData for Perl before version 1.651 does not limit the path index. The path index column of profile dump files is used to allocate an array of data for the parser, and an unbounded value allows an attacker to specify a large index and consume available memory.

Risk Assessment

The risk is a potential memory exhaustion attack, which can lead to denial of service (DoS) in Perl applications using DBI::ProfileData to process profile files.

Recommendation

Update the DBI::ProfileData library to version 1.651 or later, which includes a limit on the path index.
