Description Pedro Sampaio 2020-09-09 14:47:19 UTC 
A flaw was found in perl-dbi before version 1.643. 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.
