listed in the References section.

CVE-2026-9698
DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl saved errors in a limited-sized buffer. Error
messages that were returned when RaiseError, PrintError or HandleError were set
were written to a 200-byte buffer without a length limit. Attackers that can
influence the error text in an application can trigger a buffer overflow.
