CVE-2019-20919
Publication date 17 September 2020
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
An issue was discovered in the DBI module before 1.643 for Perl. The hv_fetch() documentation requires checking for NULL and the code does that. But, shortly thereafter, it calls SvOK(profile), causing a NULL pointer dereference.
