    "summary": "The DBI is the standard database interface module for Perl. It defines a set of methods, variables and conventions that provide a consistent database interface independent of the actual database being used. It is important to remember that the DBI is just an interface. The DBI is a layer of "glue" between an application and one or more database driver modules. It is the driver modules which do most of the real work. The DBI provides a standard interface and framework for the drivers to operate within. Security Fix(es): DBI versions before 1.654 for Perl incorrectly treat numeric values as strings in sql_type_cast_svpv. When casting to SQL_NUMERIC, sql_type_cast_svpv passes the string pointer and length of the SV to grok_number without stringifying it first. An integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value has no valid string pointer, so grok_number reads from an invalid address, triggering a segmentation fault. This is reachable in Perl using the sql_type_cast function: my $num = 42; DBI::sql_type_cast( $num, DBI::SQL_NUMERIC, 0 );(CVE-2026-88815) DBI versions before 1.654 for Perl incorrectly treat numeric values as strings in FetchHashKeyName. fetchrow_hashref uses the string pointer of the FetchHashKeyName attribute as the key name without stringifying it first. When FetchHashKeyName has been set to an integer (IV) or floating-point (NV) value, that pointer is invalid, so reading the key name triggers a segmentation fault. This can be triggered with the following cod",
