    descriptionTwo use-after-free vulnerabilities were discovered in DBD::mysql, a Perl DBI driver for the MySQL database server. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against an application using DBD::mysql (application crash), or potentially to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
