The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use-after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples.

The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a "your communication with the server will be encrypted" statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the my_login function in DBD::mysql before 4.033_01 allows attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging a call to mysql_errno after a failure of my_login.

There is a vulnerability of type use-after-free affecting DBD::mysql (aka DBD-mysql or the Database Interface (DBI) MySQL driver for Perl) 3.x and 4.x before 4.041 when used with mysql_server_prepare=1.
