Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libdbi-perl.

CVE-2026-73194[0]:
| DBI versions before 1.652 for Perl allow a heap out-of-bounds write
| via an unvalidated numeric placeholder that sets the binder counter
| in preparse.  preparse reserves seven output bytes per input byte,
| the width of the longest ':p99999' expansion. The ':N' branch parses
| the number with `atoi(src)` and assigns it to the binder counter
| with no range check, so a statement containing ':2147483648' leaves
| the counter negative (-2147483648 with glibc, where atoi wraps).
| Each following '?' then expands through `sprintf(start, ":p%d",
| idx++)` to ':p-2147483648', 14 bytes with the terminating NUL where
| the buffer budgets 7. The placeholder limit added in 1.650 tests the
| counter against 99,999, which a negative counter passes.  Any caller
| that preparses an untrusted statement into ':pN' style placeholders
| gets a heap out-of-bounds write that grows with the number of '?'
| marks following the poisoned placeholder. The '?' and '%s' return
| styles compare the parsed number against the expected sequence and
| error out, and are unaffected.
