What is CVE-2017-10788?

The DBD::mysql module for Perl prior to version 4.043 is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to disrupt application functionality. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of error responses from a MySQL server or loss of network connectivity, potentially leading to a use-after-free condition. The issue was attributed to inaccuracies in the MySQL documentation and examples related to the mysql_stmt_close function.
