CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/134.html

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in dbdimp.c in DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module before 2.19.0 for Perl allow remote PostgreSQL database servers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via format string specifiers in (1) a crafted database warning to the pg_warn function or (2) a crafted DBD statement to the dbd_st_prepare function.

Weakness

The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
