CVE-2026-14740 is a one-byte out-of-bounds read in the DBI distribution for Perl affecting versions before 1.650. The flaw is in the preparse method, which normalizes SQL statements and strips comments before further processing. When an SQL statement begins with an initial comment line, removal of that leading comment during normalization can cause preparse to read one byte past the intended buffer boundary. On memory-hardened builds this can trigger a fault, while on typical builds it may instead manifest as nondeterministic retention of a newline during SQL normalization.
