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.

CVE-2016-1251 [MEDIUM] libdbd-mysql-perl vulnerabilities
Title: libdbd-mysql-perl vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libdbd-mysql-perl.
It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not correctly handle certain
SQL queries. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2016-1249)
It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not correctly handle certain
memory operations, which could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1251, CVE-2017-10788)
It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not properly enforce SSL
connections depending on the mysql_ssl setting. A machine-in-the-middle
attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof servers. (CVE-2017-10789)

CVE-2016-1249 [MEDIUM] DBD::mysql vulnerabilities
Title: DBD::mysql vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in DBD::mysql.
It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module, when configured with server-side
prepared statement support, was susceptible to operations that would result in
improper memory access. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
DBD::mysql to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2016-1249, CVE-2016-1251)
It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module was susceptible to an operation
that would result in improper memory access, introduced through incorrect
documentation and code examples. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
