Patched package submitted for Mageia 5.

Advisory:
========================

Updated perl-DBD-mysql package fixes security vulnerabilities:

Two use-after-free vulnerabilities were discovered in DBD::mysql. A remote
attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial-of-service against
an application using DBD::mysql (application crash), or potentially to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application
(CVE-2014-9906, CVE-2015-8949).
