Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2014-06-18 10:41:39 UTC

It was discovered [1] that there's a denial of service vulnerability in Email::Address, a Perl module for RFC 2822 address parsing and creation [2]. Email::Address::parse uses significant time on parsing empty quoted string, as allowed by RFC 2822.

Suggested fix was applied upstream as [3] contained in a new upstream version 1.905 [4] which contain additional commits [5] to avoid slowdowns.
