Detail
| Bastian Blank reported a denial of service vulnerability in Email::Address, a Perl module for RFC 2822 address parsing and creation. Email::Address::parse used significant time on parsing empty quoted strings. A remote attacker able to supply specifically crafted input to an application using Email::Address for parsing, could use this flaw to mount a denial of service attack against the application. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.895-1+deb7u1. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.905-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.905-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libemail-address-perl packages. |
