Calendar Grey January 18, 2019
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Upgrade to perl-Email-Address version 1.912 for Fedora 28 addresses vulnerabilities associated with CVE-2015-7686 and CVE-2018-12558.
Update to 1.912, fixes CVE-2015-7686 and CVE-2018-12558.

Summary

This class implements a regex-based RFC 2822 parser that locates email

addresses in strings and returns a list of Email::Address objects found.

Alternatively you may construct objects manually. The goal of this software

is to be correct, and very very fast.

Update to 1.912, fixes CVE-2015-7686 and CVE-2018-12558.
