Fedora: 2020-22764f623f Moderate: perl-Email-MIME Memory Exhaustion Risk

fedora
Calendar Grey June 2, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Mitigate excessive nested MIME sections to prevent memory overload in perl-Email-MIME after Fedora 32 upgrade FEDORA-2020-22764f623f.
This update limits the number of nested MIME parts to 10 (by default), to avoid a possible memory exhaustion issue with lots of tiny MIME parts.

Summary

This is an extension of the Email::Simple module, to handle MIME

encoded messages. It takes a message as a string, splits it up

into its constituent parts, and allows you access to various

parts of the message. Headers are decoded from MIME encoding.

This update limits the number of nested MIME parts to 10 (by default), to avoid

a possible memory exhaustion issue with lots of tiny MIME parts.

* Sun May 24 2020 Paul Howarth - 1.949-1

- Update to 1.949

- Add $Email::MIME::MAX_DEPTH and refuse to parse deeper than that many

parts; current default: 10

- Fixes to handling of content-type parameters
