FEDORA-2024-032e16360b
2024-05-25 01:04:07.908630
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : perl-Email-MIME
Product     : Fedora 40
Version     : 1.954
Release     : 1.fc40
URL         : https://metacpan.org/release/Email-MIME
Summary     : Easy MIME message parsing
Description :
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update, to the latest upstream release, addresses an excessive memory use
issue (CVE-2024-4140), which can cause denial of service when parsing multi-part
MIME messages; the fix is the new $MAX_PARTS configuration, which limits how
many parts will be considered for parsing, defaulting to 100.
