Mageia 2021-0078: perl-Email-MIME and perl-Email-MIME-ContentType security update
Summary
Messages with too many tiny nested MIME parts can lead to memory exhaustion on split(), resulting in denial of service (rhbz#1835353) 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.
