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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
