It was discovered [1] that there's a denial of service vulnerability in
Email::Address, a Perl module for RFC 2822 address parsing and
creation[2]. Email::Address::parse uses significant time on parsing
empty quoted string, as allowed by RFC 2822.

Suggested fix was applied upstream as [3]
contained in a new upstream version 1.905[4] which contain additional
commits to avoid slowdowns.
