Description
Updated perl-Email-Address package fixes security vulnerability: The parse function in Email::Address module before 1.905 for Perl uses an inefficient regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an empty quoted string in an RFC 2822 address (CVE-2014-0477). The Email::Address module before 1.904 for Perl uses an inefficient regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via vectors related to "backtracking into the phrase" (CVE-2014-4720).
