MGASA-2014-0389 - Updated perl-Email-Address packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 26 Sep 2014
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0389.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 3, 4
CVE: CVE-2014-0477,
     CVE-2014-4720

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).
