CVE-2018-12558 (2018-06-19)

The parse() method in the Email::Address module through 1.909 for Perl is vulnerable to Algorithmic complexity on specially prepared input, leading to Denial of Service. Prepared special input that caused this problem contained 30 form-field characters ("\f").

Changes for version 1.906 - 2015-02-03

  • the test suite tests parses more directly, which eliminates a number of misleading (and possibly wrong) test cases
  • escaped characters in a quoted string are now properly unescaped for the ->phrase method, which means things should round trip better from their decomposed form
