Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-192 - 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 via an empty quoted string in an RFC 2822 address. The Email::Address module before 1.904 for Perl uses an inefficient regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to backtracking into the phrase.
