CVE-2015-7686 (GCVE-0-2015-7686)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2015-10-03 10:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 07:58

Summary

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in Address.pm in the Email-Address module 1.908 and earlier for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted string containing a list of e-mail addresses in conjunction with parenthesis characters that can be associated with nested comments. NOTE: the default configuration in 1.908 mitigates this vulnerability but misparses certain realistic comments.
