CVE-2014-4720

Publication date 6 July 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0477.
