Fedora 31 : perl-Email-MIME / perl-Email-MIME-ContentType (2020-39d40d9ae9)

high Nessus Plugin ID 137110

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update limits the number of nested MIME parts to 10 (by default), to avoid a possible memory exhaustion issue with lots of tiny MIME parts.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected perl-Email-MIME and / or perl-Email-MIME-ContentType packages.
