Fedora 45 : perl-MIME-tools (2026-51fdfb7476)

high Nessus Plugin ID 376845

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 45 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-51fdfb7476 advisory.

 This is a cumulative bug-fix update, including multiple security fixes.

 Note that there is a change to some defaults: `max_parts` is now set to 1000 and `max_depth` to 64 rather than being unlimited; this should not affect most real-world uses of `MIME::tools`, but you may need to increase these values or set them to -1 (unlimited) if you run into trouble.



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected perl-MIME-tools package.
