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 (CPU consumption) via an empty quoted string

The Email::Address module before 1.904 for Perl uses an inefficient
regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
