eml_parser vulnerable to DoS via deeply nested parens in Received headers

Summaryemlparser strips parenthesised CFWS comments from Received: headers using a regex-based fix-point loop. The loop has quadratic time complexity in the number of nested parens. A single Received: header containing 5,000 nested parens causes 1.3 seconds of CPU saturation per parsed message;...

Excessively Deep Nesting

Overview eml-parser is a Python EML parser library Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Excessively Deep Nesting through the processing of deeply nested parentheses in Received headers. An attacker can cause excessive CPU consumption by submitting specially crafted EML files with a...
