An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-4720 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4720/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4720/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4720","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4720/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4720","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-4720","GHSA-6jmv-rp6j-xp29"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl Email Address library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via CPU consumption in the Perl Email::Address module due to inefficient regular expressions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"\\","vendor":"email\\"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4720","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4721"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4719"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-07-06","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12558","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0477","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via CPU consumption in the Perl Email::Address module due to inefficient regular expressions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4720/"}
