Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-39m8-27wv-hr27. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
Nodemailer from 3.0.0 before 10.0.10 contains a denial of service vulnerability in MessageParser.parseHeaders that allows users to exhaust CPU through quadratic header unfolding. Attackers can supply large recipient lists or long headers that fold into tens of thousands of continuation lines, blocking the Node.js event loop during DKIM signing.
