Security Advisories
CVE-2002-1271
The Mail::Mailer Perl module in the perl-MailTools package 1.47 and earlier uses mailx as the default mailer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by inserting them into the mail body, which is then processed by mailx.

Kwalitee Issues
- has_meta_yml
-
Add a META.yml to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.
- use_strict
-
Add 'use strict' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules are strictly written.
Error: Mail::Mailer::mail, Mail::Mailer::qmail, Mail::Mailer::rfc822, Mail::Mailer::sendmail, Mail::Mailer::smtp, Mail::Mailer::test
- prereq_matches_use
-
List all used modules in META.yml requires
Error:
- Date::Format
- Date::Parse
- main_module_version_matches_dist_version
-
Make sure that the main module name and version are the same of the distribution.
- has_meta_json
-
Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.
- proper_libs
-
Move your *.pm files in a directory named 'lib'. The directory structure should look like 'lib/Your/Module.pm' for a module named 'Your::Module'. If you need to provide additional files, e.g. for testing, that should not be considered for Kwalitee, then you should look at the 'provides' map in META.yml to limit the files scanned; or use the 'no_index' map to exclude parts of the distribution.
Error: Mail/Address.pm, Mail/Cap.pm, Mail/Field.pm, Mail/Field/AddrList.pm, Mail/Field/Date.pm, Mail/Filter.pm, Mail/Header.pm, Mail/Internet.pm, Mail/Mailer.pm, Mail/Mailer/mail.pm, Mail/Mailer/qmail.pm, Mail/Mailer/rfc822.pm, Mail/Mailer/sendmail.pm, Mail/Mailer/smtp.pm, Mail/Mailer/test.pm, Mail/Send.pm, Mail/Util.pm
- meta_yml_has_license
-
Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31.
- use_warnings
-
Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.
Error: Mail::Address, Mail::Cap, Mail::Field, Mail::Field::AddrList, Mail::Field::Date, Mail::Filter, Mail::Header, Mail::Internet, Mail::Mailer, Mail::Mailer::mail, Mail::Mailer::qmail, Mail::Mailer::rfc822, Mail::Mailer::sendmail, Mail::Mailer::smtp, Mail::Mailer::test, Mail::Send, Mail::Util
- has_separate_license_file
-
This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
