## Summary
16+
17+
Mail::Utilities.q_value_decode and Mail::Utilities.b_value_decode
18+
decoded only the first RFC 2047 encoded-word in a string and used
19+
an overly greedy pattern to match the charset token. A crafted,
20+
malformed encoded-word embedded in an address display name or local
21+
part could cause the decoded output to differ from what a human
22+
reviewer or downstream parser would expect, allowing an attacker
23+
to spoof the apparent sender/recipient address.
