Synopsis
perl-HTML-Parser bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated perl-HTML-Parser package that fixes a bug and provides an
enhancement is now available.
Description
perl-HTML-Parser enables the parsing of HTML documents (web pages or
emails) by programs written in the Perl language.
This updated perl-HTML-Parser package makes parsing more compatible with
current HTML interpreters, such as web browsers and email clients, in cases
where several possible interpretations for certain tag combinations exist.
In addition, this updated package provides an enhancement by introducing
support for decoding Unicode entities in HTML.
Software which depends on perl-HTML-Parser, such as, most importantly, the
SpamAssassin mail filtering utility, a popular anti-spam solution, will
benefit from this enhancement to perl-HTML-Parser.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated perl-HTML-Parser package,
which resolves this issue and adds this enhancement.
