New Revision: 491756
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/491756

Log:
  Document vulnerability addressed by release 0.06 of p5-Email-Address-List
  
  Unfortunately there is very little real description of the
  vulnerability available, other than what is in the changelog.  Even
  the CVE number only leads to a page saying the number is reserved.
