rubygem-mail security update

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

A really Ruby Mail handler. Security Fix(es): Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input through `q_value_decode` and `b_value_decode` in `lib/mail/utilities.rb`. An attacker can make a display name or local part decode to a different address than intended by supplying a malformed RFC 2047 encoded-word, including one that embeds extra encoded-word markers or additional text. The decoders only matched the first encoded-word and used a greedy charset capture, so a crafted header could cause the parsed `From`, `To`, or `Reply-To` value to omit or reshuffle literal text. Applications that display, compare, or authorize based on the decoded address can then present or act on a spoofed sender or recipient address.(CVE-2026-63435)
