Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

MimeKit versions 3.0.0 up to 4.7.0 are vulnerable to denial of service through a vulnerable transitive dependency. The source gives few details on the flaw itself. An attacker could trigger it by sending S/MIME messages for decryption or verification, or by supplying third-party X.509 certificates for encrypting outgoing messages. Upgrade MimeKit to 4.7.1 or later.
