The ParseAddressList function incorrectly handles comments (text within parentheses) within display names.

HIGH 7.5EPSS 1.05%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.05%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The ParseAddressList function incorrectly handles comments (text within parentheses) within display names. Since this is a misalignment with conforming address parsers, it can result in different trust decisions being made by programs using different parsers.
