Content
This bug is similar to #16037 and a modified copy of #16038. The poplib module doesn't limit the amount of read data in its call to readline(). An erroneous or malicious POP3 server can trick the poplib module to consume large amounts of memory. Suggestion: The poplib module should be modified to use limited readline() with _MAXLINE like the httplib module.
