Package: libmail-dkim-perl
Version: 0.44-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

The IETF recently published updated guidance on minimum RSA key sizes for use
with DKIM[1].  I decided to check in Debian to see what packages might need to
be updated as a result.  I've looked and I can't find where Mail::DKIM checks
key size at all.  This is a security concern since it allows trivially
factorable keys to produce apparently valid signatures (just last year I ran
into a consulting client with a 384 bit key that was surprised his DKIM wasn't
working very well anymore).

Note, I'm not a Perl person, so I may have missed it when I read the code.
Assuming I'm right though, while I'm not sure what the best approach to
resolve this is, but I do think it's concerning and needs to be fixed.
