Name : spamassassin
Versions : fc1: spamassassin-2.63-0.2.1.legacy
Summary : Spam filter for email which can be invoked from mail
delivery agents.
Description :
SpamAssassin provides you with a way to reduce if not completely
eliminate Unsolicited Commercial Email (SPAM) from your incoming email.
It can be invoked by a MDA such as sendmail or postfix, or can be called
from a procmail script, .forward file, etc. It uses a genetic-algorithm
evolved scoring system to identify messages which look spammy, then
adds headers to the message so they can be filtered by the user's mail
reading software. This distribution includes the spamd/spamc components
which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
An updated spamassassin package that fixes a denial of service bug when parsing malformed messages is now available.
SpamAssassin provides a way to reduce unsolicited commercial email (SPAM) from incoming email.
A denial of service bug has been found in SpamAssassin versions below 2.64. A malicious attacker could construct a message in such a way that would cause spamassassin to stop responding, potentially preventing the delivery or filtering of email. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0796 to this issue.
Users of SpamAssassin should update to these updated packages which contain a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
