No need for AV tools on Linux, eh?

For all of you with your touching faith that Linux is invulnerable I
offer up this message from the Spam Assassin list. This is an exploit
into a piece of software running with root privileges - in your email
system.

Vulnerable: SpamAssassin Milter Plugin SpamAssassin Milter Plugin 0.3.1

The rule is only looking for this:

content:"to|3A|"; depth:10; nocase; content:"+|3A|\"|7C|";

Personally, I would probably block it. Although, if we’re not seeing this
sort of thing pop up on customer’s boxes, a manual block in scanner2 is
sufficient for now, right?

Either way, let me know and I’ll block/unblock/leave alone.

is the snort rule specific enough that you can block the offending ip for 5
mins?

(if its a real smtp server, it will retry) and legit email through.

I don’t like the looks of this. I blocked that IP with samtool.
