SpamAssassin is an extensible email filter used to identify junk
|
|
email. spamd is the daemonized version of SpamAssassin.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When spamd is run with both the "--vpopmail" (-v) and
|
|
"--paranoid" (-P) options, it is vulnerable to an unspecified issue.
|
|

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
With certain configuration options, a local or even remote
|
|
attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user
|
|
running spamd, which is root by default, by sending a crafted message
|
|
to the spamd daemon. Furthermore, the attack can be remotely
|
|
performed if the "--allowed-ips" (-A) option is present and specifies
|
|
non-local adresses. Note that Gentoo Linux is not vulnerable in the
|
|
default configuration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Don't use both the "--paranoid" (-P) and the "--vpopmail" (-v)
|
|
options.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All SpamAssassin users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/spamassassin-3.1.3"</code>
