Debian Security Advisory DSA 1090-1 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
June 6th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : spamassassin
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-2447
A vulnerability has been discoverd in SpamAssassin, a Perl-based spam
filter using text analysis, that can allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary commands. This problem only affects systems where spamd is
reachable via the internet and used with vpopmail virtual users, via
the "-v" / "--vpopmail" switch, and with the "-P" / "--paranoid"
switch which is not the default setting on Debian.
The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0.3-2sarge1.
For the volatile archive for the stable distribution (sarge) this
problem has been fixed in version 3.1.0a-0volatile3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.1.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your spamd package.
