[GLSA-200606-09] SpamAssassin: Execution of arbitrary code |
||
SpamAssassin: Execution of arbitrary code Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-09 (SpamAssassin: Execution of arbitrary code) When spamd is run with both the "--vpopmail" (-v) and "--paranoid" (-P) options, it is vulnerable to an unspecified issue. Impact 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 "--permited-ips" (-A) option is present and specifies non-local adresses. Note that Gentoo Linux is not vulnerable in the default configuration. Workaround Don't use both the "--paranoid" (-P) and the "--vpopmail" (-v) options.
