MDKSA-2006:103: spamassassin |

Check for the version of the spamassassin package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:103 (spamassassin). A flaw was discovered in the way that spamd processes the virtual POP usernames passed to it. If running with the --vpopmail and --paranoid flags, it is possible for a remote user with the ability to connect to the spamd daemon to execute arbitrary commands as the user running spamd. By default, the Spamassassin packages do not start spamd with either of these flags and this usage is uncommon. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
