Description

In Apache SpamAssassin before 3.4.5, malicious rule configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands without any output or errors. With this, exploits can be injected in a number of scenarios. In addition to upgrading to SA version 3.4.5, users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted places. A flaw was found in spamassassin. Malicious rule configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands without any output or errors allowing exploits to be injected in a number of scenarios. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
