Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56952
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:103 (spamassassin)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to spamassassin
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:103.

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.

Affected: 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
