RHBA-2013:1336 - spamassassin bug fix update

Synopsis

spamassassin bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated spamassassin packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

SpamAssassin provides a way to reduce unsolicited commercial email (spam) from incoming email.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • The rules using the "rawbody" test did not always return a match because SpamAssassin split the raw data into 1-2kB size parts. With this update, a note has been added to the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf documentation, addressing the limitations resulting from this bug. (BZ#892348)

  • Previously, a bug in the parser used the wrong data to detect URLs between HTML tags. As a consequence, SpamAssassin did not always detect HTTP(S) URL multiline mismatches in email messages. This bug is now fixed and SpamAssassin properly detects multiline mismatches. (BZ#892350)

Users of spamassassin are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
