"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0040 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2018-11805:
    In Apache SpamAssassin before 3.4.3, nefarious 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 3.4.3, we recommend that users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from
    trusted places.

    CVE-2019-12420:
    In Apache SpamAssassin before 3.4.3, a message can be crafted in a way to use excessive resources.
    Upgrading to SA 3.4.3 as soon as possible is the recommended fix but details will not be shared publicly.

    CVE-2020-1930:
    A command execution issue was found in Apache SpamAssassin prior to 3.4.3. Carefully crafted nefarious
    rule configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands similar to CVE-2018-11805. With
    this bug unpatched, exploits can be injected in a number of scenarios including the same privileges as
    spamd is run which may be elevated though doing so remotely is difficult. In addition to upgrading to SA
    3.4.4, we again recommend that users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted
    places. If you cannot upgrade, do not use 3rd party rulesets, do not use sa-compile and do not run spamd
    as an account with elevated privileges.

    CVE-2020-1931:
    A command execution issue was found in Apache SpamAssassin prior to 3.4.3. Carefully crafted nefarious
    Configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands similar to CVE-2018-11805. This issue
    is less stealthy and attempts to exploit the issue will throw warnings. Thanks to Damian Lukowski at
    credativ for reporting the issue ethically. With this bug unpatched, exploits can be injected in a number
    of scenarios though doing so remotely is difficult. In addition to upgrading to SA 3.4.4, we again
    recommend that users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted places.
