"The CentOS Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2025:1758796775 advisory.
- 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-2020-1930)
- 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.
(CVE-2020-1931)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
