    It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled certain unclosed tags in emails. A remote attacker
    could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-15705)

    It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled the PDFInfo plugin. A remote attacker could
    possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11780)

    It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled meta rule syntax. A local attacker could possibly
    use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11781)
