    It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled certain CF files. If a user or automated system
    were tricked into using a specially-crafted CF file, a remote attacker could possibly run arbitrary code.

    It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled certain messages. A remote attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause SpamAssassin to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
