The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'spamassassin' package(s) announced via the DLA-2037-1 advisory. Two vulnerabilities were discovered in spamassassin, a Perl-based spam filter, which could allow the execution of arbitrary commands and result in denial of service. It is recommended to upgrade the spamassassin packages to version 3.4.2-0+deb8u2 or higher

CVE-2018-11805

Malicious rule or configuration files, possibly downloaded from an updates server, could execute arbitrary commands under multiple scenarios.

CVE-2019-12420

Specially crafted multipart messages can cause spamassassin to use excessive resources, resulting in a denial of service.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 3.4.2-0+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your spamassassin packages.
