Package : spamassassin
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-2447
A vulnerability has been discoverd in SpamAssassin, a Perl-based
spam filter using text analysis, that can allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary commands. This problem only affects systems where
spamd is reachable via the internet and used with vpopmail virtual
users, via the “-v” / “–vpopmail” switch, and with the “-P” /
“–paranoid” switch which is not the default setting on Debian.
The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this
problem.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed
in version 3.0.3-2sarge1.
For the volatile archive for the stable distribution (sarge)
this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.0a-0volatile3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 3.1.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your spamd package.
Upgrade Instructions
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given at the end of this advisory:
apt-get update
will update the internal database apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:095
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
Package : libtiff
Date : June 5, 2006
Affected: 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
Problem Description:
A stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in
libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier might might allow attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a long filename.
NOTE: tiffsplit is not setuid, and there may not be a common
scenario under which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled
command line arguments.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this
issue.

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: spamassassin security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0543-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0543.html
Issue date: 2006-06-06
Updated on: 2006-06-06
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2006-2447
1. Summary:
Updated spamassassin packages that fix an arbitrary code
execution flaw are now available.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by
the Red Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 – i386, ia64, ppc, s390,
s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 – i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 – i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 – i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
SpamAssassin provides a way to reduce unsolicited commercial
email (SPAM) from incoming email.
A flaw was found with the way the Spamassassin spamd daemon
processes the virtual pop username passed to it. If a site is
running spamd with both the – –vpopmail and –paranoid flags, it
is possible for a remote user with the ability to connect to the
spamd daemon to execute arbitrary commands as the user running the
spamd daemon. (CVE-2006-2447)
Note: None of the IMAP or POP servers shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 support vpopmail delivery. Running spamd with
the –vpopmail and – –paranoid flags is uncommon and not the
default startup option as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.
Spamassassin, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, performs
RBL lookups against visi.com to help determine if an email is spam.
However, this DNS RBL has recently disappeared, resulting in mail
filtering delays and timeouts.
Users of SpamAssassin should upgrade to these updated packages
containing version 3.0.6 and backported patches, which are not
vulnerable to these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following
command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
178580 – /etc/sysconfig/spamassasin loses file context and
timestamp 191033 – spamassassin looks up broken NS domain
(visi.com) 193865 – CVE-2006-2447 spamassassin arbitrary command
execution
