Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated spamassassin packages that update SpamAssassin from 3.1.9 to
3.2.4, adding several enhancements and fixing a number of bugs, are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
SpamAssassin provides a way to reduce unsolicited commercial email (spam)
from incoming email.
This updated package upgrades spam assassin to the 3.2.x branch, which adds
several enhancements, including:
- the active SpamAssassin ruleset is now compiled into a fast
parallel-matching deterministic finite automaton (DFA) that runs as native
object code.
- the 127.* network range is now always considered trusted and internal,
regardless of configuration.
- when using the same ruleset, the 3.2.x core code uses less RAM than the
3.1.x release.
The 3.2.4 release of the 3.2 branch is a major bug fix release, correcting
numerous bugs, including:
- the 'ALL' header was including spurious extra spaces between header names
and values. It no longer does this.
- 'score set for a non-existent rule' is now a debug message instead of a
lint warning.
- sa-compile failed to correctly deal with escaped backslashes.
Users of spamassassin are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
adds these enhancements and resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
