NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : spamassassin Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2019-0041)

high Nessus Plugin ID 127217

Language:

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has spamassassin packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A flaw was found in the way a local user on the SpamAssassin server could inject code in the meta rule syntax. This could cause the arbitrary code execution on the server when these rules are being processed.
 (CVE-2018-11781)

 - A flaw was found in the way SpamAssassin processes HTML email containing unclosed HTML tags. A carefully crafted mail message could cause SpamAssassin to consume significant resources. If a large number of these messages are sent, a denial of service could occur potentially delaying or preventing the delivery of email. (CVE-2017-15705)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL spamassassin packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
