Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for spamassassin.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the spamassassin-3.4.6-5.el9 build changelog.

- In Apache SpamAssassin before 3.4.5, malicious rule configuration (.cf) files can be configured to run system commands without any output or errors. With this, exploits can be injected in a number of scenarios. In addition to upgrading to SA version 3.4.5, users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted places. (CVE-2020-1946)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream spamassassin package.
