Two vulnerabilities were discovered in spamassassin, a Perl-based spam filter using text analysis.

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

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