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

CVE-2018-11805

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

CVE-2019-12420

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

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.4.2-1~deb9u2.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.4.2-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your spamassassin packages.
