A significant openSUSE enhancement for amavisd-new addresses a moderate security concern and enhances log management.
An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available.

Description

This update for amavisd-new fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

dot element from @INC (bsc#987887).

Other issues addressed:

- update to version 2.11.1 (bsc#1123389).

- amavis-services: bumping up syslog level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_ERR for

a message "PID went away", and removed redundant newlines from

some log messages

- avoid warning messages "Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry"

in Encode::MIME::Header when the $check argument is undefined

- @sa_userconf_maps has been extended to allow loading of per-recipient

(or per-policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration set from

LDAP. For consistency with SQL a @sa_userconf_maps entry prefixed with

'ldap:' will load SpamAssassin configuration set using the

load_scoreonly_ldap() method.

- add some Sanesecurity.Foxhole false positives to the default list
