Description:

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.
