Name        : spamass-milter
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 0.3.1
Release     : 19.fc12
URL         : http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/
Summary     : Milter (mail filter) for spamassassin
Description :
A milter (Mail Filter) application that pipes incoming mail (including things
received by rmail/UUCP) through SpamAssassin, a highly customizable spam
filter. A milter-compatible MTA such as Sendmail or Postfix is required.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes a regression in the previous update for CVE-2010-1132 in which
child sendmail processes accumulated as zombies if the "-b" or "-x" options were
used, eventually leading to resource starvation and the milter rejecting mail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Mon Apr 19 2010 Paul Howarth <paul at city-fan.org> 0.3.1-19
- Fix patch for CVE-2010-1132 to not create a zombie process per email when
  the -x or -b options are used (#583523)
* Tue Mar 23 2010 Paul Howarth <paul at city-fan.org> 0.3.1-18
- Add patch to get rid of compiler warnings

* Fri Mar 12 2010 Paul Howarth <paul at city-fan.org> 0.3.1-17
- Update initscript to support running the milter as root, which is needed

  root by default
- Add patch for popen unsanitized input vulnerability
  (CVE-2010-1132, #572117, #572119, http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?29136)
