Description Michael Metz 2004-08-05 21:05:28 UTC
Release of new Upstream-Version 2.64

Summary of major changes since 2.63
- -----------------------------------
  - Security fix prevents a denial of service attack open to certain
    malformed messages; this DoS affects all SpamAssassin 2.5x
    and 2.6x versions to date.
  - Backported several very reliable rules from the SpamAssassin 3.0.0
    codebase.

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2004-08-06 16:53:07 UTC
This issue should also affect FC1.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2004-08-06 17:34:54 UTC
BTW, the path from Source0 in the spec file also should be also 
updated, the tar.bz2 is located in another location as it was at 
times of for e.g. 2.63-8...

Comment 3 Matthew Miller 2005-04-11 22:21:11 UTC
[Bulk move of FC2 bugs to Fedora Legacy. See
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-April/msg00020.html>.]

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2005-04-12 04:52:07 UTC
Looks like bug #152851 was just done for this for earlier Fedora
Legacy-supported releases. In that case, looks like backporting was opted for
instead of updating to 2.64.

Comment 5 Warren Togami 2005-04-12 05:06:34 UTC
That is only because RHEL3's spamassassin-2.55 has an incompatible database
format with 2.6x, which is not pretty in the case of an automatic update.  FC2
doesn't have this problem to go from 2.63 to 2.64.

Comment 6 Matthew Miller 2005-04-12 05:17:34 UTC
But it looks like the FC1 update was just for 2.63. But maybe I'm just
bugzilla'd out for the night. :)

Comment 7 Warren Togami 2005-04-12 05:35:48 UTC
Oops, I should have actually read your bug.  Anyway 2.64 should be no problem to
auto-upgrade from 2.63.
