+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #228586 +++
There is a DoS in apparantly all versions of spamassassin prior to
3.1.8 (which is not released yet). A carefully crafted message can
cause SpamAssassin to consume significant resources which could lead
to a DoS if an attacker sends many such messages:

Also affects RHEL4.

Discussion:
I presume this flaw affects RHEL3 as well. Is the plan to upgrade to
spamassassin 3.1.8, or to backport this fix?
---
It appears we lucked out. RHEL3 is not effected in such a dangerous way. Just
a slight delay, and no huge CPU or memory usage. I suspect we need not touch it
for this CVE. Will do further verification.
Upstream is releasing 3.1.8 to
