Summary | 0016544: Update spamassassin | ||||
Description | Version 3.4.2 has been released: 2018-09-16: SpamAssassin 3.4.2 has been released! This release contains numerous tweaks and bug fixes over the past three and 1/2 years including: sa-update now uses SHA-256 & SHA-512 hashing to verify rule updates; 4 new plugins; and Four CVE security bug fixes: CVE-2017-15705, CVE-2016-1238, CVE-2018-11780 & CVE-2018-11781. But most importantly, there are checks (i.e. to increase spam score) that are only available in versions >= 3.4.1 so having such an outdated release in CentOS-7 is actually allowing spam to be under-scored. | ||||

FWIW, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/spamassassin/tree/master with this PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/spamassassin/pull-request/9 builds on EL7: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/brianjmurrell/epel-7/build/1048927/ | |
as you know that spamassassin is a pkg from upstream RHEL 7, maybe the request should be made upstream (so on bugzilla.redhat.com) so that when it enters upstream rhel, it will land automatically on centos | |
Yes, but as you know, RH typically only really pay attention to RHEL bug reports from RHEL subscribers. I was assuming there was some amount of relationship between CentOS and RH (now that RH owns CentOS) that would enable getting these kinds of updates upstream in a more responsive manner than reports from average-joe non-RHEL-subscribers. |
|
In any case, I have my update, in my COPR and it's working much better than 3.4.0. I just thought I would try to initiate some activity that would provide this benefit to the larger community rather than just solving it for myself. |
