Details
It was discovered that SpamAssassin incorrectly handled certain CF files.
If a user or automated system were tricked into using a specially-crafted
CF file, a remote attacker could possibly run arbitrary code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 19.10
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
