Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for amavisd-new
Description of the patch: This update for amavisd-new fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed: - CVE-2016-1238: Workedaround a perl vulnerability by removing a trailing dot element from @INC (bsc#987887). Other issues addressed: - update to version 2.11.1 (bsc#1123389). - amavis-services: bumping up syslog level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_ERR for a message 'PID <pid> went away', and removed redundant newlines from some log messages - avoid warning messages 'Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry' in Encode::MIME::Header when the $check argument is undefined - @sa_userconf_maps has been extended to allow loading of per-recipient (or per-policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration set from LDAP. For consistency with SQL a @sa_userconf_maps entry prefixed with 'ldap:' will load SpamAssassin configuration set using the load_scoreonly_ldap() method. - add some Sanesecurity.Foxhole false positives to the default list @virus_name_to_spam_score_maps - update amavis-milter to version 2.6.1: * Fixed a bug when creating amavisd-new policy bank names This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
