Does anyone know if this effects the Mail::SpamAssassin perl
libraries when used with amavisd-new?

The bug described in
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=104342896818777&w=2
is in the C code of the spamc program.
It is not in the Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module.

Amavisd-new ( http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ ) calls
Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module directly, and does not use spamc/spamd.
It is unaffected by this bug.

Regards
   Mark
