Details about builds:


================================================================================
 bitlbee-1.2.5-1.el4 (FEDORA-EPEL-2010-2471)
 IRC to other chat networks gateway
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- Many bug fixes, including a fix for MSN login issues, Jabber login timing
issues, Yahoo! crashes at login time with huge contact lists,  - Avoid linking
in a static version of libresolv now that glibc has all relevant functions
available in the dynamic version.  - Improved away state code and added the
ability to set (non-away) status messages using "set status" (also possible per
account) and see them in blist and /whois output.  - Added a post-1.2 equivalent
of encode/decode to quickly encrypt/decrypt passwords in a way that BitlBee can
read them.  - Allow using the full name for generating nicknames, instead of
just the handle. This is especially useful when using the Facebook XMPP server.
- Auto reconnect is now enabled by default since all protocols can properly
detect cases where auto reconnect should be avoided (i.e. concurrent logins).  -
Changed the default resource_select setting which should reduce message routing
issues on Jabber (i.e. messages going someone's phone instead of the main
client).

================================================================================
 spamass-milter-0.3.1-17.el4 (FEDORA-EPEL-2010-2473)
 Milter (mail filter) for spamassassin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes a fix for a problem where if the milter is running using
the "-x" option to expand aliases before passing inbound mail through
SpamAssassin, a malicious client using a carefully-crafted SMTP session could
execute arbitrary code on the mail server. The fix avoids the use of a shell in
the alias expansion and hence there is no longer a problem with having to
sanitize input from the client.    No CVE number has yet been assigned to this
problem, which is tracked upstream at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?29136
The update also contains a fix for a problem where the milter would erroneously
log warnings about the mail server's configuration when the first message from a
non-authenticated client passed through. As part of the fix for this issue, the
required milter macro configuration for the mail server has changed slightly:
see the README file included in the package for details.
