CVE-2005-3351
SpamAssassin 3.0.4 allows attackers to bypass spam detection via an e-mail with a large number of recipients ("To" addresses), which triggers a bus error in Perl.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (7.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
