According to
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-announce&m=111886630726077&w=2 ,
SpamAssassin (versions 3.0.1-3.0.3) seems to be vulnerable to DoS attacks with
certain misformatted long message headers causing sa to take a long time. I
don't know the "correct" procedure, but shouldn't the old version of sa be
marked hard-masked now?

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:




This might be somehow related to bug #95492, though I'm not sure about that.
