[Bug 6170] New: large unicode email nails CPU
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6170
Summary: large unicode email nails CPU
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P5
Component: Libraries
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: jhaar@trimble.co.nz
Hi there
We're got a few people subscribed to Serbian mailing-lists, and one in
particular is having difficulty getting email to us - spamc/spamd times out and
is never able to process the message. While it is running, spamd takes 100% of
the CPU for 1.5+minute (so does spamassassin when run on the same message)
Here's an example: http://pastebin.com/m75f39d72
strace shows spamd running around looking for unicore/lib/gc_sc files - which
is related to unicode "stuff". I don't know if that's the problem - but that's
all I could find. "spamassassin -D " doesn't show anything strange other than
massively long times to process DNSBLs. They are not believable: the "slow"
DNSBLs change from invocation to invocation (of the same message), and "dig"
shows no such issues - the DNSBLs SA says are taking 99sec to complete return
instantly via dig (and yes, local caching DNS). Also, it is specifically a
problem with these emails - in general we are not seeing any problems with any
other email.
We've also got SA in several countries, all on CentOS5 servers
(perl-5.8.8,spamassassin-3.2.5-1) and they all show the same symptoms - so I
don't think it's network related but rather CPU: basically these emails nail SA
and it's slow to finish for them?

Documentation seems to recommend not using spamassassin to scan mail larger
than a certain size that you configure for reasons like this, and it is a lot
less likely that huge mail will be spam.

The default size limit with spamc is 500 kB.
Unfortunately, the sample is in no way 'large', even though typical spam is
smaller. It's a meager 160 kB, which should be perfectly fine.
Adjusting Summary.

The sample is no longer available to review at Pastebin. Closing as unfixable
without a sample.
