The following posting is closely related, although not quite the same.
A fix should address both.

Subject: SA 3.3.0 spamassassin taint issue 

I have not gotten this into the bugzilla, but ... as it appeas 
a 3.3 release is imminent, I though I should mention seeing 
this in my log files:

I am getting this:

Jan 20 18:17:40 vm049244181 spamd[14023]: spamd: Insecure dependency in chown 
while running with -T switch at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line 1934, <GEN16> line 
2.

which is:

       if (($< == 0) && ($> == 0) && defined($user)) { # chown  it
         my ($uid,$gid) = (getpwnam($user))[2,3];
         unless (chown($uid, $gid, $fname)) {
           warn "config: couldn't chown $fname to $uid:$gid for $user: $!\n";
         }


sort of a sketchy test for 'root' here also
