Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Exim, the worst of which
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) designed to be a a highly
configurable, drop-in replacement for sendmail.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 mail-mta/exim < 4.94.2 >= 4.94.2

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Exim. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by connecting to the SMTP listener daemon, could
possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or
cause a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a local attacker
could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the
privileges of the user running the application or escalate privileges.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Exim users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-mta/exim-4.94.2"
