e3a4e4748cd68f2fd685d0f69f6b2dbf2c95867f71a5d365a61fe7544703c801Ubuntu Security Notice 1060-1 - It was discovered that Exim contained a design flaw in the way it processed alternate configuration files. An attacker that obtained privileges of the "Debian-exim" user could use an alternate configuration file to obtain root privileges. It was discovered that Exim incorrectly handled certain return values when handling logging. A local attacker could use this flaw to obtain root privileges. Dan Rosenberg discovered that Exim incorrectly handled writable sticky-bit mail directories. If Exim were configured in this manner, a local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 9.10, and 10.04 LTS. Dan Rosenberg discovered that Exim incorrectly handled MBX locking. If Exim were configured in this manner, a local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 9.10, and 10.04 LTS.
ddedee4f97df5235f57efc58f31271973887b9faebda73310424f883607b7dccIt has come to the attention of The Exim Maintainers that there is an exploit circulating in the wild which affects versions of Exim versions 4.69 and below. The flaw permits remote code execution over SMTP and, when combined with some clever abuse of Exim's configuration, escalation to root privileges from the Exim run-time user.
