Description
Certain versions of Exim contain buffer overflows that are remotely exploitable when the 'headers_check_syntax' or 'require verify = header_syntax' options are used. As a result, a remote attacker could potentially gain control of the Exim daemon and assume its privilege level on the affected machine.
