Description

Exim 4 before 4.94.2 has Improper Initialization that can lead to recursion-based stack consumption or other consequences. This occurs because use of certain getc functions is mishandled when a client uses BDAT instead of DATA.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-exim4-base
  • ubuntu-upgrade-exim4-daemon-heavy
  • ubuntu-upgrade-exim4-daemon-light
