Several vulnerabilities have been found in exim4 that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as root user. Exploits for these issues have been seen in the wild.
This update fixes a memory corruption issue that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the Debian-exim user (CVE-2010-4344 ).
A fix for an additional issue that allows the Debian-exim user to obtain root privileges (CVE-2010-4345 ) is currently being checked for compatibility issues. It is not yet included in this upgrade but will released soon in an update to this advisory.
