It was discovered that Exim, the default mail transport agent in Debian, uses DKIM data obtain from DNS directly in a format string, potentially allowing malicious mail senders to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2011-1764 )

The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem because it does not contain DKIM support.
