It was discovered that the Exim daemon did not correctly handle format strings in DKIM headers. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted email to run arbitrary code as the Exim user. The default compiler options for affected releases reduces the vulnerability to a denial of service under most conditions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
