- Details
-
Multiple buffer overflows in Exim before 4.43 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) an IPv6 address with more than 8 components, as demonstrated using the -be command line option, which triggers an overflow in the hostaton function, or (2) the -bh command line option or dnsdb PTR lookup, which triggers an overflow in the dnsbuild_reverse function.
