Description Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-05 00:04:09 UTC 
Package        : exim exim-tls 
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow 
Problem-Type   : remote 
Debian-specific: no 
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0743 
 
A buffer overflow exists in exim, which is the standard mail transport 
agent in Debian.  By supplying a specially crafted HELO or EHLO 
command, an attacker could cause a constant string to be written past 
the end of a buffer allocated on the heap.  This vulnerability is not 
believed at this time to be exploitable to execute arbitrary code.
