Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-01-06 20:53:27 UTC 
CVE-2023-51766:

Exim before 4.97.1 allows SMTP smuggling in certain PIPELINING/CHUNKING configurations. Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF protection mechanism. This occurs because Exim supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other popular e-mail servers do not.

Indeed fixed in 4.97.1. Please stabilize.
