Hi,

BUGTRAQ just reported a format string vulnerability in Exim (version
unspecified) which crops up if you have the headers_check_syntax
option enabled in exim.conf.  Most Exim installations do NOT have this
option enabled by default and hence are secure (from this bug at
least).

Please disable the option if you have it enabled until a new Exim
package is available.

Regards,
