3 Six 0day exploits were filed against Exim.
5 None of these issues is related to transport security (TLS) being
8 * 3 of them are related to SPA/NTLM, and EXTERNAL auth. If you do not
9 use SPA/NTLM, or EXTERNAL authentication, you're not affected. These
12 * One issue is related to data received from a proxy-protocol proxy. If
13 you do not use a proxy in front of Exim, you're not affected. If your
14 proxy is trustworthy, you're not affected. We're working on a fix.
16 * One is related to libspf2. If you do not use the `spf` lookup type or
17 the `spf` ACL condition, you are not affected.
19 * The last one is related to DNS lookups. If you use a trustworthy
20 resolver (which does validation of the data it receives), you're not
21 affected. We're working on a fix.
