6 Issue: Possible MitM attack on STARTTLS when Exim is *sending* email.
9 Conditions to be vulnerable
10 ===========================
12 Versions up to (and including) 4.94.2 are vulnerable when
13 *sending* emails via a connection encrypted via STARTTLS.
19 When Exim acting as a mail client wishes to send a message,
20 a Meddler-in-the-Middle (MitM) may respond to the STARTTLS command
21 by also sending a response to the *next* command, which Exim will
22 erroneously treat as a trusted response.

33 There is - beside updating the server - no known mitigation.
38 Download and build the fixed version 4.95 or a later version
