-CVE ID: CVE-2019-13917
-OVE ID: OVE-20190718-0006
-Date: 2019-07-18
-Credits: Jeremy Harris
-Version(s): 4.85 up to and including 4.92
-Issue: A local or remote attacker can execute programs with root
- privileges - if you've an unusual configuration. See below.
-
-Conditions to be vulnerable
-===========================
-
-If your configuration uses the ${sort } expansion for items that can be
-controlled by an attacker (e.g. $local_part, $domain). The default
-config, as shipped by the Exim developers, does not contain ${sort }.
-
-Details
-=======
-
-The vulnerability is exploitable either remotely or locally and could
-be used to execute other programs with root privilege. The ${sort }
-expansion re-evaluates its items.
-
-Mitigation
-==========
-
-Do not use ${sort } in your configuration.
-
-Fix
-===
-
-Download and build a fixed version:
-
- Tarballs: http://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/
- Git: https://github.com/Exim/exim.git
- - tag exim-4.92.1
- - branch exim-4.92+fixes
-
-The tagged commit is the officially released version. The +fixes branch
-isn't officially maintained, but contains useful patches *and* the
-security fix.
-
-If you can't install the above versions, ask your package maintainer for
-a version containing the backported fix. On request and depending on our
-resources we will support you in backporting the fix. (Please note,
-that Exim project officially doesn't support versions prior the current
-stable version.)

+ Thu Jul 25 10:00:00 UTC 2019
+
+Contact: exim-security@exim.org
+
+This is a *heads-up* notice about the upcoming release.
+You may plan your availability and schedule an update of the Exim
+packages supplied by your distribution or build the new release from the
+source, once the release goes public on CRD.
+
+Details
+=======
+
+We discovered a vulnerability. We consider the risk of an exploit as
+low, you need to have a fairly unusual runtime configuration. Neither
+our default runtime configuration nor the runtime configuration shipped
+by the Debian distribution is vulnerable.
+
+The vulnerability is exploitable either remotely or locally and could
+be used to execute other programs with root privilege.
+
+More details and fixes are not yet public, but will be made public on
+CRD, July 25th.
