New critical Exim mailer flaw allows remote code execution
By Bill Toulas
AI Summary
A critical RCE vulnerability was disclosed in Exim, the widely deployed open-source mail transfer agent, exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers in certain configurations. Exim powers a large share of internet-facing mail servers, and past critical Exim flaws (e.g., CVE-2019-10149) have been rapidly weaponized by threat actors including nation-state groups. Administrators running vulnerable Exim configurations should prioritize patching immediately given the exposure of internet-facing mail infrastructure.
