Description

Exim through 4.97.1 misparses a multiline RFC 2231 header filename, and thus remote attackers can bypass a $mime_filename extension-blocking protection mechanism, and potentially deliver executable attachments to the mailboxes of end users.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-exim4
  • ubuntu-upgrade-exim4-base
  • ubuntu-upgrade-eximon4
