Re: Exim 4.80.1 Critical Security Release

It was recently discovered that certain
Exim versions were not properly
handling the decoding of DNS records for DKIM. Specifically
crafted
records can yield a heap-based buffer overflow where an attacker
can
exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code. All of the Exim RPMs
that ATrpms.net currently has posted include this security flaw.

Are there any plans to update Exim anytime soon to address this
security flaw? Specifically, are there any plans to post Exim
4.80.1 RPMs any time soon?

Many thanks in advance for your reply!

remote code execution flaw in Exim versions between 4.70 and
4.80 inclusive.

The release announcement is here:

I hope that the atrpms folks will be able to post new Exim rpm
files soon.

Thanks!
