Hi Axel and others,

In December 2012 exim released a security update for exim, version
4.80.1 This was addressed as a 'critical' update.

Could you update exim in atrpms? I tried to create an update RPM
package for exim using the source RPM, but failed to do so. I
think I have too little experience with it.

If I can help in any way, let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Jurgen.

Hello Jurgen and Скопенко
Андрей,

I wrote two emails to this list and one email directly to Axel
back in November about this critical security update for exim
which addresses a remote code execution flaw. However, I did not
receive any replies from any of my three emails. I don't know
what is going on, however, this is a very important update to exim
and should be addressed ASAP. Here is a copy of my last email to
this list which was sent on November 5, 2012:

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!

Gordon

So, I don't know what is going on but the silence in reply is
deafening. I even sent an email directly to Axel requesting that he
share his Local/Makefile along with any other tips so that I could
attempt to generate the RPM myself, however, he didn't reply to that
email either. In any event, based on my numerous queries without
replys, I am not optimistic about resolving this situation any time
soon. Hopefully, I am wrong and Axel or somebody else will reply
with at least a grunt or some kind of response....

Gordon
