Package        : exim
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0021
Debian Bug     : 289046

Philip Hazel announced a buffer overflow in the host_aton function in
exim, the default mail-tranport-agent in Debian, which can lead to the
execution of arbitrary code via an illegal IPv6 address.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.35-1woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.36-13 of exim and 4.34-10 of exim4.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim and exim4 packages.
