<background>
<p>Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of
Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>Exim supports the use of multiple “-p” command line arguments
causing a memory leak. This could lead to a stack-clash in user-space and
as result the attacker can, “clash” or “smash” the stack or
another memory region, or “jump” over the stack guard-page.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A local attacker could obtain root privileges.</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Exim users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-mta/exim-4.89-r1"
</code>
</resolution>
