Zerons and Qualys discovered that a buffer overflow triggerable in the TLS negotiation code of the Exim mail transport agent could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 4.80-7+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim4 packages.
