Descriptions

Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. Because Exim operates as root in the log directory (owned by a non-root user), a symlink or hard link attack allows overwriting critical root-owned files anywhere on the filesystem.

Exim 4 versiones anteriores a 4.94.2, permite una Ejecución con Privilegios Innecesarios. Debido a que Exim opera como root en el directorio de registro (propiedad para un usuario no root), un ataque de enlace simbólico o físico permite sobrescribir archivos críticos de propiedad root en cualquier parte del sistema de archivos
