Descriptions

Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Heap-based Buffer Overflow because it mishandles "-F '.('" on the command line, and thus may allow privilege escalation from any user to root. This occurs because of the interpretation of negative sizes in strncpy.

Exim 4 versiones anteriores a 4.94.2, permite un Desbordamiento de Búfer en la Región Heap de la Memoria porque maneja inapropiadamente "-F '.('" en la línea de comando y, por lo tanto, puede permitir una escalada de privilegios de cualquier usuario a root. Esto ocurre debido a la interpretación de tamaños negativos en strncpy
