Multiple potential security vulnerabilities have been addressed in exim4, a mail transport agent. These issues may allow remote attackers to disclose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code but only if Exim4 is run behind or with untrusted proxy servers or DNS resolvers. If your proxy-protocol proxy or DNS resolver are trustworthy, you are not affected.
