A flaw was found in Exim, a Mail Transport Agent (MTA). The STARTTLS feature in Exim allows response injection (buffering) during MTA SMTP sending. The program will fail with an appropriate error message if such a behavior is detected now.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.84.2-2+deb8u10.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.89-2+deb9u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim4 packages.
