- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : exim-tls
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0021
Debian Bug     : 289046

Philip Hazel announced a buffer overflow in the host_aton function in
exim-tls, the SSL-enabled version of the default mail-tranport-agent
in Debian, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code via an
illegal IPv6 address.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.35-3woody3.

In the unstable distribution (sid) this package does not exist
anymore.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim-tls package.
