mail transport agent, which could result in local privilege escalation
and remote code execution.

Details can be found in the Qualys advisory at
https://www.qualys.com/2021/05/04/21nails/21nails.txt

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
4.89-2+deb9u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim4 packages.

For the detailed security status of exim4 please refer to its security
tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/exim4

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
