It was discovered that Exim, Debian’s default mail transfer agent, is vulnerable to command injection attacks in its DKIM processing code, leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1407 )

The default configuration supplied by Debian does not expose this vulnerability.

The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem.
