Package        : exim4     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-39929     Debian Bug     : 1075785

Phillip Szelat discovered that Exim, a mail transport agent, does not     properly parse a multiline RFC 2231 header filename, allowing a remote     attacker to bypass a $mime_filename based extension-blocking protection     mechanism.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed     in version 4.94.2-7+deb11u3.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in     version 4.96-15+deb12u5.

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
