A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in Exim’s internal string_vformat() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the mail server running Exim.
(CVE-2010-4344)

Note: successful exploitation would allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as root on a Scientific Linux 4 or 5 system that is running the Exim mail server. An exploit for this issue is known to exist.

After installing this update, the Exim daemon will be restarted automatically.
