It was discovered that Exim incorrectly handled certain decoding operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
