The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6939-1 advisory.

Phillip Szelat discovered that Exim misparses multiline MIME header filenames. A remote attacker could use     this issue to bypass a MIME filename extension-blocking protection mechanism and possibly deliver     executable attachments to the mailboxes of end users.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
