"The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the USN-7373-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Exim incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use
    this issue to cause Exim to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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
