CAN-2004-0399
When 'sender_verify = true' is configured in exim.conf a buffer overflow can happen during verification of the sender. This problem is fixed in exim 4.
CAN-2004-0400
When headers_check_syntax is configured in exim.conf a buffer overflow can happen during the header check. This problem does also exist in exim 4.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.35-1woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.36-11 for exim 3 and in version 4.33-1 for exim 4.
We recommend that you upgrade your exim package.");
