The remote host is missing an update for the 'exim4' package(s) announced via the USN-1032-1 advisory. It is affected on Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 9.10. Sergey Kononenko and Eugene Bujak discovered that Exim did not correctly truncate string expansions, leading to potential remote code execution and privilege escalation
