Debian Security Advisory DSA 501-1 (exim) addresses two stack-based buffer overflows in exim 3 and exim 4, which can lead to buffer overflow during sender verification and header check. Upgrade exim to version 3.35-1woody3 for woody and version 3.36-11 for exim 3 and 4.33-1 for exim 4 for sid to fix these issues

tag_insight = "Georgi Guninski discovered two stack-based buffer overflows.  They can
not be exploited with the default configuration from the Debian
system, though.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update:

CVE-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.

CVE-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.";
