Network-reachable and pre-authentication (AV:N/PR:N), but AC:H because it needs the GnuTLS backend plus non-default TLS settings; use-after-free yields a crash so A:L, C/I:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

Exim before 4.100.1, when certain non-default TLS settings are used with GnuTLS, has a use-after-free.

AnalysisAI

A use-after-free memory-safety flaw in Exim before 4.100.1 can crash the mail transfer agent process when the daemon is compiled against the GnuTLS TLS backend and configured with certain non-default TLS settings; once a vulnerable server is reachable over the network, no authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) is required, but the CVSS vector reflects high attack complexity (AC:H) because the triggering configuration is unusual and non-default. The assessed impact is availability-only (C:N/I:N/A:L) - a crash or degraded service rather than code execution or data exposure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires Exim (before 4.100.1) built against the GnuTLS TLS library AND configured with certain non-default TLS settings - the flaw does not affect the OpenSSL backend or default TLS configurations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite affecting an extremely widely-deployed product. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade Exim to version 4.100.1 or later, the first release in which this use-after-free is addressed; see the vendor advisory at https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20260918.121220.0f87338e.en.html for the exact fixed build and any packaging guidance. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
