Uninitialized stack memory disclosure in Exim 4.88 through 4.99.3 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary stack memory contents by sending specially crafted short payloads to proxy-enabled SMTP listeners. The vulnerability is constrained to proxy configurations but requires no authentication and no user interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), making it trivially reachable against exposed instances. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, and a vendor-released fix is available in Exim 4.99.4.
Out-of-bounds read in Exim before 4.99.2 when UTF-8 operators are enabled allows remote unauthenticated attackers to leak sensitive information through error messages by sending email with malformed UTF-8 trailing characters in headers. The vulnerability has high attack complexity due to the requirement for UTF-8 operator enablement and specific malformed input crafting, but requires no user interaction and operates over the network on default deployments.
A use-after-free in Exim 4.96 through 4.98.1 could allow users (with command-line access) to escalate privileges. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.1), this vulnerability is no authentication required. No vendor patch available.
Exim mail server version 4.98 before 4.98.1 contains a remote SQL injection vulnerability when SQLite hints and ETRN serialization features are enabled. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject SQL through crafted SMTP commands, potentially compromising the mail server's configuration and queued messages.
Exim before 4.97.1 allows SMTP smuggling in certain PIPELINING/CHUNKING configurations. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.
A vulnerability was found in Exim and classified as problematic.c of the component DMARC Handler.
