-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-9506 2010-06-04 17:59:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : exim Product : Fedora 12 Version : 4.72 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://www.exim.org/ Summary : The exim mail transfer agent Description : Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are extensive facilities for checking incoming mail. Exim can be installed in place of sendmail, although the configuration of exim is quite different to that of sendmail. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes the following security flaws: * CVE-2010-2023 exim: hard-link following vulnerability in mailbox handling * CVE-2010-2024 exim: race condition when MBX locking is enabled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jun 3 2010 David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> - 4.72-1 - Update to 4.72 (fixes CVE-2010-2023, CVS-2010-2024) * Thu Mar 18 2010 Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@redhat.com> - 4.71-3 - follow guidelines for alternatives (#570800) - fix init script LSB compliance (#523238) - handle undefined NETWORKING in init script (#483528) * Tue Feb 9 2010 Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> 4.71-2 - Fix FTBFS with --no-add-needed * Thu Dec 24 2009 David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> - 4.69-20 - Update to 4.71 * Fri Dec 4 2009 Stepan Kasal <skasal@redhat.com> - 4.69-19 - rebuild against perl 5.10.1 * Mon Oct 5 2009 David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> - 4.69-18 - Fix typo in clamd %post (#527085) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #600093 - CVE-2010-2023 exim: hard-link following vulnerability in mailbox handling https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600093 [ 2 ] Bug #600097 - CVE-2010-2024 exim: race condition when MBX locking is enabled https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600097 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
