Patch Confusion for Critical Exim Bug Puts Email Servers at Risk — Again

Posted by in category: futurism

The good news is, so far, no exploits appear to have been released for the latest vulnerabilities, says Dustin Childs, head of threat awareness for Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative.

“We have no indication regarding the potential exploitability of these bugs,” he says. “We are not aware of any active exploits using these bugs.”

Exim is the most popular mail transfer agent on the Internet, accounting for 59% — or 253,000 — of identifiable mail servers on the Internet, according to a March 1 scan of MX servers. Postfix, another open source mail transfer agent, is the second most popular, with 149,000 detectable installations.
