DSA-637-1 exim-tls Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Philip Hazel announced a buffer overflow in the host_aton function in exim-tls, the SSL-enabled version of the default mail-transport-agent in Debian, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code via an illegal IPv6 address. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.35-3woody3. In the unstable distribution (sid) this package does not exist anymore. We recommend that you upgrade your exim-tls package.
