Fedora 31: FEDORA-2019-e080507ba5 Critical: Exim Buffer Overflow

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.

This is an update fixing CVE-2019-16928.
