This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Exim.

The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the service account.\n.
