+  <title>Exim: Two buffer overflows</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Buffer overflow vulnerabilities, which could lead to arbitrary code
+    execution, have been found in the handling of IPv6 addresses as well as in
+    the SPA authentication mechanism in Exim.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Exim is an highly configurable message transfer agent (MTA)
+    developed at the University of Cambridge.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Buffer overflows have been found in the host_aton() function
+    (CAN-2005-0021) as well as in the spa_base64_to_bits() function
+    (CAN-2005-0022), which is part of the SPA authentication code.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could trigger the buffer overflow in host_aton()
+    by supplying an illegal IPv6 address with more than 8 components, using
+    a command line option. The second vulnerability could be remotely
+    exploited during SPA authentication, if it is enabled on the server.
+    Both buffer overflows can potentially lead to the execution of
+    arbitrary code.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Exim users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-mta/exim-4.43-r2"</code>
+  </resolution>
