Exim EHLO/HELO Remote Heap Corruption Vulnerability

A heap corruption vulnerability has been discovered in Exim. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when handling user-supplied SMTP EHLO/HELO data. As a result, it may be possible to overrun the bounds of a heap memory buffer. Although it is believed to be unlikely, this could theoretically be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of Exim. It may also be possible to trigger a denial of service condition.
