How to fix?

Upgrade exim/exim to version 4.94.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound. Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow because get_stdinput allows unbounded reads that are accompanied by unbounded increases in a certain size variable. NOTE: exploitation may be impractical because of the execution time needed to overflow (multiple days).
