+  <synopsis>
+    When the verify=header_syntax option is set, there is a buffer overflow in
+    Exim that allows remote execution of arbitrary code.

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

+    <p>
+    When the option "verify = header_syntax" is used in an ACL in the
+    configuration file, Exim is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack that can
+    be triggered remotely by sending malicious headers in an email message.
+    Note that this option is not enabled in Exim's default configuration file.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    This vulnerability can be exploited to trigger a denial of service attack
+    and potentially execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user used by
+    the Exim daemon (by default this is the "mail" user in Gentoo Linux).
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Make sure the verify=header_syntax option is not used in your exim.conf
+    file.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users of Exim should upgrade to the latest stable version:

+    # emerge "&gt;=mail-mta/exim-4.33-r1"</code>
