Issue/Introduction

ASM OPMS - Vulnerability identified for EXIM. Our vulnerability team identified a vulnerability with EXIM4 (Exim: Failure to reset function pointer after BDAT error (CVE-2020-28019). Exim 4 before 4.94.2 has Improper Initialization that can lead to recursion-based stack consumption or other consequences. This occurs because use of certain getc functions is mishandled when a client uses BDAT instead of DATA.

Can you let us know if there is a plan to upgrade EXIM for OPMS ?

Environment

Release : SAAS

Component : CA APP SYNTHETIC MONITOR (WATCHMOUSE)

Resolution

Please remove the entire exim package. It is no longer needed. It will be removed completely in a new OPMS release.

Remove command will be something like: 

sudo yum remove exim4
rpm -e exim
