CVE-2020-28014
Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Execution with Unnecessary Privileges.
MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.94%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Exim 4 before 4.94.2 allows Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. The -oP option is available to the exim user, and allows a denial of service because root-owned files can be overwritten.
