In short
Exim mail server has a use-after-free memory vulnerability that could let users with command-line access gain higher privileges on the system. This happens when the software tries to use memory that has already been freed, causing unpredictable behavior.
Technical detail
A use-after-free condition exists in Exim versions 4.96-4.98.1 where freed memory is accessed during execution, triggered by local command-line invocation. This memory safety issue enables privilege escalation for authenticated command-line users due to improper memory management during program flow.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
A use-after-free in Exim 4.96 through 4.98.1 could allow users (with command-line access) to escalate privileges.
