Exim Privilege Escalation in 4.69-23

Rate this post

The cPanel security team found an issue in Exim that can potentially allow a user on the system to potentially run commands as the root user. Luckily, cPanel has already released a patch which is available for immediate download via their Exim upgrade script. If your system is set to update cPanel automatically, you may already have the patch. To verify, run:

rpm -qa |grep -i exim

The version should be at least 4.69-25 – if it’s not, you need to upgrade. You can simply run:

/scripts/eximup
