Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-12-24 00:00 – Updated: 2025-11-04 18:21
VLAI
Summary
Exim before 4.97.1 allows SMTP smuggling in certain PIPELINING/CHUNKING configurations. Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF protection mechanism. This occurs because Exim supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other popular e-mail servers do not.
Severity
