| CVE | Summary | Source | Max CVSS | EPSS % | Published | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-48840 | Exim 4.88 before 4.99.4, in some proxy configurations, mishandles certain short payloads, leading to disclosure of uninitialized stack memory values to a client. | [email protected] | 5.3 | 0.05% | 2026-05-30 | 2026-06-05 |
| CVE-2026-45185 | Exim before 4.99.3, in certain GnuTLS configurations, has a remotely reachable use-after-free in the BDAT body parsing path. It is triggered when a client sends a TLS close_notify mid-body during a CHUNKING transfer, followed by a final cleartext byte on the same TCP connection. This can lead to heap corruption. An unauthenticated network attacker exploiting this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code. | [email protected] | 9.8 | 0.06% | 2026-05-12 | 2026-05-28 |
| CVE-2026-40687 | In Exim before 4.99.2, when the SPA authentication driver is used with an adversarial SPA resource, there can be an out-of-bounds write that crashes the connection instance, or erroneous data processing that divulges data from uninitialized heap memory. | [email protected] | 4.8 | 0.17% | 2026-04-30 | 2026-05-01 |
| CVE-2026-40686 | In Exim before 4.99.2, when utf8 operators are enabled, there is an out-of-bounds read if large UTF-8 trailing characters are present (malformed UTF-8 header data). Information might be divulged within an error message produced during handling of an unrelated e-mail message. | [email protected] | 3.7 | 0.07% | 2026-04-30 | 2026-05-01 |
| CVE-2026-40685 | In Exim before 4.99.2, when JSON lookup is enabled, an out-of-bounds heap write can occur when a JSON operator encounters malformed JSON in an untrusted header, because of an incorrect implementation of \ skipping. | [email protected] | 6.5 | 0.05% | 2026-04-30 | 2026-05-01 |
| CVE-2026-40684 | In Exim before 4.99.2, on systems using musl libc (not glibc), an attacker can crash the connection instance when malformed DNS data is present in PTR records. This is caused by a dn_expand oddity in octal printing. | [email protected] | 5.9 | 0.17% | 2026-04-30 | 2026-05-01 |
| CVE-2025-67896 | Exim before 4.99.1, with certain non-default rate-limit configurations, allows a remote heap-based buffer overflow because database records are cast directly to internal structures without validation. | [email protected] | 7.0 | 0.06% | 2025-12-14 | 2025-12-22 |
| CVE-2025-30232 | A use-after-free in Exim 4.96 through 4.98.1 could allow users (with command-line access) to escalate privileges. | [email protected] | 8.1 | 0.13% | 2025-03-28 | 2025-09-30 |
| CVE-2025-26794 | Exim 4.98 before 4.98.1, when SQLite hints and ETRN serialization are used, allows remote SQL injection. (Resolving SQL injection requires an update to 4.99.1 in certain non-default rate-limit configurations.) | [email protected] | 7.5 | 78.00% | 2025-02-21 | 2025-12-18 |
| CVE-2024-39929 | Exim through 4.97.1 misparses a multiline RFC 2231 header filename, and thus remote attackers can bypass a $mime_filename extension-blocking protection mechanism, and potentially deliver executable attachments to the mailboxes of end users. | [email protected] | 5.4 | 60.31% | 2024-07-04 | 2025-07-10 |
| CVE-2023-42119 | Exim dnsdb Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Exim. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the smtp service, which listens on TCP port 25 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer.

| CVE-2023-51766 | 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. | [email protected] | 5.3 | 1.64% | 2023-12-24 | 2025-11-04 |
