CVE-2020-12783

CVSS v3.1

7.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Exim versions prior to 4.94
Description: The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the SPA authenticator of the Exim mail server, specifically in components auths/spa.c and auths/auth-spa.c. This could result in SPA/NTLM authentication bypass, potentially allowing a remote attacker to access confidential data.
Recommendations: For Exim versions prior to 4.94, update to version 4.94 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SPA authenticator until a patch is available.
