Hello,

If you run Exim and have local users you will want to make sure that
it is upgraded as a matter of urgency as there is a trivial
arbitrary command execution as root bug in most recent versions:

Even if you are the only local user you should upgrade as it's
possible, though more difficult, to exploit remotely.

Cheers,
Andy
