Subject: [Exim] Linux setuid bug?
Does anyone know whether it is possible to exploit the recent setuid
'feature' discovered in linux 2.2.* kernels in exim?

I hope exim is OK, but does anyone with more knowledge than I have a view?
(I knew there was a reason not to upgrade to 2.2 kernels on my outward facing
servers - up until now I had simply assumed it was laziness...)
