The "initial official" date for patch releases was "officially set" by Exim
project / security list onto the 11.06.2019 (today) - so possibly some "less
aware" (LTS) distributors will use that date ("in respect for the project")
for their release...

The distros i.e. i work with mainly (i.e. Gentoo, different BSDs etc.) are
"on" 4.92 "since published". Debian seems announced/released patches too:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-10149

RedHat (Enterprise) seems "not affected":
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2019-10149
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10149

or switch to a "proper distro"...ß)
