I just checked https://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/, and they list
4.92-8 there. So your 4.91 seems to be outdated a bit.

But generally speaking, I wouldn't not rely on the same speed in fixing
critical issues for unstable releases than I'd expect for stable
releases. So, running an unstable release you're somewhat on your own.

Yes, it could be.

Not sure. The issue is wellknown meanwhile. And some distros already
supplied fixed packages or stated that they run very outdated (<4.87)
Exim versions and are not vulnerable for this reason.
