It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-42119 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Exim Exim. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42119/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42119/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42119","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42119/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42119","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2025-DX69052","CLSA-2023-1699468134","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-42119","GHSA-hpcw-47wp-rc8h","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-42119"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Exim mail server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Network-adjacent attackers can disclose sensitive information via an out-of-bounds read in Exim's dnsdb component without authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zdi","cpe":[{"product":"exim","vendor":"exim"}],"cvss":{"score":3.1,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"Exim dnsdb Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Exim. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.\n\nThe specific flaw exists within the smtp service, which listens on TCP port 25 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account.\n.
