Exclamation New RCE vulnerability impacts nearly half of the internet's email servers

https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-rc...email-servers/

Quote:
The vulnerability affects Exim, a mail transfer agent (MTA), which is software that runs on email servers to relay emails from senders to recipients.

According to a June 2019 survey of all mail servers visible on the Internet, 57% (507,389) of all email servers run Exim -- although different reports would put the number of Exim installations at ten times that number, at 5.4 million.

I think those figures are greatly exaggerated, the survey it's based on counts servers without taking account of mail volume, and exim use is skewed towards small amateur servers.

In my own mail exim is about 10%.

The issue has been resolved in the latest Exim version (4.92). Of course it's unrealistic to assume all exim user will upgrade in the foreseeable future.
