Exim 4.63 (RedHat/Centos/Debian) Remote Root Exploit by Kingcope
This exploit is a modified perl version of metasploit module which is used to gain root access on Exim 4.63 running on RedHat/Centos/Debian. It uses a connect back shell as 'trojanurl' and sets up a netcat. It creates a C program in the spool directory of Exim4 and compiles it to get root access. It also creates a configuration file in the tmp directory and runs exim with the configuration file. It then runs the C program to get root access.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Exim4
