        When the option 'verify = header_syntax' is used in an ACL in the
        configuration file, Exim is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack that can
        be triggered remotely by sending malicious headers in an email message.
        Note that this option is not enabled in Exim's default configuration file.
      
    Impact :
    
        This vulnerability can be exploited to trigger a denial of service attack
        and potentially execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user used by
        the Exim daemon (by default this is the 'mail' user in Gentoo Linux).

        Make sure the verify=header_syntax option is not used in your exim.conf
