# Copyright (c) 2019 Marco Ivaldi <[email protected]>
#
# A flaw was found in Exim versions 4.87 to 4.91 (inclusive).
# Improper validation of recipient address in deliver_message()
# function in /src/deliver.c may lead to remote command execution.
# (CVE-2019-10149)
#
# This is a local privilege escalation exploit for "The Return
# of the WIZard" vulnerability reported by the Qualys Security
# Advisory team.
