Upgrade Debian:10

NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream exim4
package and not the exim4
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:10
relevant fixed versions and status.
Exim before 4.97.1 allows SMTP smuggling in certain PIPELINING/CHUNKING configurations. Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF protection mechanism. This occurs because Exim supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other popular e-mail servers do not.
