Thanks to LowEndTalk administrator emeritus @jar for alerting the community to a range of exim vulnerabilities published by Qualys.  There is a family of both local and remote vulnerabilities.

tl;dr: patch your exim installs.  4.94.2 is the minimum you should be running.  Not all distros don’t updates available yet.
