description = [[
Checks for and/or exploits a heap overflow within versions of Exim
prior to version 4.69 (CVE-2010-4344) and a privilege escalation
vulnerability in Exim 4.72 and prior (CVE-2010-4345).

The heap overflow vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the Exim daemon
(CVE-2010-4344). If the exploit fails then the Exim smtpd child will
be killed (heap corruption).

The script also checks for a privilege escalation vulnerability that
affects Exim version 4.72 and prior. The vulnerability allows the exim
user to gain root privileges by specifying an alternate configuration
file using the -C option (CVE-2010-4345).

The <code>smtp-vuln-cve2010-4344.exploit</code> script argument will make
the script try to exploit the vulnerabilities, by sending more than 50MB of
data, it depends on the message size limit configuration option of the
Exim server. If the exploit succeed the <code>exploit.cmd</code> or
<code>smtp-vuln-cve2010-4344.cmd</code> script arguments can be used to
run an arbitrary command on the remote system, under the
<code>Exim</code> user privileges. If this script argument is set then it
will enable the <code>smtp-vuln-cve2010-4344.exploit</code> argument.

To get the appropriate debug messages for this script, please use -d2.

Some of the logic of this script is based on the metasploit
exim4_string_format exploit.
