According to its banner, the version of Exim running on the remote host is between 4.87 and 4.91 (inclusive). It is, therefore, potentially affected by a remote command execution vulnerability. A flaw exists in the deliver_message() function that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a specially crafted email.
