Hello,
I've added some extra filtering to the /etc/exim.pl versions to improve security with posted data.
The versions that have been updated are:
16 -> 16 http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl.16
17 -> 17 http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl.17
23 -> 24 http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl.24
To confirm you have the fix (nobody will have it by default), run:
which should show more than 0 (usually between 7 and 9).
To check your current /etc/exim.pl version, type:
so that you know which file to update to.
We'll add extra code to CustomBuild 2.0 to check this and remind you, in case you don't catch it.
You can reference this chart to know which exim.pl version goes with your /etc/exim.conf:
http://files1.directadmin.com/services/SpamBlocker/
and your /etc/exim.conf version should be visible at the top of that file.
We always recommend using the latest version of your current family.
The most recent versions are:
2.1.2
4.3.6
4.4.8
4.5.7
To Update
You can either manually download the updated exim.pl.XX version over top of your /etc/exim.pl file, eg for 23 to 24:
OR
CustomBuild 2.0 can be used to update your exim.conf *and* exim.pl for you:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=51
set the eximconf_release to the desired SpamBlocker (/etc/exim.conf) version, based on what you already have, or what you want to have.
The most updated, most current version is 4.5.7, and if you're going that route anyway (if SpamAssassin is already running), I'd also recommend the other tools:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=576
But if SpamAssassin is not yet running, we'd recommend you first install it (as it can be tricky)
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=36
and ensure spamd is running, before enabling EasySpamFighter/BlockCracking, and installing them with SpamBlocker (exim.conf).
