+CVE ID: CVE-2016-9963
+Date: 2016-12-15
+Credits: Bjoern Jacke <bjoern@j3e.de>
+Version(s): 4.69 -> 4.87
+Issue: If several conditions are met, Exim leaks private information
+ to a remote attacker.
+
+Conditions
+==========
+
+If *all* of the following conditions are met
+
+ Build options
+ -------------
+
+ * Exim is built with DKIM enabled (default for newer versions)
+ exim -bV | grep 'Support.*DKIM'
+
+ Runtime options
+ ---------------
+
+ * Exim uses DKIM signing (transport options dkim_private_key,
+ dkim_domain, and other)
+
+ * The dkim_private_key option names a file containing the key.
+
+ exim -bP transports | grep 'dkim_private_key = .'
+
+ * Exim uses PRDR (transport option hosts_try_prdr) (default
+ since 4.86)
+
+ exim -bP transports | grep 'hosts_try_prdr = .'
+
+ *OR*
+
+ Exim uses the LMTP protocol variant for SMTP transport.
+
+ exim -bP transports | grep 'protocol = lmtp'
+
+ Operation
+ ---------
+
+ * Exim transports a multi-recipient message
+
+ * The destination host supports PRDR
+ OR
+ the message transport uses LMTP
+
+ * One or more recipients are rejected after the DATA phase
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Exim leaks the private DKIM signing key to the log files. Additionally,
+if the build option EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO=yes is used, the key material
+is included in the bounce message.
+
+Fix
+===
+
+Install a fixed Exim version:
+
+ 4.88 (available soon)
+ 4.87.1 (available soon)
+
+If you can't install one of the above versions, ask your package
+maintainer for a version containing the backported fix. On request and
+depending on our resources we will support you in backporting the fix.
+(Please note, that Exim project officially doesn't support versions
+prior the current stable version.)
+
+Workaround
+==========
+
+Disable PRDR in your outgoing transport(s): set hosts_try_prdr to an
+empty string.
+
+AND do not use the LMTP protocol variant of the SMTP driver.
+
+Indication
+==========
+
+You can check if you where affected already. The mainlog entries look like this:
