Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Unix-like operating systems. [...] In August 2019 [...] approximately 57% of the publicly reachable mail-servers on the Internet ran Exim.
Yikes.

- techdevangelist 7y agocPanel I believe still utilizes Exim which I suspect drives that number up.
- syntheticnature 7y agoThat is indeed correct.
- ttul 7y agoThis is the entire web hosting industry. The attack surface is massive and the industry has been so squeezed of costs that patching stuff will take a long time. This exploit will be alive for a long long time.
- ianhawes 7y agoTo its credit, cPanel updates nightly and the developers will push security patches out within hours. I don’t have a box to check but I would imagine a cPanel patch is already live.
