Millions of Exim servers vulnerable to root-granting exploit
- bellpepper 7y agoWhy does Exim run as root? Of course it needs to bind to low numbered ports, but why can't it drop privileges after doing that?
- tmikaeld 7y agoI asked this myself more than 10 years ago and then switched to Postfix because it runs chrooted as it's own user, same with Dovecot. I never managed to find a good reason as to why it cannot be chrooted.
