+CVE ID: CVE-2019-13917
+OVE ID: OVE-20190718-0006
+Date: 2019-07-18
+Credits: Jeremy Harris
+Version(s): 4.85 up to and including 4.92
+Issue: A local or remote attacker can execute programs with root
+ privileges - if you've an unusual configuration. See below.
+
+Conditions to be vulnerable
+===========================
+
+If your configuration uses the ${sort } expansion for items that can be
+controlled by an attacker (e.g. $local_part, $domain). The default
+config, as shipped by the Exim developers, does not contain ${sort }.
+
+Details
+=======
+
+The vulnerability is exploitable either remotely or locally and could
+be used to execute other programs with root privilege. The ${sort }
+expansion re-evaluates its items.
+
+Mitigation
+==========
+
+Do not use ${sort } in your configuration.
+
