There is also another issue which is at least a DoS,
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2201 that is *not* patched yet.
The workaround below would help both cases.
From upstream:
"With immediate effect, please apply this workaround: if you are running
Exim 4.88 or newer (4.89 is current, 4.90 is upcoming) then in the main
section of your Exim configuration, set:
chunking_advertise_hosts =
That's an empty value, nothing on the right of the equals. This
disables advertising the ESMTP CHUNKING extension, making the BDAT verb
unavailable and avoids letting an attacker apply the logic. "
