Update on this “joke” Saga.
Italian Antitrust Authority said…
I beg your pardon…
Therefore, the Authority has ordered that Meta resume negotiations immediately, maintaining a behavior inspired by the canons of good faith and correctness and provide all the necessary information to allow SIAE to restore balance in the commercial relationship with Meta.

This is a press release.
I’m not really that fond of Meta. Or SIAE. Whatever.
Antitrust impose to Meta to keep negotiating with some counterpart who said “you must gave me this”
Lateally speaking, is trying to force a company to relate. Weird at least, and I have a lot of terms to tell about how this … order seems to me.
Exim. One word for say “Sendmail was great, let’s do that again… but way better”.
Sort of.
(Hoping the best for all Exim installation and mailadmins, for have effective patch… soon)
Edit. Now not hoping that much.
According to the article…
While ZDI reported the vulnerability to the Exim team in June 2022 and resent info on the flaw at the vendor’s request in May 2023, the developers failed to provide an update on their patch progress.
According to ZDI
06/14/22 – ZDI reported the vulnerability to the vendor.
04/25/23 – ZDI asked for an update.
Exim team quite sat on the report. Sofa or chaise longue, I suppose.
Forecasts for the project are not good IMO.
My understanding (so far, after looking a bit into what information is publically available about it) is that it heavily depends on the actual configuration and will probably only affect a tiny percentage of servers.
