Default Care needed when combining Exim and Dovecot

From http://h-online.com/-1856664

Quote:
A commonly used method of coupling the Exim and Dovecot mail server programs results in a serious security hole that allows attackers to inject and execute code. Penetration testers at RedTeam Pentesting came across the issue when performing tests for customers and established that it is caused by an officially recommended, but problematic configuration.
