They are both for this:
http://www.guninski.com/exim1.html
The 4.33 fix wasn't "good enough" and so 4.34 was issued.
I didn't change the spell much though, so it should behave just like
normal. Maybe I missed something? I have no machine to test exim's
actual workings (I run sendmail so port 25's taken up).
Not sure why it was rejected though.
I found 4.34 by going to their source download folder after reading the
gentoo security announcement. I often beat them, but this time they
have an inside track to exim releases, I guess.
I too noticed no official release on their website. I figure they will
announce when they are done fixing all the problems. In the meantime,
we're bleeding edge. I'd rather not risk leaving our boxes open.
Better broken than a hole.
