i.e.
/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}
is split into
/usr/bin/echo
${quote:hello
world}
and the second string yields an expansion error.
Use
/usr/sbin/exim4 -be '${run,preexpand{/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}}}'
to get the old behavior.

Hi Andreas,
I installed the package
https://people.debian.org/~ametzler/tmp/exim4-daemon-heavy_4.96-15+deb12u2+almostu3_amd64.deb
The binary /usr/sbin/exim4 inside is from Sept 3rd:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 1575384 2023-09-03 13:34 /usr/sbin/exim4
That binary does not fix the problem of quote with space included:
# /usr/sbin/exim4 -be '${run{/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}}}'
Failed: Expansion of "${quote:hello" from command "/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello
world}" in ${run} expansion failed: missing } at end of string

Hello Andreas,
thanks for the info.
I am not familiar with the Repository format at
https://salsa.debian.org/exim-team/exim4/-/tree/12_bookworm?ref_type=heads
Is there a binary or a package that I can test or do
I have to patch and compile?

Hello Andreas,
I just realized Debian Bug #1025420 is closed even though
we are still running into it in exim 4.96-15+deb12u2
Please try:
# /usr/sbin/exim4 -be '${run{/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}}}'
Failed: Expansion of "${quote:hello" from command "/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello
world}" in ${run} expansion failed: missing } at end of string
The bug is only fixed for exactly the version in the bug
report, variables with no space included. We need to use
${quote:$h_subject:} where the subject often includes
spaces.
Hello,
Yes, I now that. I had a stable update pending for the latest point
release but I pulled it because there needed to be DSA for CVE-2023-42114,
CVE-2023-42115, CVE-2023-42116 at basically the same time.
I would appreciate if you could check whether
https://salsa.debian.org/exim-team/exim4/-/tree/12_bookworm?ref_type=heads
works for you.
cu Andreas

Thanks for the heads-up. Sadly the fix from master does not apply
directly to 4.96 due to some rework ("Args count reduction in expansions
coding").
