I can confirm that the patch was backported/applied to Ubuntu 18.04LTS.
Their updated package for that distribution is called "Exim
4.90.1-1ubuntu1.2". However the greeting string Exim returns to a client on
connection (which is where I think the stats will have been gathered from)
is unchanged from before the patch. So yes, I suspect that 90% is on the
high side, or more accurately should be described as servers needing/that
needed the patch.

Cheers,
