affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file. For new
options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
+Exim version 4.95
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Move the wait-for-next-tick (needed for unique messmage IDs) from
+ after reception to before a subsequent reception. This should
+ mean slightly faster delivery, and also confirmation of reception
+ to senders.
+
+JH/02 Move from using the pcre library to pcre2. The former is no longer
+ being developed or supported (by the original developer).
+
+JH/03 Constification work in the filters module required a major version
+ bump for the local-scan API. Specifically, the "headers_charset"
+ global which is visible via the API is now const and may therefore
+ not be modified by local-scan code.
+
+JH/04 Fix ClamAV TCP use under FreeBSD. Previously the OS-specific shim for
+ sendfile() didi not account for the way the ClamAV driver code called it.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2819: speed up command-line messages being read in. Previously a
+ time check was being done for every character; replace that with one
+ per buffer.
+
+JH/06 Bug 2815: Fix ALPN sent by server under OpenSSL. Previously the string
+ sent was prefixed with a length byte.
+
+JH/07 Change the SMTP feature name for pipelining connect to be compliant with
+ RFC 5321. Previously Dovecot (at least) would log errors during
+ submission.
+
+JH/08 Remove stripping of the binaries from the FreeBSD build. This was added
+ in 4.61 without a reason logged. Binaries will be bigger, which might
+ matter on diskspace-constrained systems, but debug is easier.
+
+JH/09 Fix macro-definition during "-be" expansion testing. The move to
+ write-protected store for macros had not accounted for these runtime
+ additions; fix by removing this protection for "-be" mode.
+
+JH/10 Convert all uses of select() to poll(). FreeBSD 12.2 was found to be
+ handing out large-numbered file descriptors, violating the usual Unix
+ assumption (and required by Posix) that the lowest possible number will be
+ allocated by the kernel when a new one is needed. In the daemon, and any
+ child procesees, values higher than 1024 (being bigger than FD_SETSIZE)
+ are not useable for FD_SET() [and hence select()] and overwrite the stack.
+ Assorted crashes happen.
+
+JH/11 Fix use of $sender_host_name in daemon process. When used in certain
+ main-section options or in a connect ACL, the value from the first ever
+ connection was never replaced for subsequent connections. Found by
+ Wakko Warner.
+
Exim version 4.95
-----------------
JH/07 Bug 2597: Fix a resource leak. Using a lookup in obtaining a value for
smtp_accept_max_per_host allocated resources which were not released
when the limit was exceeded. This eventually crashed the daemon. Fix
- by adding a relase action in that path.
+ by adding a release action in that path.
JH/08 Bug 2598: Fix verify ACL condition. The options for the condition are
expanded; previously using tainted values was rejected. Fix by using
JH/16 Bug 2615: Fix pause during message reception, on systems that have been
suspended/resumed. The Linux CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not account for time
- spent suspended, ignoring the Posix definition. Previously we assumed
+ spent suspended, ignoring the POSIX definition. Previously we assumed
it did and a constant offset from real time could be used as a correction.
Change to using the same clock source for the start-of-message and the
post-message next-tick-wait. Also change to using CLOCK_BOOTTIME if it
JH/17 Bug 2295: Fix DKIM signing to always semicolon-terminate. Although the
RFC says it is optional some validators care. The missing char was not
- intended but triggered by a line-wrap alignement. Discovery and fix by
+ intended but triggered by a line-wrap alignment. Discovery and fix by
Guillaume Outters, hacked on by JH.
JH/18 Bug 2617: Fix a taint trap in parse_fix_phrase(). Previously when the
name being quoted was tainted a trap would be taken. Fix by using
- dynamicaly created buffers. The routine could have been called by a
+ dynamically created buffers. The routine could have been called by a
rewrite with the "h" flag, by using the "-F" command-line option, or
by using a "name=" option on a control=submission ACL modifier.
JH/30 Bug 2677: fix matching of long addresses. Since 4.93 a limit of 256 was
applied. This resulted, if any header-line rewrite rules were configured,
- in a panic-log trigerrable by sending a message with a long address in
- a header. Fix by increaing the arbitrary limit to larger than a single
+ in a panic-log triggerable by sending a message with a long address in
+ a header. Fix by increasing the arbitrary limit to larger than a single
(dewrapped) 5322 header line maximum size.
JH/31 The ESMTP option name advertised for the SUPPORT_EARLY_PIPE build option
is changed from X_PIPE_CONNECT to PIPE_CONNECT. This is in line with
RFC 6648 which deprecates X- options in protocols as a general practice.
Changeover between the implementations is handled by the mechanisms

+ already coded.
JH/32 Bug 2599: fix delay of delivery to a local address where there is also
a remote which uses callout/hold. Previously the local was queued.
JH/38 When logging an AUTH failure, as server, do not include sensitive
information. Previously, the credentials would be included if given
- as part of the AUTH command line and an ACL denied authentidcation.
+ as part of the AUTH command line and an ACL denied authentication.
JH/39 Bug 2691: fix $local_part_data. When the matching list element
referred to a file, bad data was returned. This likely also affected
transport executions. This also mean that the log lines for the
messages can show the proxy information.

The historical behaviour can be restored by disabling (a new) log_selector

mode until after various protocol state checks.
Fixes CVE-2020-BDATA reported by Qualys.
+HS/03 Die on "/../" in msglog file names
+
+QS/01 Creation of (database) files in $spool_dir: only uid=0 or the uid of
+ the Exim runtime user are allowed to create files.
+
+QS/02 PID file creation/deletion: only possible if uid=0 or uid is the Exim
+ runtime user.
+
+QS/03 When reading the output from interpreted forward files we do not
+ pass the pipe between the parent and the interpreting process to
+ executed child processes (if any).
+
+QS/04 Always die if requested from internal logging, even is logging is
+ disabled.
+
+JH/54 DMARC: recent versions of the OpenDMARC library appear to have broken
+ the API; compilation noo longer completes with DMARC support included.
+ This affects 1.4.1-1 on Fedora 33 (1.3.2-3 is functional); and has
+ been reported on other platforms.
+
+JH/55 TLS: as server, reject connections with ALPN indicating non-smtp use.
+
+JH/56 Make the majority of info read from config files readonly, for defence-in-
+ depth against exploits. Suggestion by Qualys.
+ Not supported on Solaris 10.
+
+JH/57 Fix control=fakreject for a custom message containing tainted data.
+ Previously this resulted in a log complaint, due to a re-expansion present
+ since fakereject was originally introduced.
+
+JH/58 GnuTLS: Fix certextract expansion. If a second modifier after a tag
+ modifier was given, a loop resulted.
+
+JH/59 DKIM: Fix small-message verification under TLS with chunking. If a
+ pipelined SMTP command followed the BDAT LAST then it would be
+ incorrectly treated as part of the message body, causing a verification
+ fail.
+
+JH/60 Bug 2805: Fix logging of domain-literals in Message_ID: headers. They
+ require looser validation rules than those for 821-level addresses,
+ which only permit IP addresses.
