+Since Exim version 4.94
+-----------------------
+
+JH/02 Bug 2587: Fix pam expansion condition. Tainted values are commonly used
+ as arguments, so an implementation trying to copy these into a local
+ buffer was taking a taint-enforcement trap. Fix by using dynamically
+ created buffers. Similar fix for radius expansion condition.
+
+JH/03 Bug 2586: Fix listcount expansion operator. Using tainted arguments is
+ reasonable, eg. to count headers. Fix by using dynamically created
+ buffers rather than a local. Do similar fixes for ACL actions "dcc",
+ "log_reject_target", "malware" and "spam"; the arguments are expanded
+ so could be handling tainted values.
+
+JH/04 Bug 2590: Fix -bi (newaliases). A previous code rearrangement had
+ broken the (no-op) support for this sendmail command. Restore it
+ to doing nothing, silently, and returning good status.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2593: Fix "vacation" in Exim filter. Previously, when a "once"
+ record path was given (or the default used) without a leading directory
+ path, an error occurred on trying to open it. Use the transport's working
+ directory.
+
+JH/06 Bug 2594: Change the name used for certificate name checks in the smtp
+ transport. Previously it was the name on the DNS A-record; use instead
+ the head of the CNAME chain leading there (if there is one). This seems
+ to align better with RFC 6125.
+
+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.
+
+JH/08 Bug 2598: Fix verify ACL condition. The options for the condition are
+ expanded; previously using tainted values was rejected. Fix by using
+ dynamically-created buffers.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2603: Fix coding of string copying to only evaluate arguments once.
+ Previously a macro used one argument twice; when called with the
+ argument as an expression having side-effects, incorrect operation
+ resulted. Use an inlineable function.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2604: Fix request to cutthrough-deliver when a connection is already
+ held open for a verify callout. Previously this wan not accounted for
+ and a corrupt onward SMTP conversation resulted.
+
+JH/13 Fix dsearch "subdir" filter to ignore ".". Previously only ".." was
+ excluded, not matching the documentation.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2606: Fix a segfault in sqlite lookups. When no, or a bad, filename
+ was given for the sqlite_dbfile a trap resulted.
+
+JH/15 Bug 2620: Fix "spam" ACL condition. Previously, tainted values for the
+ "name" argument resulted in a trap. There is no reason to disallow such;
+ this was a coding error.
+
+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
+ 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
+ exists, just to get a clock slightly more aligned to reality.
+
+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
+ 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
+ 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/21 Bug 2630: Fix eol-replacement string for the ${readsocket } expansion.
+ Previously when a whitespace character was specified it was not inserted
+ after removing the newline.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2634: Fix a taint trap seen on NetBSD: the testing coded for
+ is_tainted() had an off-by-one error in the overenthusiastic direction.
+ Find and fix by Gavan. Although NetBSD is not a supported platform for
+ 4.94 this bug could affect other platforms.
+
+JH/24 Bug 2634: Fix a taint trap seen on NetBSD: the testing coded for
+ is_tainted() had an off-by-one error in the overenthusiastic direction.
+ Find and fix by Gavan. Although NetBSD is not a supported platform for
+ 4.94 this bug could affect other platforms.
+JH/21 Bug 2630: Fix eol-replacement string for the ${readsocket } expansion.
+ Previously when a whitespace character was specified it was not inserted
+ after removing the newline.
+
+JH/22 Bug 2265: Force SNI usage for smtp transport DANE'd connections, to be
+ the domain part of the recipient address. This overrides any tls_sni
+ option set, which was previously used.
+
+JH/23 Logging: with the +tls_sni log_selector, do not wrap the received SNI
+ in quotes.
+
+JH/26 Bug 2646: fix a memory usage issue in ldap lookups. Previously, when more
+ than one server was defined and depending on the platform memory layout
+ details, an internal consistency trap could be hit while walking the list
+ of servers.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2648: fix the passing of an authenticator public-name through spool
+ files. The value is used by the authresults expansion item. Previously
+ if this was used in a router or transport, a crash could result.
+
+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
+ (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
+ alrready 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/33 Fix a taint trap in the ${listextract } expansion when the source data
+ was tainted.
+
+JH/35 Bug 2343: Harden exim_tidydb against corrupt wait- files.
+
+JH/36 Bug 2687: Fix interpretation of multiple ^ chars in a plaintext
+ authenticator client_send option. Previously the next char, after a pair
+ was collapsed, was taken verbatim (so ^^^foo became ^^foo; ^^^^foo became
+ ^^\x00foo). Fixed to get ^\x00foo and ^^foo respectively to match the
+ documentation. There is still no way to get a leading ^ immediately
+ after a NUL (ie. for the password of a PLAIN method authenticator.
+
+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
+ $domain_part_data.
+
+JH/41 Fix daemon SIGHUP on FreeBSD. Previously, a named socket for IPC was
+ left undeleted; the attempt to re-create it then failed - resulting in
+ the usual "SIGHUP tp have daemon reload configuration" to not work.
+ This affected any platform not supporting "abstract" Unix-domain
+ sockets (i.e. not Linux).
+
+JH/42 Bug 2692: Harden against a peer which reneges on a 452 "too many
+ recipients" response to RCPT in a later response, with a 250. The
+ previous coding assumed this would not happen, and under PIPELINING
+ would result in both lost and duplicate recipients for a message.
+
+JH/43 Bug 2694: Fix weighted distribution of work to multiple spamd servers.
+ Previously the weighting was incorrectly applied. Similar fix for socks
+ proxies. Found and fixed by Heiko Schlichting.
+
+JH/44 Bug 2701: Fix list-expansion of dns_ipv4_lookup. Previously, it did
+ not handle sub-lists included using the +namedlist syntax. While
+ investigating, the same found for dns_trust_aa, dns_again_means_nonexist,
+ dnssec_require_domains, dnssec_request_domains, srv_fail_domains,
+ mx_fail_domains.
+
+HS/01 Enforce absolute PID file path name.
+
+HS/02 Handle SIGINT as we handle SIGTERM: terminate the Exim process.
+
+PP/01 Add a too-many-bad-recipients guard to the default config's RCPT ACL.
+
+PP/02 Bug 2643: Correct TLS DH constants.
+ A missing NUL termination in our code-generation tool had led to some
+ incorrect Diffie-Hellman constants in the Exim source.
+ Reported by kylon94, code-gen tool fix by Simon Arlott.
+
+PP/03 Impose security length checks on various command-line options.
+ Fixes CVE-2020-SPRSS reported by Qualys.
+
+PP/04 Fix Linux security issue CVE-2020-SLCWD and guard against PATH_MAX
+ better. Reported by Qualys.
+
+PP/05 Fix security issue CVE-2020-PFPSN and guard against cmdline invoker
+ providing a particularly obnoxious sender full name.
+ Reported by Qualys.
+
+PP/06 Fix CVE-2020-28016 (PFPZA): Heap out-of-bounds write in parse_fix_phrase()
+
+PP/07 Refuse to allocate too little memory, block negative/zero allocations.
+ Security guard.
+
+PP/08 Change default for recipients_max from unlimited to 50,000.
+
+PP/09 Fix security issue with too many recipients on a message (to remove a
+ known security problem if someone does set recipients_max to unlimited,
+ or if local additions add to the recipient list).
+ Fixes CVE-2020-RCPTL reported by Qualys.
+
+PP/10 Fix security issue in SMTP verb option parsing
+ Fixes CVE-2020-EXOPT reported by Qualys.
+
+PP/11 Fix security issue in BDAT state confusion.
+ Ensure we reset known-good where we know we need to not be reading BDAT
+ data, as a general case fix, and move the places where we switch to BDAT
+ mode until after various protocol state checks.
+ Fixes CVE-2020-BDATA reported by Qualys.
+
+HS/03 Die on "/../" in msglog file names
+
+
Exim version 4.94
-----------------
- the autoreply transport file, log and once options
- file names used by the redirect router (including filter files)
- named-queue names
+ - paths used by single-key lookups
Previously this was permitted.
JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator. Previously it
queue_run_in_order means we cannot do this, as ordering becomes
indeterminate.
+JH/24 Bug 2524: fix the cyrus_sasl auth driver gssapi usage. A previous fix
+ had introduced a string-copy (for ensuring NUL-termination) which was not
+ appropriate for that case, which can include embedded NUL bytes in the
+ block of data. Investigation showed the copy to actually be needless, the
+ data being length-specified.
+
+JH/25 Fix use of concurrent TLS connections under GnuTLS. When a callout was
+ done during a receiving connection, and both used TLS, global info was
+ used rather than per-connection info for tracking the state of data
+ queued for transmission. This could result in a connection hang.
+
+JH/26 Fix use of the SIZE parameter on MAIL commands, on continued connections.
+ Previously, when delivering serveral messages down a single connection
+ only the first would provide a SIZE. This was due to the size information
+ not being properly tracked.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2530: When operating in a timezone with sub-minute offset, such as
+ TAI (at 37 seconds currently), pretend to be in UTC for time-related
+ expansion and logging. Previously, spurious values such as a future
+ minute could be seen.
+
+JH/28 Bug 2533: Fix expansion of ${tr } item. When called in some situations
+ it could crash from a null-deref. This could also affect the
+ ${addresses: } operator and ${readsock } item.
+
+JH/29 Bug 2537: Fix $mime_part_count. When a single connection had a non-mime
+ message following a mime one, the variable was not reset.
+
+JH/30 When an pipelined-connect fails at the first response, assume incorrect
+ cached capability (perhaps the peer reneged?) and immediately retry in
+ non-pipelined mode.
+
+JH/31 Fix spurious detection of timeout while writing to transport filter.
+
+JH/32 Bug 2541: Fix segfault on bad cmdline -f (sender) argument. Previously
+ an attempt to copy the string was made before checking it.
+
+JH/33 Fix the dsearch lookup to return an untainted result. Previously the
+ taint of the lookup key was maintained; we now regard the presence in the
+ filesystem as sufficient validation.
+
+JH/34 Fix the readsocket expansion to not segfault when an empty "options"
+ argument is supplied.
+
+JH/35 The dsearch lookup now requires that the directory is an absolute path.
+ Previously this was not checked, and nonempty relative paths made an
+ access under Exim's current working directory.
+
+JH/36 Bug 2554: Fix msg:defer event for the hosts_max_try_hardlimit case.
+ Previously no event was raised.
+
+JH/37 Bug 2552: Fix the check on spool space during reception to use the SIZE
+ parameter supplied by the sender MAIL FROM command. Previously it was
+ ignored, and only the check_spool_space option value for the required
+ leeway checked.
+
+JH/38 Fix $dkim_key_length. This should, after a DKIM verification, present
+ the size of the signing public-key. Previously it was instead giving
+ the size of the signature hash.
+
+JH/39 DKIM verification: the RFC 8301 restriction on sizes of RSA keys is now
+ the default. See the (new) dkim_verify_min_keysizes option.
+
+JH/40 Fix a memory-handling bug: when a connection carried multiple messages
+ and an ACL use a lookup for checking either the local_part or domain,
+ stale data could be accessed. Ensure that variable references are
+ dropped between messages.
+
+JH/41 Bug 2571: Fix SPA authenticator. Running as a server, an offset supplied
+ by the client was not checked as pointing within response data before
+ being used. A malicious client could thus cause an out-of-bounds read and
+ possibly gain authentication. Fix by adding the check.
+
+JH/42 Internationalisation: change the default for downconversion in the smtp
+ transport to be "if needed". Previously it was "as previously set" for
+ the message, which usually meant "if needed" for message-submission but
+ "no" for everything else. However, MTAs have been seen using SMTPUTF8
+ even when the envelope addresses did not need it, resulting in forwarding
+ failures to non-supporting MTAs. A downconvert in such cases will be
+ a no-op on the addresses, merely dropping the use of SMTPUTF8 by the
+ transport. The change does mean that addresses needing conversion will
+ be converted when previously a delivery failure would occur.
+
+JH/43 Fix possible long line in DSN. Previously when a very long SMTP error
+ response was received it would be used unchecked in a fail-DSN, violating
+ standards on line-length limits. Truncate if needed.
+
+HS/01 Remove parameters of the link to www.open-spf.org. The linked form
+ doesn't work. (Additionally add a new main config option to configure the
+ spf_smtp_comment)
+
Exim version 4.93
-----------------
JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
- for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
+ for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previously the default was to
not do so.
JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
- $localpart_data.
+ $local_part_data.
41. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
with the -f command-line option.
