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 4.98
+-----------------
+
+JH/01 Support list of dkim results in the dkim_status ACL condition, making
+ it more usable in the data ACL.
+
+JH/02 Bug 3040: Handle error on close of the spool data file during reception.
+ Previously This was only logged, on the assumption that errors would be
+ seen for a previous fflush(). However, a fuse filesystem has been
+ reported as showing this an error for the fclose(). The spool is now in
+ an uncertain state, and we have logged and responded acceptance. Change
+ this to respond with a temp-reject, wipe spoolfiles, and log the error
+ detail.
+
+JH/03 Bug 3030: Fix handling of DNS servfail respons for DANE TLSA. When hit
+ during a recipient verify callout, a QUIT command was attempted on the
+ now-closed callout channel, causing a paniclog entry.
+
+JH/04 Bug 3039: Fix handling of of an empty log_reject_target, with
+ a connection_reject log_selector, under tls_on_connect. Previously
+ with this combination, when the connect ACL rejected, a spurious
+ paniclog entry was made.
+
+JH/05 Fix TLS resumption for TLS-on-connect. This was broken by the advent
+ of loadbalancer-detection for resumption, in 4.96 - which tries to
+ use the EHLO response. SMTPS does not have one at the time it is starting
+ TLS. Change the default for the smtp transport host_name_extract option
+ to be a static string, for TLS-on-connect cases; meaning that resumption
+ will always be attempted (unless deliberately overriden).
+
+JH/06 Bug 3054: Fix dnsdb lookup for a TXT record with multiple chunks, with a
+ chunk-separator specification. This was broken by hardening introduced
+ for Bug 3031.
+
+JH/07 Bug 3050: Fix -bp for old message_id format spoolfiles. Previously it
+ included the -H with the id; this also messed up exiqgrep.
+
+JH/08 Bug 3056: Tighten up parsing of DKIM DNS records. Previously, whitespace
+ was not properly skipped and empty elements would cause mis-parsing.
+ Tighten parsing of DKIM header records. Previously, all but lowercase
+ alpha chars would be ignored in potential tag names.
+
+JH/09 Bug 3057: Add heuristic for spotting mistyped IPv6 addresses in lists
+ being searched. Previously we only had one for IPv4 addresses. Per the
+ documentation, the error results by default in a no-match result for the
+ list. It is logged if the unknown_in_list log_selector is used.
+
+JH/10 Bug 3058: Ensure that a failing expansion in a router "set" option defers
+ the routing operation. Previously it would silently stop routing the
+ message.
+
+JH/11 Bug 3046: Fix queue-runs. Previously, the arrivel of a notification or
+ info-request event close in time to a scheduled run timer could result in
+ the latter being missed, and no further queue scheduled runs being
+ initiated. This ouwld be more likely on high-load systems.
+
+JH/12 Refuse to accept a line "dot, LF" as end-of-DATA unless operating in
+ LF-only mode (as detected from the first header line). Previously we did
+ accept that in (normal) CRLF mode; this has been raised as a possible
+ attack scenario (under the name "smtp smuggling").
+
+JH/13 Add an fdatasync call for the received message data file in spool, before
+ loggging reception and sending the SMTP ack. Previously we only flushed
+ the stdio buffer so there was still the possibility of a disk error.
+
+JH/14 Bug 3061: Avoid a split log line when trying to rewrite a malformed
+ address. Previously, for the last address in a header line (commonly
+ there is only one) the terminating newline was part of the logged
+ information.
+
+JH/15 Bug 3061: Ensure a log line is written for a malformed address in a
+ header, when parsing for address-qualification. Previously one was only
+ written if there were rewrite rules.
+
+JH/16 Two-phase queue runs are now reported in the daemon startup log line and
+ in exiwhat output.
+
+JH/17 Bug 3064: Fix combination of "-q<period> -R <recipients>". Introduction of
+ the multiple-queue-runners facility for 4.97 broke this, giving only a
+ one-time run of the queue.
+
+JH/18 Bug 3068: Log a warning for use of deprecated syntax in query-style
+ lookups.
+
+JH/19 Fix TLS startup. When the last expansion done before the initiation of a
+ TLS session resulted in a forced-fail, a misleading error was logged for
+ the expansino of tls_certificates. This would affect the common case of
+ that option being set (main-section options) but not having any variable
+ parts. It could also potentially affect tls_privatekeys. The underlyding
+ coding errors go back to 4.90 but were only exposed in 4.97.
+
+JH/20 Bug 3047: A recent (somewhere between 10.34 and 10.42) version of the
+ pcre2 library starting allocating 20kB rather than 112 bytes per match
+ call, which broke the 2GB total limitation on Exim's memory management
+ when a user had over 104207 messages stored and the appendfile
+ maildir_quota_directory_regex option is in use. Release the allocated
+ memory every thosand files to avoid this.
+ The same issue arises with the ACL regex condition, which is applied
+ to every line of a received message.
+
+JH/21 Bug 3059: Fix crash in smtp transport. When running for a message for
+ which all recipients had been handled (itself an issue) a null-pointer
+ deref was done on trying to write a retry record. Fix that by counting
+ the outstanding recipients before trying to transmit the message.
+ The situation arose for a second MX try within a transport run, when the
+ first had perm-rejected a recipient (the only one for the connection, in
+ the case seen) during pipelining, and then closed the TCP connection.
+ The transport classified that as an I/O error, leaving the message
+ outstanding but having marked up the recipient as dealt-with. It then
+ tried another MX because of the I/O error. Fix this by converting the
+ message-level status to ok if there was a close but all recipients were
+ dealt with. Thanks to Wolfgand Breyha for debug runs.
+
+JH/22 The ESMTP_LIMITS facility (RFC 9422) is promoted from experimental status
+ and is now controlled by the build-time option DISABLE_ESMTP_LIMITS.
+
+JH/23 Bug 3066: Avoid leaking lookup database credentials to log.
+
+
Exim version 4.97
-----------------
JH/19 Bug 2911: Fix a recursion in DNS lookups. Previously, if the main option
dns_again_means_nonexist included an element causing a DNS lookup which
- iteslf returned DNS_AGAIN, unbounded recursion occurred. Possible results
+ itself returned DNS_AGAIN, unbounded recursion occurred. Possible results
included (though probably not limited to) a process crash from stack
memory limit, or from excessive open files. Replace this with a paniclog
whine (as this is likely a configuration error), and returning
JH/39 Bug 3023: Fix crash induced by some combinations of zero-length strings
and ${tr...}. Found and diagnosed by Heiko Schlichting.
-JH/40 Support list of dkim results in the dkim_status ACL condition, making
- it more usable in the data ACL.
+JH/40 Bug 2999: Fix a possible OOB write in the external authenticator, which
+ could be triggered by externally-supplied input. Found by Trend Micro.
+ CVE-2023-42115
+
+JH/41 Bug 3000: Fix a possible OOB write in the SPA authenticator, which could
+ be triggered by externally-controlled input. Found by Trend Micro.
+ CVE-2023-42116
+
+JH/42 Bug 3001: Fix a possible OOB read in the SPA authenticator, which could
+ be triggered by externally-controlled input. Found by Trend Micro.
+ CVE-2023-42114
+
+JH/43 Bug 2903: avoid exit on an attempt to rewrite a malformed address.
+ Make the rewrite never match and keep the logging. Trust the
+ admin to be using verify=header-syntax (to actually reject the message).
+
+JH/44 Bug 3033: Harden dnsdb lookups against crafted DNS responses.
+ CVE-2023-42219
+
+HS/02 Fix string_is_ip_address() CVE-2023-42117 (Bug 3031)
