For new options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. +Exim version 4.95 +----------------- + +JH/01 Bug 1329: Fix format of Maildir-format filenames to match other mail- + related applications. Previously an "H" was used where available info + says that "M" should be, so change to match. + +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/09 Relax restrictions on ACL verify condition needing access to message + headers. Previously they were only permitted in data and non-smtp ACLs; + permit also mime, dkim, prdr quit and notquit. Applies to header-syntax, + not_blind, header_sender and header_names_ascii verification. + +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/12 Bug 2607: Fix the ${srs_encode } expansion to handle quoted local_parts. + Previously they were embedded naively in the constructed address; when + needed, strip the quoting and quote the entire local_part. + Also make the inbound_srs expansion condition handle quoting. + +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/19 SPF: change the Authentication-Results expansion component to give + smtp.helo when the sender domain is empty. Previously it gave + "smtp.mailfrom=<>" + +JH/20 Bug 2631: ACL dnslist conditions now ignore and log any lookups returns + not in 127.0.0.0/8 to help in spotting list domains taken over by a + domain-parking registrar. + +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/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. + +PP/01 Fix default prime selection to be consistent. + One path used ike23 still, instead of exim.dev.20160529.3; now both + execution flows will use the same DH primes (currently + exim.dev.20160529.3). + +JH/25 OpenSSL: Fix back-compatibility behaviour surrounding tls_certificates + option in smtp transport, to match the documentation. Previously + verification was not being done in some cases where it should have been. + +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/28 Fix spurious logging of select error. Some platforms, notably FreeBSD, + have a sufficient incidence of EINTR returns from select that an + interaction with other operations done by the main daemon loop exposed + a bug in the error-handling. This was benign apart from the log + messages. + +JH/29 Bug 2675: add outgoing-interface I= element to deferred "==" log lines, + for consistency with delivered "=>" and failed "**" lines. While we're + there, handle PRX and TFO. + +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/34 Fix the placement of a multiple-message delivery marker in the delivery + log line. The asterisk is now consistently appended to the remote IP + (and port, if given), and will also be provided on defer and fail log + lines. Previously it could be placed on the local IP if that was being + logged, and was only provided on delivery lines. + +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/37 Enforce the expected size, for fixed-size records read from hints-DB + files. For bad sizes read, delete the record and whine to paniclog. + +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. + +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/40 The gsasl authenticator now supports caching of the salted password + generated by the client-side implementation. This required the addition + of a new variable: $auth4. + +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 2693: 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. + +JH/45 Use a (new) separate store pool-pair for DKIM verify working data. + Previously the permanent pool was used, so the sore could not be freed. + This meant a connection with many messages would use continually-growing + memory. + +JH/46 Use an exponentially-increasing block size when malloc'ing store. Do it + per-pool so as not to waste too much space. Previously a constant size + was used which resulted in O(n^2) behaviour; now we get O(n log n) making + DOS attacks harder. The cost is wasted memory use in the larger blocks. + +JH/47 Use explicit alloc/free for DNS lookup workspace. This permits using the + same space repeatedly, and a smaller process footprint. + +JH/48 Use a less bogus-looking filename for a temporary used for DH-parameters + for GnuTLS. Previously the name started "%s" which, while not a bug, + looked as if if might be one. + +JH/49 Bug 2710: when using SOCKS for additional messages after the first (a + "continued connection") make the $proxy_* variables available. Previously + the information was not passed across the exec() call for subsequent + transport executions. This also mean that the log lines for the + messages can show the proxy information. + +JH/50 Bug 2672: QT elements in log lines, unless disabled, now exclude the + receive time. With modern systems the difference is significant. + The historical behaviour can be restored by disabling (a new) log_selector + "queue_time_exclusive". + +JH/51 Taint-check ACL line. Previously, only filenames (for out-of-line ACL + content) were specifically tested for. Now, also cover epxansions + rerulting in acl names and inline ACL content. + +JH/52 Fix ${ip6norm:} operator. Previously, any trailing line text was dropped, + making it unusable in complex expressions. + +JH/53 Bug 2743: fix immediate-delivery via named queue. Previously this would + fail with a taint-check on the spoolfile name, and leave the message + queued. + +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.
