Found by Trend Micro. - CVE-2023-42115 +Exim version 4.98 +----------------- -JH/02 Bug 3000: Fix a possible OOB write in the SPA authenticator, which could - be triggered by externally-controlled input.

Found by Trend Micro. - CVE-2023-42114 +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/04 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/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. -Exim version 4.next -------------------- +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. -HS/01 Fix string_is_ip_address() CVE-2023-42117 (Bug 3031) +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 -R ". 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.
