For new options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. +Exim version 4.97 +----------------- + +JH/01 The hosts_connection_nolog main option now also controls "no MAIL in + SMTP connection" log lines. + +JH/02 Option default value updates: + - queue_fast_ramp (main) true (was false) + - remote_max_parallel (main) 4 (was 2) + +JH/03 Cache static regex pattern compilations, for use by ACLs. + +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/05 Follow symlinks for placing a watch on TLS creds files. This means + (under Linux) we watch the dir containing the final file; previously + it would be the dir with the first symlink. We still do not monitor + the entire path. + +JH/06 Check for bad chars in rDNS for sender_host_name. The OpenBSD (at least) + dn_expand() is happy to pass them through. + +JH/07 OpenSSL Fix auto-reload of changed server OCSP proof. Previously, if + the file with the proof had an unchanged name, the new proof(s) were + loaded on top of the old ones (and nover used; the old ones were stapled). + +JH/08 Bug 2915: Fix use-after-free for $regex variables. Previously when + more than one message arrived in a single connection a reference from + the earlier message could be re-used. Often a sigsegv resulted. + These variables were introduced in Exim 4.87. + Debug help from Graeme Fowler. + +JH/09 Fix ${filter } for conditions that modify $value. Previously the + modified version would be used in construction the result, and a memory + error would occur. + +JH/10 GnuTLS: fix for (IOT?) clients offering no TLS extensions at all. + Find and fix by Jasen Betts. + +JH/11 OpenSSL: fix for ancient clients needing TLS support for versions earlier + than TLSv1,2, Previously, more-recent versions of OpenSSL were permitting + the systemwide configuration to override the Exim config. + +HS/01 Bug 2728: Introduce EDITME option "DMARC_API" to work around incompatible + API changes in libopendmarc. + +JH/12 Bug 2930: Fix daemon startup. When started from any process apart from + pid 1, in the normal "background daemon" mode, having to drop process- + group leadership also lost track of needing to create listener sockets. + +JH/13 Bug 2929: Fix using $recipients after ${run...}. A change made for 4.96 + resulted in the variable appearing empty. Find and fix by Ruben Jenster. + +JH/14 Bug 2933: Fix regex substring match variables for null matches. Since 4.96 + a capture group which obtained no text (eg. "(abc)*" matching zero + occurrences) could cause a segfault if the corresponding $ was + expanded. + +JH/15 Fix argument parsing for ${run } expansion. Previously, when an argument + included a close-brace character (eg. it itself used an expansion) an + error occurred. + +JH/16 Move running the smtp connect ACL to before, for TLS-on-connect ports, + starting TLS. Previously it was after, meaning that attackers on such + ports had to be screened using the host_reject_connection main config + option. The new sequence aligns better with the STARTTLS behaviour, and + permits defences against crypto-processing load attacks, even though it + is strictly an incompatible change. + Also, avoid sending any SMTP fail response for either the connect ACL + or host_reject_connection, for TLS-on-connect ports. + +JH/17 Permit the ACL "encrypted" condition to be used in a HELO/EHLO ACL, + Previously this was not permitted, but it makes reasonable sense. + While there, restore a restriction on using it from a connect ACL; given + the change JH/16 it could only return false (and before 4.91 was not + permitted). + +JH/18 Fix a fencepost error in logging. Previously (since 4.92) when a log line + was exactly sized compared to the log buffer, a crash occurred with the + misleading message "bad memory reference; pool not found". + Found and traced by Jasen Betts. + +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 + 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 + DNS_NOMATCH. + +JH/20 Bug 2954: (OpenSSL) Fix setting of explicit EC curve/group. Previously + this always failed, probably leading to the usual downgrade to in-clear + connections. + +JH/21 Fix TLSA lookups. Previously dns_again_means_nonexist would affect + SERVFAIL results, which breaks the downgrade resistance of DANE. Change + to not checking that list for these lookups. + +JH/22 Bug 2434: Add connection-elapsed "D=" element to more connection + closure log lines. + +JH/23 Fix crash in string expansions. Previously, if an empty variable was + immediately followed by an expansion operator, a null-indirection read + was done, killing the process. + +JH/24 Bug 2997: When built with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO, bounce messages can + include an SMTP response string which is longer than that supported + by the delivering transport. Alleviate by wrapping such lines before + column 80. + +JH/25 Bug 2827: Restrict size of References: header in bounce messages to 998 + chars (RFC limit). Previously a limit of 12 items was made, which with + a not-impossible References: in the message being bounced could still + be over-large and get stopped in the transport. + +JH/26 For a ${readsocket } in TLS mode, send a TLS Close Alert before the TCP + close. Previously a bare socket close was done. + +JH/27 Fix ${srs_encode ..}. Previously it would give a bad result for one day + every 1024 days. + +JH/28 Bug 2996: Fix a crash in the smtp transport. When finding that the + message being considered for delivery was already being handled by + another process, and having an SMTP connection already open, the function + to close it tried to use an uninitialized variable. This would afftect + high-volume sites more, especially when running mailing-list-style loads. + Pollution of logs was the major effect, as the other process delivered + the message. Found and partly investigated by Graeme Fowler. + +JH/29 Change format of the internal ID used for message identification. The old + version only supported 31 bits for a PID element; the new 64 (on systems + which can use Base-62 encoding, which is all currently supported ones + but not Darwin (MacOS) or Cygwin, which have case-insensitive filesystems + and must use Base-36). The new ID is 23 characters rather than 16, and is + visible in various places - notably logs, message headers, and spool file + names. Various of the ancillary utilities also have to know the format. + As well as the expanded PID portion, the sub-second part of the time + recorded in the ID is expanded to support finer precision. Theoretically + this permits a receive rate from a single comms channel of better than the + previous 2000/sec. + The major timestamp part of the ID is not changed; at 6 characters it is + usable until about year 3700. + Updating from previously releases is fully supported: old-format spool + files are still usable, and the utilities support both formats. New + message will use the new format. The one hints-DB file type which uses + message-IDs (the transport wait- DB) will be discarded if an old-format ID + is seen; new ones will be built with only new-format IDs. + Optionally, a utility can be used to convert spool files from old to new, + but this is only an efficiency measure not a requirement for operation + Downgrading from new to old requires running a provided utility, having + first stopped all operations. This will convert any spool files from new + back to old (losing time-precision and PID information) and remove any + wait- hints databases. + +JH/30 Bug 3006: Fix handling of JSON strings having embedded commas. Previously + we treated them as item separators when parsing for a list item, but they + need to be protected by the doublequotes. While there, add handling for + backslashes. + +JH/31 Bug 2998: Fix ${utf8clean:...} to disallow UTF-16 surrogate codepoints. + Found and fixed by Jasen Betts. No testcase for this as my usual text + editor insists on emitting only valid UTF-8. + +JH/32 Fix "tls_dhparam = none" under GnuTLS. At least with 3.7.9 this gave + a null-indirection SIGSEGV for the receive process. + +JH/33 Fix free for live variable $value created by a ${run ...} expansion during + -bh use. Internal checking would spot this and take a panic. + +JH/34 Bug 3013: Fix use of $recipients within arguments for ${run...}. + In 4.96 this would expand to empty. + +JH/35 Bug 3014: GnuTLS: fix expiry date for an auto-generated server + certificate. Find and fix by Andreas Metzler. + +JH/36 Add ARC info to DMARC hostory records. + +JH/37 Bug 3016: Avoid sending DSN when message was accepted under fakereject + or fakedefer. Previously the sender could discover that the message + had in fact been accepted. + +JH/38 Taint-track intermediate values from the peer in multi-stage authentation + sequences. Previously the input was not noted as being tainted; notably + this resulted in behaviour of LOGIN vs. PLAIN being inconsistent under + bad coding of authenticators. + +JH/39 Bug 3023: Fix crash induced by some combinations of zero-length strings + and ${tr...}. Found and diagnosed by Heiko Schlichting. + + +Exim version 4.96 +----------------- + +JH/01 Move the wait-for-next-tick (needed for unique message 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. + +JH/12 Bug 2838: Fix for i32lp64 hard-align platforms. Found for SPARC Linux, + though only once PCRE2 was introduced: the memory accounting used under + debug offset allocations by an int, giving a hard trap in early startup. + Change to using a size_t. Debug and fix by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz. + +JH/13 Bug 2845: Fix handling of tls_require_ciphers for OpenSSL when a value + with underbars is given. The write-protection of configuration introduced + in 4.95 trapped when normalisation was applied to an option not needing + expansion action. + +JH/14 Bug 1895: TLS: Deprecate RFC 5114 Diffie-Hellman parameters. + +JH/15 Fix a resource leak in *BSD. An off-by-one error resulted in the daemon + failing to close the certificates directory, every hour or any time it + was touched. + +JH/16 Debugging initiated by an ACL control now continues through into routing + and transport processes. Previously debugging stopped any time Exim + re-execs, or for processing a queued message. + +JH/17 The "expand" debug selector now gives more detail, specifically on the + result of expansion operators and items. + +JH/18 Bug 2751: Fix include_directory in redirect routers. Previously a + bad comparison between the option value and the name of the file to + be included was done, and a mismatch was wrongly identified. + 4.88 to 4.95 are affected. + +JH/19 Support for Berkeley DB versions 1 and 2 is withdrawn. + +JH/20 When built with NDBM for hints DB's check for nonexistence of a name + supplied as the db file-pair basename. Previously, if a directory + path was given, for example via the autoreply "once" option, the DB + file.pag and file.dir files would be created in that directory's + parent. + +JH/21 Remove the "allow_insecure_tainted_data" main config option and the + "taint" log_selector. These were previously deprecated. + +JH/22 Fix static address-list lookups to properly return the matched item. + Previously only the domain part was returned. + +JH/23 Bug 2864: FreeBSD: fix transport hang after 4xx/5xx response. Previously + the call into OpenSSL to send a TLS Close was being repeated; this + resulted in the library waiting for the peer's Close. If that was never + sent we waited forever. Fix by tracking send calls. + +JH/24 The ${run} expansion item now expands its command string elements after + splitting. Previously it was before; the new ordering makes handling + zero-length arguments simpler. The old ordering can be obtained by + appending a new option "preexpand", after a comma, to the "run". + +JH/25 Taint-check exec arguments for transport-initiated external processes. + Previously, tainted values could be used. This affects "pipe", "lmtp" and + "queryprogram" transport, transport-filter, and ETRN commands. + The ${run} expansion is also affected: in "preexpand" mode no part of + the command line may be tainted, in default mode the executable name + may not be tainted. + +JH/26 Fix CHUNKING on a continued-transport. Previously the usabliility of + the the facility was not passed across execs, and only the first message + passed over a connection could use BDAT; any further ones using DATA. + +JH/27 Support the PIPECONNECT facility in the smtp transport when the helo_data + uses $sending_ip_address and an interface is specified. + Previously any use of the local address in the EHLO name disabled + PIPECONNECT, the common case being to use the rDNS of it. + +JH/28 OpenSSL: fix transport-required OCSP stapling verification under session + resumption. Previously verify failed because no certificate status is + passed on the wire for the restarted session. Fix by using the recorded + ocsp status of the stored session for the new connection. + +JH/29 TLS resumption: the key for session lookup in the client now includes + more info that a server could potentially use in configuring a TLS + session, avoiding oferring mismatching sessions to such a server. + Previously only the server IP was used. + +JH/30 Fix string_copyn() for limit greater than actual string length. + Previously the copied amount was the limit, which could result in a + overlapping memcpy for newly allocated destination soon after a + source string shorter than the limit. Found/investigated by KM. + +JH/31 Bug 2886: GnuTLS: Do not free the cached creds on transport connection + close; it may be needed for a subsequent connection. This caused a + SEGV on primary-MX defer. Found/investigated by Gedalya & Andreas. + +JH/32 Fix CHUNKING for a second message on a connection when the first was + rejected. Previously we did not reset the chunking-offered state, and + erroneously rejected the BDAT command.
