options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
+Since Exim version 4.90
+-----------------
+
+JH/03 Fix pgsql lookup for multiple result-tuples with a single column.
+ Previously only the last row was returned.
+
+JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
+ we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
+ element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
+ Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
+ input.
+
+JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
+ While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
+ variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
+ DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
+ expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
+ lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
+ DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
+ Main pool for expansions.
+ While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
+ active in the testsuite.
+ Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
+ When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
+ connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
+ queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
+ round-robin DNS.
+
+JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
+ Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
+ failure response.
+
+JH/10 Bug 2223: Fix mysql lookup returns for the no-data case (when the number of
+ rows affected is given instead).
+
+JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
+ SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
+ first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
+ multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
+ for all multi-message initiating connections.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
+ routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
+ onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
+
+JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
+ a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
+ initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
+ was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
+ separate.
+
+
Exim version 4.90
-----------------
JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
- awareness of the SMTP input buferring.
+ awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
+
+PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
+ Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
+ security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
+ own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
+ Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
+ AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
+ processing options.
+
+JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
+ taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
+ responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
+ a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
+ connections.
+
+PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
+ affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
+ If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
+ configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
+ versions.
+
+JH/14 For the "sock" variant of the malware scanner interface, accept an empty
+ cmdline element to get the documented default one. Previously it was
+ inaccessible.
+
+JH/15 Fix a crash in the smtp transport caused when two hosts in succession
+ are unsuable for non-message-specific reasons - eg. connection timeout,
+ banner-time rejection.
+
+JH/16 Fix logging of delivery remote port, when specified by router, under
+ callout/hold.
+
+PP/06 Repair manualroute's ability to take options in any order, even if one
+ is the name of a transport.
+ Fixes bug 2140.
+
+HS/01 Cleanup, prevent repeated use of -p/-oMr (CVE-2017-1000369)
+
+JH/17 Change the list-building routines interface to use the expanding-string
+ triplet model, for better allocation and copying behaviour.
+
+JH/18 Prebuild the data-structure for "builtin" macros, for faster startup.
+ Previously it was constructed the first time a possibly-matching string
+ was met in the configuration file input during startup; now it is done
+ during compilation.
+
+JH/19 Bug 2141: Use the full-complex API for Berkeley DB rather than the legacy-
+ compatible one, to avoid the (poorly documented) possibility of a config
+ file in the working directory redirecting the DB files, possibly correpting
+ some existing file. CVE-2017-10140 assigned for BDB.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2147: Do not defer for a verify-with-callout-and-random which is not
+ cache-hot. Previously, although the result was properly cached, the
+ initial verify call returned a defer.
+
+JH/21 Bug 2151: Avoid using SIZE on the MAIL for a callout verify, on any but
+ the main verify for receipient in uncached-mode.
+
+JH/22 Retire historical build files to an "unsupported" subdir. These are
+ defined as "ones for which we have no current evidence of testing".
+
+JH/23 DKIM: enforce the DNS pubkey record "h" permitted-hashes optional field,
+ if present. Previously it was ignored.
+
+JH/24 Start using specified-initialisers in C structure init coding. This is
+ a C99 feature (it's 2017, so now considered safe).
+
+JH/25 Use one-bit bitfields for flags in the "addr" data structure. Previously
+ if was a fixed-sized field and bitmask ops via macros; it is now more
+ extensible.
+
+PP/07 GitHub PR 56: Apply MariaDB build fix.
+ Patch provided by Jaroslav Škarvada.
+
+PP/08 Bug 2161: Fix regression in sieve quoted-printable handling introduced
+ during Coverity cleanups [4.87 JH/47]
+ Diagnosis and fix provided by Michael Fischer v. Mollard.
+
+JH/26 Fix DKIM bug: when the pseudoheader generated for signing was exactly
+ the right size to place the terminating semicolon on its own folded
+ line, the header hash was calculated to an incorrect value thanks to
+ the (relaxed) space the fold became.
+
+HS/02 Fix Bug 2130: large writes from the transport subprocess where chunked
+ and confused the parent.
+
+JH/27 Fix SOCKS bug: an unitialized pointer was deref'd by the transport process
+ which could crash as a result. This could lead to undeliverable messages.
+
+JH/28 Logging: "next input sent too soon" now shows where input was truncated
+ for log purposes.
+
+JH/29 Fix queue_run_in_order to ignore the PID portion of the message ID. This
+ matters on fast-turnover and PID-randomising systems, which were getting
+ out-of-order delivery.
+
+JH/30 Fix a logging bug on aarch64: an unsafe routine was previously used for
+ a possibly-overlapping copy. The symptom was that "Remote host closed
+ connection in response to HELO" was logged instead of the actual 4xx
+ error for the HELO.
+
+JH/31 Fix CHUNKING code to properly flush the unwanted chunk after an error.
+ Previously only that bufferd was discarded, resulting in SYMTP command
+ desynchronisation.
+
+JH/32 DKIM: when a message has multiple signatures matching an identity given
+ in dkim_verify_signers, run the dkim acl once for each. Previously only
+ one run was done. Bug 2189.
+
+JH/33 Downgrade an unfound-list name (usually a typo in the config file) from
+ "panic the current process" to "deliberately defer". The panic log is
+ still written with the problem list name; the mail and reject logs now
+ get a temp-reject line for the message that was being handled, saying
+ something like "domains check lookup or other defer". The SMTP 451
+ message is still "Temporary local problem".
+
+JH/34 Bug 2199: Fix a use-after-free while reading smtp input for header lines.
+ A crafted sequence of BDAT commands could result in in-use memory beeing
+ freed. CVE-2017-16943.
+
+HS/03 Bug 2201: Fix checking for leading-dot on a line during headers reading
+ from SMTP input. Previously it was always done; now only done for DATA
+ and not BDAT commands. CVE-2017-16944.
+
+JH/35 Bug 2201: Flush received data in BDAT mode after detecting an error fatal
+ to the message (such as an overlong header line). Previously this was
+ not done and we did not exit BDAT mode. Followon from the previous item
+ though a different problem.
