 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21

 PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
 
+PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
+      in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
+      dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
+      contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
+      in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
+      (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
+      keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
+      for iplsearch lookups.
+
+      This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
+      colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
+      previously such lookups could never work.
+
+      The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
+      ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
+      incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
+
+TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
+      version.
+
+MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
+      conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
+      a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
+      right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
+      attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
+      exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use
+      $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is.
+
+MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
+      a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
+      symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
+      Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
+      symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
+      exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)
