-Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
This document describes *changes* to previous versions, that might
affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file. For new
options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
suitably configured).
+JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
+ and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
+
+JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
+ configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
+ crash could result.
+
+JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
+ the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
+
+JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
+ used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
+ responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
+ dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
+ to this system.
+
+JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
+ string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
+ library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
+
+JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
+ output.
+
+JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
+ API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
+
+JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
+ any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
+ rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
+ (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
+ input).
+
+HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
+ shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
+ 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
+ systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
+ (It was "hdr.$pid".)
+
+HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
+ shared (NFS) environment.
+
+HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
+ did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
+ affected.
+
+JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
+ on some platforms for bit 31.
+
+JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
+ to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
+ previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
+ like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
+ and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
+ the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
+ This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
+ and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
+
+JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
+
+JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
+ verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
+
+JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
+ queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
+ facility.
+
+JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
+ directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
+ documentation.
+
+JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
+ A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
+ for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
+ not do so.
+
+JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
+ default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
+ SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
+
+JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
+ is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
+ must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
+ the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
+ choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
+
+JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
+ reject under TFO.
+
+JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
+ default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
+ be requested on all coneections.
+
+JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
+ controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
+
+PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
+
+JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
+ success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
+ one for these; the option was ignored.
+
+JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
+ Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
+ single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
+ long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
+
+JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
+ delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
+ forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
+ standards.
+
+JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
+ requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
+ error ignored was made.
+
+JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
+
+JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
+ channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
+ values, to catch one form of exploit.
+
+JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
+ was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
+ fixed by Ruben Jenster.
+
+JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
+ an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
+ causing a segfault.
+
+JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
+ them in our smtp response.
+
+JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
+ any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
+ was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
+ configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
+ handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
+
+JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
+ link count into consideration.
+
+HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
+ caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
+
+JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
+ accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
+ receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
+ surprise.
+
+HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
+
+JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
+
+JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
+
+JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
+ parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
+ function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
+ 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
+
+HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
+
+JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
+ carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
+ active.
+
+JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
+ buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
+ arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
+
+JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
+ recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
+ re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
+
+JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
+ for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
+ Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
+ release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
+ respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
+ accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
+ adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
+ signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
+
+JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
+ the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
+ resulted in an indefinite loop.
+
