For new options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. +Exim version 4.95 +----------------- + +JH/01 Bug 1329: Fix format of Maildir-format filenames to match other mail- + related applications. Previously an "H" was used where available info + says that "M" should be, so change to match. + +JH/02 Bug 2587: Fix pam expansion condition. Tainted values are commonly used + as arguments, so an implementation trying to copy these into a local + buffer was taking a taint-enforcement trap. Fix by using dynamically + created buffers. Similar fix for radius expansion condition. + +JH/03 Bug 2586: Fix listcount expansion operator. Using tainted arguments is + reasonable, eg. to count headers. Fix by using dynamically created + buffers rather than a local. Do similar fixes for ACL actions "dcc", + "log_reject_target", "malware" and "spam"; the arguments are expanded + so could be handling tainted values. + +JH/04 Bug 2590: Fix -bi (newaliases). A previous code rearrangement had + broken the (no-op) support for this sendmail command. Restore it + to doing nothing, silently, and returning good status. + +JH/05 Bug 2593: Fix "vacation" in Exim filter. Previously, when a "once" + record path was given (or the default used) without a leading directory + path, an error occurred on trying to open it. Use the transport's working + directory. + +JH/06 Bug 2594: Change the name used for certificate name checks in the smtp + transport. Previously it was the name on the DNS A-record; use instead + the head of the CNAME chain leading there (if there is one). This seems + to align better with RFC 6125. + +JH/07 Bug 2597: Fix a resource leak. Using a lookup in obtaining a value for + smtp_accept_max_per_host allocated resources which were not released + when the limit was exceeded. This eventually crashed the daemon. Fix + by adding a relase action in that path. + +JH/08 Bug 2598: Fix verify ACL condition. The options for the condition are + expanded; previously using tainted values was rejected. Fix by using + dynamically-created buffers. + +JH/09 Relax restrictions on ACL verify condition needing access to message + headers. Previously they were only permitted in data and non-smtp ACLs; + permit also mime, dkim, prdr quit and notquit. Applies to header-syntax, + not_blind, header_sender and header_names_ascii verification. + +JH/10 Bug 2603: Fix coding of string copying to only evaluate arguments once. + Previously a macro used one argument twice; when called with the + argument as an expression having side-effects, incorrect operation + resulted. Use an inlineable function. + +JH/11 Bug 2604: Fix request to cutthrough-deliver when a connection is already + held open for a verify callout. Previously this wan not accounted for + and a corrupt onward SMTP conversation resulted. + +JH/12 Bug 2607: Fix the ${srs_encode } expansion to handle quoted local_parts. + Previously they were embedded naively in the constructed address; when + needed, strip the quoting and quote the entire local_part. + Also make the inbound_srs expansion condition handle quoting. + +JH/13 Fix dsearch "subdir" filter to ignore ".". Previously only ".." was + excluded, not matching the documentation. + +JH/14 Bug 2606: Fix a segfault in sqlite lookups. When no, or a bad, filename + was given for the sqlite_dbfile a trap resulted. + +JH/15 Fix "spam" ACL condition. Previously, tainted values for the "name" + argument resulted in a trap. There is no reason to disallow such; this + was a coding error. + +JH/16 Bug 2615: Fix pause during message reception, on systems that have been + suspended/resumed. The Linux CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not account for time + spent suspended, ignoring the Posix definition. Previously we assumed + it did and a constant offset from real time could be used as a correction. + Change to using the same clock source for the start-of-message and the + post-message next-tick-wait. Also change to using CLOCK_BOOTTIME if it + exists, just to get a clock slightly more aligned to reality. + +JH/17 Bug 2295: Fix DKIM signing to always semicolon-terminate. Although the + RFC says it is optional some validators care. The missing char was not + intended but triggered by a line-wrap alignement. Discovery and fix by + Guillaume Outters, hacked on by JH. + +JH/18 Bug 2617: Fix a taint trap in parse_fix_phrase(). Previously when the + name being quoted was tainted a trap would be taken. Fix by using + dynamicaly created buffers. The routine could have been called by a + rewrite with the "h" flag, by using the "-F" command-line option, or + by using a "name=" option on a control=submission ACL modifier. + + +Exim version 4.94 +----------------- + +JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed. This reduces time + for some exim process initialisations. It does mean that the logging + of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup. + +JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile. + +JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to + RFC 8301. They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main + option. + +JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when + DKIM signing is being done. Previously a transport_filter would always + disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA. + +JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted. + +JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, whe due to SIGTERM. + +JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition. It seems that the + PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the + documentation. Therefore a plain malloc must be used. + +JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context. Previously + on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information + copied from a received message was written into the buffer. + +JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix + the ordering of its ARC headers. This caused a crash. + +JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed. Previously when + a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap + was taken. + +JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file. Previously a naiive + installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the + nonexistent file indicated by the default. Distros wanting DMARC enabled + should both provide the file and set the option. + Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages. + +JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining. Previously connections + could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response. + +JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another + message on a connection. Previously if one message had ARC headers and + the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an + Authentication-Results: header. + +JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the + Exim main code and Exim-related utities. The introduction of taint + tracking also did many adjustments to string handling. Since then, eximon + frequently terminated with an assert failure. + +JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and + check for 452 responses. This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing + a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target. The max_rcpt + transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override + the new feature). The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces + a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same + connection. The new facility is not tunable at this time. + +JH/16 Fix the variables set by the gsasl authenticator. Previously a pointer to + library live data was being used, so the results became garbage. Make + copies while it is still usable. + +JH/17 Logging: when the deliver_time selector ise set, include the DT= field + on delivery deferred (==) and failed (**) lines (if a delivery was + attemtped). Previously it was only on completion (=>) lines. + +JH/18 Authentication: the gsasl driver not provides the $authN variables in time + for the expansion of the server_scram_iter and server_scram_salt options. + +WB/01 SPF: DNS lookups for the obsolete SPF RR type done by the libspf2 library + are now specifically given a NO_DATA response without hitting the system + resolver. The library goes on to do the now-standard TXT lookup. + Use of dnsdb lookups is not affected. + +JH/19 Bug 2507: Modules: on handling a dynamic-module (lookups) open failure, + only retrieve the errormessage once. Previously two calls to dlerror() + were used, and the second one (for mainlog/paniclog) retrieved null + information. + +JH/20 Taint checking: disallow use of tainted data for + - the appendfile transport file and directory options + - the pipe transport command + - the autoreply transport file, log and once options + - file names used by the redirect router (including filter files) + - named-queue names + - paths used by single-key lookups + Previously this was permitted. + +JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator. Previously it + adjusted the size of a major service buffer; this failed because the + buffer was in use at the time. Change to a compile-time increase in the + buffer size, when this authenticator is compiled into exim. + +JH/22 Taint-checking: move to safe-mode taint checking on all platforms. The + previous fast-mode was untenable in the face of glibs using mmap to + support larger malloc requests. + +PP/01 Update the openssl_options possible values through OpenSSL 1.1.1c. + New values supported, if defined on system where compiled: + allow_no_dhe_kex, cryptopro_tlsext_bug, enable_middlebox_compat, + no_anti_replay, no_encrypt_then_mac, prioritize_chacha, tlsext_padding + +JH/23 Performance improvement in the initial phase of a two-pass queue run. By + running a limited number of proceses in parallel, a benefit is gained. The + amount varies with the platform hardware and load. The use of the option + queue_run_in_order means we cannot do this, as ordering becomes + indeterminate. + +JH/24 Bug 2524: fix the cyrus_sasl auth driver gssapi usage. A previous fix + had introduced a string-copy (for ensuring NUL-termination) which was not + appropriate for that case, which can include embedded NUL bytes in the + block of data. Investigation showed the copy to actually be needless, the + data being length-specified. + +JH/25 Fix use of concurrent TLS connections under GnuTLS. When a callout was + done during a receiving connection, and both used TLS, global info was + used rather than per-connection info for tracking the state of data + queued for transmission. This could result in a connection hang. + +JH/26 Fix use of the SIZE parameter on MAIL commands, on continued connections. + Previously, when delivering serveral messages down a single connection + only the first would provide a SIZE. This was due to the size information + not being properly tracked. + +JH/27 Bug 2530: When operating in a timezone with sub-minute offset, such as + TAI (at 37 seconds currently), pretend to be in UTC for time-related + expansion and logging. Previously, spurious values such as a future + minute could be seen. + +JH/28 Bug 2533: Fix expansion of ${tr } item. When called in some situations + it could crash from a null-deref. This could also affect the + ${addresses: } operator and ${readsock } item. + +JH/29 Bug 2537: Fix $mime_part_count. When a single connection had a non-mime + message following a mime one, the variable was not reset. + +JH/30 When an pipelined-connect fails at the first response, assume incorrect + cached capability (perhaps the peer reneged?) and immediately retry in + non-pipelined mode. + +JH/31 Fix spurious detection of timeout while writing to transport filter. + +JH/32 Bug 2541: Fix segfault on bad cmdline -f (sender) argument. Previously + an attempt to copy the string was made before checking it. + +JH/33 Fix the dsearch lookup to return an untainted result. Previously the + taint of the lookup key was maintained; we now regard the presence in the + filesystem as sufficient validation. + +JH/34 Fix the readsocket expansion to not segfault when an empty "options" + argument is supplied. + +JH/35 The dsearch lookup now requires that the directory is an absolute path. + Previously this was not checked, and nonempty relative paths made an + access under Exim's current working directory. + +JH/36 Bug 2554: Fix msg:defer event for the hosts_max_try_hardlimit case. + Previously no event was raised. + +JH/37 Bug 2552: Fix the check on spool space during reception to use the SIZE + parameter supplied by the sender MAIL FROM command. Previously it was + ignored, and only the check_spool_space option value for the required + leeway checked. + +JH/38 Fix $dkim_key_length. This should, after a DKIM verification, present + the size of the signing public-key. Previously it was instead giving + the size of the signature hash. + +JH/39 DKIM verification: the RFC 8301 restriction on sizes of RSA keys is now + the default. See the (new) dkim_verify_min_keysizes option. + +JH/40 Fix a memory-handling bug: when a connection carried multiple messages + and an ACL use a lookup for checking either the local_part or domain, + stale data could be accessed. Ensure that variable references are + dropped between messages. + +JH/41 Bug 2571: Fix SPA authenticator. Running as a server, an offset supplied + by the client was not checked as pointing within response data before + being used. A malicious client could thus cause an out-of-bounds read and + possibly gain authentication. Fix by adding the check. + +JH/42 Internationalisation: change the default for downconversion in the smtp + transport to be "if needed". Previously it was "as previously set" for + the message, which usually meant "if needed" for message-submission but + "no" for everything else. However, MTAs have been seen using SMTPUTF8 + even when the envelope addresses did not need it, resulting in forwarding + failures to non-supporting MTAs. A downconvert in such cases will be + a no-op on the addresses, merely dropping the use of SMTPUTF8 by the + transport. The change does mean that addresses needing conversion will + be converted when previously a delivery failure would occur. + +JH/43 Fix possible long line in DSN. Previously when a very long SMTP error + response was received it would be used unchecked in a fail-DSN, violating + standards on line-length limits. Truncate if needed. + +HS/01 Remove parameters of the link to www.open-spf.org. The linked form + doesn't work. (Additionally add a new main config option to configure the + spf_smtp_comment) + + +Exim version 4.93 +----------------- + +JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server + side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture. + +JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets. + Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in + its own TCP segment. + +JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for + each verb. + +JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause. + +JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use. + +JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible + buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports. + +JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under + TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible + to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the + response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed + 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. Previously 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 - 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. + +JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed + to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added + by the configuration then had no ARC item. + + Exim version 4.92 ----------------- @@ -46,6 +558,154 @@ JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by settin JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not legitimate. +JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd. + Previously this would segfault. + +JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed.

Previously only + one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging + time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result. + Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart. + +PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character. + Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the + promised '?' replacement. + +PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints. + +JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these + should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and + therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so + that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer + variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler. + +JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly + non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were + sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces. + +JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working. + The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so + was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz. + +JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient, + and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using + -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH. + +JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using + a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I + hope that is portable enough. + +JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also + requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the + TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name + on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode). + +JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be + included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with + SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled. + +JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored. + Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code, + move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message + failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging. + +JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the + msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz. + +JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was + far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all + the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be + overmuch for IOT constrained device use. + +JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly + copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not + supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT. + +JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the + platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB + (i.e. more than 2 TB).

Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received. + +JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole + "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked + off past the nul-terimation. + +JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external + causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were + not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting, + and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get + notified on each configured delay_warning cycle. + +JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers. + +JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth + cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding + accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation + actually does fail. + +AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they + return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required. + +JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously + it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of + peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush. + +JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow, + and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could + induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected. + +JH/42 Bug 2366: Fix the behaviour of the dkim_verify_signers option.
