For new options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. +Since Exim version 4.90 +----------------------- + +GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response. + When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers + in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR + case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the + next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must + be defined in redis_servers. + +JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(), + which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus + the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the + extant use locations. + +JH/02 Disallow '/' characters in queue names specified for the "queue=" ACL + modifier. This matches the restriction on the commandline. + +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/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content + Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled + in. Interface can be individually included or not at build time. + +JH/09 The "aveserver", "kavdaemon" and "mksd" interfaces are now not included + by the template makefile "src/EDITME". The "STREAM" support for an older + ClamAV interface method is removed. + +JH/10 Bug 2223: Fix mysql lookup returns for the no-data case (when the number of + rows affected is given instead). + +JH/11 The runtime Berkeley DB library version is now additionally output by + "exim -d -bV". Previously only the compile-time version was shown. + +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. + +JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in + unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug) + ignoring. This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and + fake-reject. + +HS/01 Fix Buffer overflow in base64d() (CVE-2018-6789) + +JH/16 Fix bug in DKIM verify: a buffer overflow could corrupt the malloc + metadata, resulting in a crash in free(). + +PP/01 Fix broken Heimdal GSSAPI authenticator integration. + Broken in f2ed27cf5, missing an equals sign for specified-initialisers. + Broken also in d185889f4, with init system revamp. + +JH/17 Bug 2113: Fix conversation closedown with the Avast malware scanner. + Previously we abruptly closed the connection after reading a malware- + found indication; now we go on to read the "scan ok" response line, + and send a quit. + +JH/18 Bug 2239: Enforce non-usability of control=utf8_downconvert in the mail + ACL. Previously, a crash would result. + +JH/19 Speed up macro lookups during configuration file read, by skipping non- + macro text after a replacement (previously it was only once per line) and + by skipping builtin macros when searching for an uppercase lead character. + +JH/20 DANE support moved from Experimental to mainline. The Makefile control + for the build is renamed. + +JH/21 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS. A buffer + was allocated for every new TLS startup, meaning one per message. Fix + by only allocating once (OpenSSL) or freeing on TLS-close (GnuTLS). + +JH/22 Bug 2236: When a DKIM verification result is overridden by ACL, DMARC + reported the original. Fix to report (as far as possible) the ACL + result replacing the original. + +JH/23 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS under + OpenSSL. Certificate information is loaded for every new TLS startup, + and the resources needed to be freed. + +JH/24 Bug 2242: Fix exim_dbmbuild to permit directoryless filenames. + +JH/25 Fix utf8_downconvert propagation through a redirect router. Previously it + was not propagated. + +JH/26 Bug 2253: For logging delivery lines under PRDR, append the overall + DATA response info to the (existing) per-recipient response info for + the "C=" log element. It can have useful tracking info from the + destination system. Patch from Simon Arlott. + +JH/27 Bug 2251: Fix ldap lookups that return a single attribute having zero- + length value. Previously this would segfault. + +HS/02 Support Avast multiline protoocol, this allows passing flags to + newer versions of the scanner. + +JH/28 Ensure that variables possibly set during message acceptance are marked + dead before release of memory in the daemon loop. This stops complaints + about them when the debug_store option is enabled. Discovered specifically + for sender_rate_period, but applies to a whole set of variables. + Do the same for the queue-runner loop, for variables set from spool + message files. Do the same for the SMTP per-message loop, for certain + variables indirectly set in ACL operations. + +JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such + as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had + an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input; + enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast + input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP + responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another. + The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the + receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system + (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists). + Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter. + +JH/30 The (EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC) variable $dmarc_ar_header is withdrawn, being + replaced by the ${authresults } expansion. + + +Exim version 4.90 +----------------- + +JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in + more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced + string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses + pairs of long lines into single ones. + +PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly + during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded. + +JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers. + This permits better logging. + +JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active, + do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on + the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any + subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is + affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS + Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged. + +JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of + identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect + "exiwhat" output. + +PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers; + add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness. + Patch from Bernd Kuhls. + +JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger + than 255 are no longer allowed. + +JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers. + Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we + currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and + client, there is no benefit for these. + GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't + call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled + by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string + is used (3.2.4 +). + +PP/03 Add $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support for reproducible builds, per spec at + . + +JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously + the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and + erroneously found still-pending ones. + +JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support + MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections). + +JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a + transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for + creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the + signature and again for transmission. + +JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in + 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit + mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also. + +JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the + case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to + a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed + to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP + connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command + which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry + database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha. + +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 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 Å karvada. + +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.

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.
