11GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
12 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
13 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
14 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
15 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
16 be defined in redis_servers.

29JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
30 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
31 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
32 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
33 input.

35JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
36 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
37 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
38 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
39 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
40 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
41 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
42 Main pool for expansions.
43 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
44 active in the testsuite.
45 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

47JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
48 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
49 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
50 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
51 round-robin DNS.

152JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
153 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
154 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
155 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
156 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
157 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
158 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
159 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
160 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
161 Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.

JH
178JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
179 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
180 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
181 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
182 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 183 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

197 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
198 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
199 client, there is no benefit for these.
200 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
201 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
202 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string

224JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
225 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
226 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
227 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
228 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
229 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
230 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
231

JH
232JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
233 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
234 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 235 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.

237PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
238 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
239 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
240 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
241 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
242 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
243 processing options.
244
a5ffa9b4
JH
245JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
246 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
247 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
248 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
249 connections.

401JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING. Any BDAT commands after

419JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
420 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
421 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
422 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
423 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used

485JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
486 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
487 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
488 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
489 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
490 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
491 if one fails this test.
492 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
493 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1307TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1308
1309 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1310 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1311 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1312 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1313 the retry rules.
1314
1315 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1316 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1317 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1318
1319 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1320 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1321 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1322 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1323
1ddeb334
TF
1324 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1325 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1326 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1327 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1328 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1329 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1330 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1331
1332 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1333 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1342 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1343 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1344 username as equal to the username.

1655TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1656 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1657 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1658
1659 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1660 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1661 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1662 not safe for signals.
1663
1664 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1665 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1666 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1667 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1668 exiwhat.

TF
1670TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1671
1672 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1673 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1674 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1675 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1676 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1677
1678 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1679 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1680 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1681 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1682 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1683 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1684
1685 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1686 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1687 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1688 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1689
1690 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1691 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1692 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1693 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1694
1695 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1696 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1697 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1698 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1699 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1700 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1701 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1702 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1703 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1704
1705 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1706 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1707 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1708 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1709
1710 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1711 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1712 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1713 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1714 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1715 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1716 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1717 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1718 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1719 details in the main documentation.

2270 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2272 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

2290
2291PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2292
6a3bceb1
PH
2293PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2294 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2295 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2296 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2297 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2298 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2299 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2300 for iplsearch lookups.
2301
2302 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2303 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2304 previously such lookups could never work.
2305
4c04137d 2306 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2307 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2308 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2313MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2314 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2315 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2316 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2317 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2318 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2511PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2512 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2514 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2515 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2516 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2517 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2591 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2592 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2593 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2594 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2595 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2596 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2597 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2598 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2609PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2610 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2611
2612 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2613 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2614
2615 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2616 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2617 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2618
2619 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2620 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2621 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2622 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2623 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
2667PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2668 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2669 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2670 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2671 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2672 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2673 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2674 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2675 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2676 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2677 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2711PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2712 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2713 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2714 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2715 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2716 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2717 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2718 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2720PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2721 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2722 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2723 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2724 function.
2725 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2726 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2727 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2728 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2729 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2730 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2731 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2732 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2733 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

PH
2738PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2739 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2740 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2741 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2742 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2743 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2744 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2745 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2747PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
2748 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
2749 list.
2750
322050c2
PH
2751PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2752 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2753 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2754 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2755 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2756 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2757 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2758 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2759 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2760 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2761 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2762 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2763 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).
2764

PH
2765PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2766 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2767 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2768 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2769 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2770 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2771 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
2772

PH
2773PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2774 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2775 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2776 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2777 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2778 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2779 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2780 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2781 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2782 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
2783
602e59e5
PH
2784PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2785 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2786 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2787 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2788 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
2789
411ef850
PH
2790PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2791 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2792 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2793 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2794 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2795 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2796 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2797
7befa435
PH
2798PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2799 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2800 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2801 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2802 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2803 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2804 been verified.

PH
2835
2836PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2837 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2838 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2839 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2840 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2841 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2842 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2843 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2844 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2845
2846 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2847 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2848 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2849 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2850 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2851 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2852 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2853 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2854 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2855
2856 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2857 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2858 hammering the server.

2874 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2876 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2877 fails.
2878
48c7f9e2
PH
2879PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2880 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2881 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2882 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2883 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2884 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2885 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2886 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2887 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2888 smtp transport.

3141 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by

3156PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3157 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3158 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3159 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3160 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3161 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3162 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3163 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3164 451 error is used.

3186PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3187 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3188 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3189 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3190 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3191 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3192 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3198-----------------
3199
3200PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3201 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3202 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3203 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3204 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3205 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3206 addresses as local.

3215 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3216 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3217 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3218 grumble.

3246PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3247 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3248 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3249 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3250 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3251 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3252 bounce message.
