11JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
12 which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
13 the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the

22JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
23 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
24 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
25 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
26 input.

30-----------------
31
32JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
33 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
34 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
35 pairs of long lines into single ones.

40JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.

875512a3
JH
43JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
44 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
45 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
46 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
47 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 48 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

58JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
59 than 255 are no longer allowed.
60
7006ee24
JH
61JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
62 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
63 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
64 client, there is no benefit for these.
65 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
66 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
67 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
68 is used (3.2.4 +).

73JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
74 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
75 erroneously found still-pending ones.

77JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
78 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
79
42055a33
JH
80JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
81 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
82 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
83 signature and again for transmission.
84
eeb35890
JH
85JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
86 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 87 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

JH
89JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
90 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
91 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
92 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
93 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
94 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
95 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
96
40525d07
JH
97JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
98 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
99 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 100 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 101
f33875c3
PP
102PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
103 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
104 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
105 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
106 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
107 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
108 processing options.
109
a5ffa9b4
JH
110JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
111 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
112 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
113 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
114 connections.

350JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
351 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
352 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
353 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
354 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
355 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
356 if one fails this test.
357 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
358 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1169 protocol violation error. Also, make Exim more robust to bad
1170 data from the Dovecot auth socket.

1172TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1173
1174 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1175 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1176 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1177 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1178 the retry rules.
1179
1180 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1181 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1182 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1183
1184 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1185 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1186 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1187 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1188
1ddeb334
TF
1189 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1190 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1191 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1192 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1193 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1194 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1195 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1196
1197 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1198 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1206 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded

1208 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1209 username as equal to the username.

1520TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1521 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1522 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1523
1524 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1525 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1526 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1527 not safe for signals.
1528
1529 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1530 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1531 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1532 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1533 exiwhat.

TF
1535TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1536
1537 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1538 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1539 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1540 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1541 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1542
1543 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1544 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1545 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1546 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1547 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1548 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1549
1550 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1551 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1552 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1553 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1554
1555 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1556 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1557 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1558 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1559
1560 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1561 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1562 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1563 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1564 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1565 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1566 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1567 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1568 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1569
1570 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1571 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1572 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1573 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1574
1575 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1576 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1577 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1578 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1579 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1580 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1581 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1582 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1583 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1584 details in the main documentation.

2156PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2157
6a3bceb1
PH
2158PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2159 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2160 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2161 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2162 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2163 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2164 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2165 for iplsearch lookups.
2166
2167 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2168 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2169 previously such lookups could never work.
2170
4c04137d 2171 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2172 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2173 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2178MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2179 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2180 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2181 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2182 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2183 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2188MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2189 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2190 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2191 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2192 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2193 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2376PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2377 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2379 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2380 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2381 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2382 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2456 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2457 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2458 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2459 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2460 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2461 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2462 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2463 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2474PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2475 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2476
2477 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2478 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2479
2480 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2481 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2482 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2483
2484 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2485 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2486 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2487 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2488 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2502PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2503 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2504 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2505 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2506 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2507 rather than extend the field.

PH
2532PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2533 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2534 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2535 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2536 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2537 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2538 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2539 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2540 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2541 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2542 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2576PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2578 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2579 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2580 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2581 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2582 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2583 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2586 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2587 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2588 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2589 function.
2590 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2591 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2592 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2593 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2594 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2595 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2596 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2597 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2598 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2604 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2605 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2606 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2607 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2608 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2609 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2610 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2613 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2615
322050c2
PH
2616PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2617 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2618 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2619 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2620 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2621 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2622 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2623 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2624 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2625 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2626 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2627 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2628 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2630PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2631 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2632 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2633 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2634 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2635 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2636 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2638PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2639 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2640 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2641 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2642 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2643 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2644 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2645 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2646 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2647 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2649PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2650 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2651 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2652 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2653 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2655PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2656 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2657 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2658 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2659 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2660 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2661 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2667 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2668 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2669 been verified.

2700
2701PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2702 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2703 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2704 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2705 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2706 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2707 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2708 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2709 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2710
2711 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2712 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2713 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2714 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2715 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2716 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2717 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2718 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2719 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2720
2721 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2722 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2723 hammering the server.

PH
2744PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue

2746 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2747 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2748 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting

2749 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2750 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2751 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2752 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the

3026 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3027 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3111PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3112 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3113 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3114 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3115 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3116 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3117 bounce message.

3129 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

3131PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
3132 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
3133 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
3134 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3135 changes:
3136
3137 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3138 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3139 suitable debugging output when -d is set.

3140
3141 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,

3148PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3149 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3150 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3151 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3152 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3153 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3154 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3155 values from the SRV records were lost.

3157PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3161PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3163 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.

PH
3165PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3166 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3167 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3168 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3169 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3170 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3171 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3172 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3173 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3192
3193PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
