9-----------------
10
11JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
12 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
13 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
14 pairs of long lines into single ones.
15

PP
16PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
17 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

19JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
20 This permits better logging.
21
875512a3
JH
22JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
23 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
24 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
25 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
26 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 27 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

29JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
30 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect
31 "exiwhat" output.

33PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers;
34 add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
35 Patch from Bernd Kuhls.

JH
37JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
38 than 255 are no longer allowed.
39
7006ee24
JH
40JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
41 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
42 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
43 client, there is no benefit for these.
44 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
45 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
46 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
47 is used (3.2.4 +).

50 <https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>.
51

JH
52JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
53 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
54 erroneously found still-pending ones.
55
4e910c01
JH
56JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
57 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
58
42055a33
JH
59JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
60 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
61 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
62 signature and again for transmission.
63
eeb35890
JH
64JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
65 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 66 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

JH
68JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
69 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
70 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
71 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
72 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
73 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
74 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
75
40525d07
JH
76JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
77 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
78 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 79 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 80
f33875c3
PP
81PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
82 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
83 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
84 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
85 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
86 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
87 processing options.
88
a5ffa9b4
JH
89JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
90 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
91 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
92 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
93 connections.

PP
95PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
96 affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
97 If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
98 configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
99 versions.

231 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
232 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
233 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of

296JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
297 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
298 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
299 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
300 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
301 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
302 if one fails this test.
303 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
304 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1118TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1119
1120 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1121 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1122 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1123 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1124 the retry rules.
1125
1126 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1127 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1128 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1129
1130 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1131 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1132 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1133 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1134
1ddeb334
TF
1135 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1136 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1137 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1138 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1139 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1140 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1141 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1142
1143 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1144 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1178JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
1179 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
1180 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
1181 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
1182 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
1183 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
1184 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
4c04137d 1185 The client is controlled by both of: a hosts_try_prdr option

1466TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1467 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1468 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1469
1470 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1471 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1472 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1473 not safe for signals.
1474
1475 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1476 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1477 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1478 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1479 exiwhat.
1480
c99ce5c9
TF
1481TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1482
1483 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1484 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1485 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1486 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1487 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1488
1489 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1490 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1491 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1492 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1493 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1494 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1495
1496 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1497 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1498 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1499 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1500
1501 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1502 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1503 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1504 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1505
1506 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1507 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1508 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1509 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1510 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1511 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1512 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1513 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1514 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1515
1516 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1517 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1518 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1519 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1520
1521 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1522 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1523 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1524 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1525 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1526 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1527 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1528 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1529 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1530 details in the main documentation.

2081 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2100-----------------
2101
2102PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2103
6a3bceb1
PH
2104PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2105 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2106 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2107 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2108 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2109 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2110 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2111 for iplsearch lookups.
2112
2113 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2114 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2115 previously such lookups could never work.
2116
4c04137d 2117 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2118 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2119 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2124MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2125 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2126 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2127 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2128 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2129 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2134MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2135 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2136 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2137 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2138 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2139 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2322PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2323 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2324 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2325 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2326 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2327 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2328 pipelining has not been advertised.

2343 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2344 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2404 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2405 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2406 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2407 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2408 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

2420PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2421 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2422
2423 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2424 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2425
2426 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2427 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2428 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2429
2430 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2431 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2432 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2433 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2434 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2451 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2478PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2479 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2480 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2481 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2482 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2483 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2484 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2485 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2486 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2487 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2488 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2524 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2525 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2526 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2527 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2528 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2529 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05
PH
2533 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2534 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2535 function.
2536 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2537 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2538 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2539 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2540 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2541 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2542 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2543 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2544 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2550 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2551 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2552 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2553 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2554 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2555 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2556 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2562PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2563 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2564 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2565 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2566 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2567 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2568 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2569 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2570 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2571 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2572 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2573 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2574 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2577 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2578 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2579 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2580 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2581 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2582 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2584PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2585 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2586 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2587 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2588 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2589 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2590 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2591 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2592 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2593 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2595PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2601PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2604 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2605 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2606 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the

2646
2647PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2648 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2649 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2650 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2651 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2652 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2653 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2654 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2655 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2656
2657 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2658 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2659 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2660 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2661 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2662 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2663 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2664 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2665 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2666
2667 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2668 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2669 hammering the server.

2696 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

2970 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2971 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2972 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2973 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3094PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3095 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3096 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3097 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3098 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3099 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3100 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3101 values from the SRV records were lost.

3103PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3107PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3109 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.

3111PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3112 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3113 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3114 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3115 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3116 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3117 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3118 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3119 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3191 same order.

PH
3216PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3217 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3218 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3219 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3220 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3221 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3222 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3223 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3224 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3225 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3233PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3234 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3235 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3236 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3237 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3238 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3239 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3240 the variable.

3263 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3264 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3265 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3266 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3267
3268 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3269 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
