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.

28JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
29 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
30 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
31 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
32 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
33 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
34 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
35 Main pool for expansions.
36 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
37 active in the testsuite.
38 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

40JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
41 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
42 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
43 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
44 round-robin DNS.

67 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection

74JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as

77 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods

JH
119JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
120 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
121 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
122 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
123 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 124 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

137JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
138 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
139 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
140 client, there is no benefit for these.
141 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
142 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
143 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
144 is used (3.2.4 +).

156JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a

158 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
159 signature and again for transmission.

JH
165JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
166 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
167 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
168 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
169 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
170 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
171 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
172
40525d07
JH
173JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
174 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
175 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 176 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.

PP
178PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
179 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
180 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
181 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
182 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
183 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
184 processing options.
185
a5ffa9b4
JH
186JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
187 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
188 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
189 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
190 connections.

426JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
427 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
428 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
429 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
430 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
431 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
432 if one fails this test.
433 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
434 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1248TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1249
1250 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1251 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1252 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1253 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1254 the retry rules.
1255
1256 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1257 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1258 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1259
1260 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1261 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1262 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1263 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1264
1ddeb334
TF
1265 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1266 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1267 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1268 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1269 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1270 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1271 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1272
1273 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1274 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1282 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1283 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1284 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1285 username as equal to the username.

1596TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1597 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1598 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1599
1600 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1601 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1602 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1603 not safe for signals.
1604
1605 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1606 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1607 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1608 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1609 exiwhat.

TF
1611TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1612
1613 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1614 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1615 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1616 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1617 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1618
1619 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1620 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1621 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1622 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1623 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1624 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1625
1626 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1627 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1628 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1629 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1630
1631 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1632 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1633 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1634 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1635
1636 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1637 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1638 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1639 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1640 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1641 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1642 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1643 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1644 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1645
1646 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1647 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1648 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1649 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1650
1651 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1652 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1653 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1654 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1655 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1656 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1657 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1658 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1659 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1660 details in the main documentation.

2231
2232PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2233
6a3bceb1
PH
2234PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2235 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2236 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2237 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2238 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2239 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2240 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2241 for iplsearch lookups.
2242
2243 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2244 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2245 previously such lookups could never work.
2246
4c04137d 2247 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2248 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2249 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2254MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2255 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2256 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2257 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2258 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2259 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2264MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2265 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2266 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2267 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2268 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2269 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2452PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2453 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2455 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2456 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2457 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2458 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2532 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2533 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2534 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2535 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2536 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2537 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2538 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2539 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2550PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2551 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2552
2553 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2554 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2555
2556 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2557 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2558 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2559
2560 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2561 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2562 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2563 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2564 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2581 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

2b1c6e3a
PH
2608PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2609 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2610 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2611 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2612 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2613 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2614 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2615 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2616 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2617 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2618 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2654 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2655 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2656 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2657 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2658 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2659 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2662 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2663 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2664 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2665 function.
2666 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2667 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2668 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2669 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2670 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2671 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2672 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2673 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2674 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2681 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2682 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2683 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2684 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2685 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2686 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2694 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2695 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2696 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2697 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2698 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2699 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2700 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2701 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2702 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2703 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2704 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2706PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2707 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2708 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2709 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2710 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2711 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2712 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2714PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2715 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2716 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2717 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2718 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2719 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2720 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2721 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2722 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2723 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2725PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2727 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2728 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2729 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2731PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2732 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2733 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2734 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2735 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2736 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2737 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2739PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot

2742 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2743 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2744 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2745 been verified.

2776
2777PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2778 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2779 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2780 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2781 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2782 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2783 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2784 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2785 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2786
2787 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2788 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2789 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2790 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2791 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2792 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2793 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2794 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2795 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2796
2797 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2798 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2799 hammering the server.

2817 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2818 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
2820PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2821 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2822 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2823 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2824 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2825 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2826 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2827 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2828 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2829 smtp transport.

3078 This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to
3079 0.12.

3081PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
3082 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
3083 including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
3084 lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
3085 one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.

3097PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3098 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3099 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3100 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3101 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3102 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3103 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3104 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3105 451 error is used.

3127PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3128 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3129 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3130 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3131 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3132 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3133 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3138Exim version 4.61
3139-----------------
3140
3141PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3142 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3143 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3144 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3145 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3146 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3147 addresses as local.

3154PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the

3156 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3157 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3158 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3159 grumble.

3187PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3188 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3189 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3190 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3191 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3192 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3193 bounce message.

3205 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

3207PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be

3210 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3211 changes:
3212
3213 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3214 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3215 suitable debugging output when -d is set.

3216

3224PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3225 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3226 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3227 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3228 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3229 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3230 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3231 values from the SRV records were lost.

3233PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3237PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3239 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.

PH
3241PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3242 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3243 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3244 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3245 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3246 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3247 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3248 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3249 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
