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
14 extant use locations.

16Exim version 4.90
17-----------------
18
19JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
20 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
21 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
22 pairs of long lines into single ones.
23

PP
24PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
25 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

27JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
28 This permits better logging.
29
875512a3
JH
30JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
31 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
32 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
33 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
34 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 35 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

37JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
38 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect
39 "exiwhat" output.

42 add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
43 Patch from Bernd Kuhls.

JH
45JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
46 than 255 are no longer allowed.
47
7006ee24
JH
48JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
49 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
50 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
51 client, there is no benefit for these.
52 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
53 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
54 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
55 is used (3.2.4 +).

JH
60JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
61 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
62 erroneously found still-pending ones.
63
4e910c01
JH
64JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
65 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
66
42055a33
JH
67JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
68 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
69 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
70 signature and again for transmission.
71
eeb35890
JH
72JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
73 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 74 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

JH
76JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
77 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
78 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
79 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
80 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
81 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
82 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
83
40525d07
JH
84JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
85 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
86 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 87 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 88
f33875c3
PP
89PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
90 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
91 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
92 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
93 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
94 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
95 processing options.
96
a5ffa9b4
JH
97JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
98 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
99 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
100 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
101 connections.

103PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
104 affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
105 If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
106 configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
107 versions.

271JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
272 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
273 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
274 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
275 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used

337JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
338 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
339 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
340 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
341 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
342 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
343 if one fails this test.
344 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
345 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1159TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1160
1161 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1162 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1163 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1164 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1165 the retry rules.

1167 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1168 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1169 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1170
1171 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1172 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1173 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1174 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1175
1ddeb334
TF
1176 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1177 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1178 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1179 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1180 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1181 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1182 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1183
1184 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1185 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1193 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded

1509 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1510
1511 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1512 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1513 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1514 not safe for signals.
1515
1516 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1517 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1518 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1519 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1520 exiwhat.

TF
1522TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1523
1524 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1525 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1526 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1527 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1528 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1529
1530 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1531 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1532 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1533 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1534 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1535 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1536
1537 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1538 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1539 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1540 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1541
1542 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1543 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1544 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1545 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1546
1547 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1548 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1549 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1550 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1551 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1552 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1553 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1554 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1555 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1556
1557 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1558 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1559 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1560 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1561
1562 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1563 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1564 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1565 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1566 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1567 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1568 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1569 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1570 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1571 details in the main documentation.

2122 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2143PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2144
6a3bceb1
PH
2145PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2146 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2147 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2148 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2149 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2150 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2151 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2152 for iplsearch lookups.
2153
2154 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2155 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2156 previously such lookups could never work.
2157
4c04137d 2158 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2159 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2160 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2165MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2166 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2167 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2168 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2169 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2170 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2175MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2176 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2177 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2178 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2179 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2180 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2363PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2364 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2366 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2367 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2368 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2369 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2443 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2444 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2445 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2446 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2447 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2448 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2449 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2450 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2460
2461PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2462 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2463
2464 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2465 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2466
2467 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2468 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2469 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2470
2471 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2472 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2473 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2474 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2475 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2489PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)

2491 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2492 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2493 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2494 rather than extend the field.

PH
2519PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2520 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2521 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2522 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2523 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2524 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2525 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2526 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2527 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2528 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2529 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2563PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2565 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2566 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2567 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2568 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2569 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2570 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2573 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2574 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2575 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2576 function.
2577 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2578 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2579 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2580 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2581 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2582 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2583 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2584 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2585 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2591 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2592 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2593 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2594 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2595 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2596 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2597 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2600 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2602
322050c2
PH
2603PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2604 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2605 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2606 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2607 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2608 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2609 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2610 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2611 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2612 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2613 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2614 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2615 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2617PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2618 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2619 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2620 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2621 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2622 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2623 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2625PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2626 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2627 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2628 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2629 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2630 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2631 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2632 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2633 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2634 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2636PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2639 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2640 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2642PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2643 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2644 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2645 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2646 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2647 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2648 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2653 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2654 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2655 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2656 been verified.

2691 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2692 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2693 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2694 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2695 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2696 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2697
2698 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2699 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2700 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2701 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2702 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2703 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2704 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2705 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2706 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2707
2708 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2709 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2710 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
2731PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2732 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2733 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2734 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2735 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

2736 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2737 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2738 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2739 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the

3012 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3013 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3014 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3081PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
3082 passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
3083 process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
3084 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.

3098PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3099 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3100 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3101 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3102 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3103 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3104 bounce message.

3113PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
3114 compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
3115 recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
3116 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

3118PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
3119 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
3120 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
3121 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3122 changes:
3123
3124 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3125 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3126 suitable debugging output when -d is set.
59e82a2a
PH
3127
3128 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
3129 outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
3130 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

PH
3135PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3136 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3137 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3138 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3139 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3140 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3141 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3142 values from the SRV records were lost.
3143

PH
3144PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
3145 using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
3146 rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
3147

PH
3148PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
3149 adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
3150 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
3151

PH
3152PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3153 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3154 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3155 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3156 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3157 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3158 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3159 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3160 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3173 on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
3174 is given.

3176PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
3177 never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
3178 message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
3179
3180PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
3181 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
3182 PH/23 above applies.

3192 that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
3193 address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"
3194 could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL".

3199 documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.

3216 information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present

3228PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the

3232 same order.

PH
3257PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3258 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3259 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3260 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3261 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3262 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3263 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3264 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3265 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3266 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.
