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

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

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

54 round-robin DNS.

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

189JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
190 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
191 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
192 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
193 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 194 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

208 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we

210 client, there is no benefit for these.
211 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
212 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
213 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string

235JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
236 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
237 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
238 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
239 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
240 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
241 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

JH
243JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
244 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
245 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 246 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.

249 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
250 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
251 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
252 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
253 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
254 processing options.

256JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
257 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
258 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
259 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
260 connections.

496JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
497 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
498 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
499 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
500 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
501 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
502 if one fails this test.
503 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
504 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1318TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1319
1320 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1321 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1322 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1323 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1324 the retry rules.
1325
1326 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1327 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1328 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1329
1330 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1331 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1332 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1333 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1334
1ddeb334
TF
1335 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1336 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1337 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1338 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1339 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1340 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1341 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1342
1343 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1344 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1353 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1354 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1355 username as equal to the username.

1384 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

TF
1666TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1667 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1668 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1669
1670 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1671 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1672 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1673 not safe for signals.
1674
1675 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1676 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1677 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1678 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1679 exiwhat.
1680
c99ce5c9
TF
1681TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1682
1683 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1684 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1685 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1686 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1687 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1688
1689 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1690 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1691 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1692 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1693 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1694 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1695
1696 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1697 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1698 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1699 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1700
1701 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1702 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1703 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1704 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1705
1706 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1707 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1708 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1709 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1710 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1711 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1712 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1713 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1714 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1715
1716 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1717 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1718 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1719 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1720
1721 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1722 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1723 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1724 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1725 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1726 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1727 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1728 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1729 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1730 details in the main documentation.

2281 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2283 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

PH
2304PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2305 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2306 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2307 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2308 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2309 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2310 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2311 for iplsearch lookups.
2312
2313 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2314 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2315 previously such lookups could never work.
2316
4c04137d 2317 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in

2319 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2324MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s

2326 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2327 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an

2329 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2525 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2526 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2527 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2528 pipelining has not been advertised.

2602 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2603 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2604 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2605 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2606 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2607 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2608 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2609 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2621 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2622
2623 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2624 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2625
2626 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2627 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2628 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2629
2630 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2631 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2632 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2633 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2634 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
2678PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2679 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2680 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2681 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2682 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2683 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2684 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2685 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2686 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2687 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2688 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2722PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2723 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2724 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2725 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2726 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2727 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2728 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2729 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2731PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2732 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2733 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2734 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2735 function.
2736 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2737 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2738 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2739 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2740 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2741 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2742 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2743 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2744 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2749PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2750 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2751 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2752 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2753 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2754 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2755 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2756 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2759 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2761
322050c2
PH
2762PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2763 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2764 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2765 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2766 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2767 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2768 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2769 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2770 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2771 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2772 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2773 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2774 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).
2775

PH
2776PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2777 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2778 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2779 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2780 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2781 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2782 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
2783

PH
2784PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2785 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2786 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2787 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2788 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2789 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2790 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2791 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2792 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2793 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
2794
602e59e5
PH
2795PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2796 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2797 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2798 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2799 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
2800
411ef850
PH
2801PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2802 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2803 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2804 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2805 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2806 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2807 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2808
7befa435
PH
2809PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2810 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2811 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2812 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2813 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2814 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2815 been verified.

PH
2846
2847PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2848 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2849 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2850 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2851 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2852 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2853 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2854 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2855 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2856
2857 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2858 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2859 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2860 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2861 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2862 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2863 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2864 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2865 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2866
2867 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2868 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2869 hammering the server.

2884PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2885 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2887 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2888 fails.
2889
48c7f9e2
PH
2890PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2891 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2892 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2893 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2894 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2895 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2896 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2897 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2898 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2899 smtp transport.

3152 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
3153 including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
3154 lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
3155 one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.

3167PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3168 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3169 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3170 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3171 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3172 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3173 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3174 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3175 451 error is used.

3197PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3198 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3199 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3200 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3201 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3202 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3203 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3208Exim version 4.61
3209-----------------
3210
3211PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3212 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3213 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3214 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3215 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3216 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3217 addresses as local.

3219PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@

3224PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
3225 decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
3226 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3227 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3228 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3229 grumble.

3237 spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
3238 release will lost any variables that are in spool files.

3243 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.

424a1c63
PH
3257PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3258 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3259 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3260 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3261 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3262 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3263 bounce message.
