- Workround for PCRE version dependancy in version reporting; (beo#1073).
- update to 4.74
- Failure to get a lock on a hints database can have serious
consequences so log it to the panic log.
- Log LMTP confirmation messages in the same way as SMTP,
controlled using the smtp_confirmation log selector.
- Include the error message when we fail to unlink a spool file.
- Bugzilla 139: Support dynamically loaded lookups as modules.
- Bugzilla 139: Documentation and portability issues.
Avoid GNU Makefile-isms, let Exim continue to build on BSD.
Handle per-OS dynamic-module compilation flags.
- Let /dev/null have normal permissions.
The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the
permissions on /dev/null. Exempt it from some checks.
- Report version information for many libraries, including
Exim version information for dynamically loaded libraries. Created
version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors
who patch heavily. Dynamic module ABI change.
- CVE-2011-0017 - check return value of setuid/setgid. This is a
privilege escalation vulnerability whereby the Exim run-time user
can cause root to append content of the attacker's choosing to
arbitrary files.
- Bugzilla 1041: merged DCC maintainer's fixes for return code.
- Bugzilla 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros.
If dropping privileges for untrusted macros, we disabled normal logging
on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not
the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged.
- update to 4.73
- Date: & Message-Id: revert to normally being appended to a message,
only prepend for the Resent-* case. Fixes regression introduced in
Exim 4.70 by NM/22 for Bugzilla 607.
- Include check_rfc2047_length in configure.default because we're seeing
increasing numbers of administrators be bitten by this.
- Added DISABLE_DKIM and comment to src/EDITME
- Bugzilla 994: added openssl_options main configuration option.
- Bugzilla 995: provide better SSL diagnostics on failed reads.
- Bugzilla 834: provide a permit_coredump option for pipe transports.
- Adjust NTLM authentication to handle SASL Initial Response.
- If TLS negotiated an anonymous cipher, we could end up with SSL but
without a peer certificate, leading to a segfault because of an
assumption that peers always have certificates. Be a little more
paranoid. Problem reported by Martin Tscholak.
- Bugzilla 926: switch ClamAV to use the new zINSTREAM API for content
filtering; old API available if built with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes
NB: ClamAV planning to remove STREAM in "middle of 2010".
CL also introduces -bmalware, various -d+acl logging additions and
more caution in buffer sizes.
- Implemented reverse_ip expansion operator.
- Bugzilla 937: provide a "debug" ACL control.
- Bugzilla 922: Documentation dusting, patch provided by John Horne.
- Bugzilla 973: Implement --version.
- Bugzilla 752: Refuse to build/run if Exim user is root/0.
- Build without WITH_CONTENT_SCAN. Path from Andreas Metzler.
- Bugzilla 816: support multiple condition rules on Routers.
- Add bool_lax{} expansion operator and use that for combining multiple
condition rules, instead of bool{}. Make both bool{} and bool_lax{}
ignore trailing whitespace.
- prevent non-panic DKIM error from being sent to paniclog
- added tcp_wrappers_daemon_name to allow host entries other than
"exim" to be used
- Fix malware regression for cmdline scanner introduced in PP/08.
Notification from Dr Andrew Aitchison.
- Change ClamAV response parsing to be more robust and to handle ClamAV's
ExtendedDetectionInfo response format.
Notification from John Horne.
- OpenSSL 1.0.0a compatibility const-ness change, should be backwards
compatible.
- Added a CONTRIBUTING file. Fixed the documentation build to use http:
XSL and documented dependency on system catalogs, with examples of how
it normally works.
- Added Valgrind hooks in store.c to help it capture out-of-bounds store
access.
- Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - partial fix: restrict default behaviour
of CONFIGURE_OWNER and CONFIGURE_GROUP options to no longer allow a
configuration file which is writeable by the Exim user or group.
- Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part two: extend checks for writeability
of configuration files to cover files specified with the -C option if
they are going to be used with root privileges, not just the default
configuration file.
- Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part three: remove ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY
option (effectively making it always true).
- Add TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE option to allow alternative configuration
files to be used while preserving root privileges.
- Set FD_CLOEXEC on SMTP sockets after forking in the daemon, to ensure
that rogue child processes cannot use them.
- Bugzilla 1047: change the default for system_filter_user to be the Exim
run-time user, instead of root.
- Add WHITELIST_D_MACROS option to let some macros be overriden by the
Exim run-time user without dropping privileges.
- Remove use of va_copy() which breaks pre-C99 systems. Duplicate the
result string, instead of calling string_vformat() twice with the same
arguments.
- Allow TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE only for Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER, not
for other users. Others should always drop root privileges if they use
-C on the command line, even for a whitelisted configure file.
- Turn TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE into TRUSTED_CONFIG_FILE. No prefixes.
- Fixed bug #1002 - Message loss when using multiple deliveries
