2011-01-21Bump version to 4.74.Phil Pennock
Docs deliberately keep changebars since v4.72 as 4.73 has not been out for long. OptionLists updates for dynamic modules and for the security changes from 4.73.
2011-01-21IncompatibleChanges out, README.UPDATING updated.Phil Pennock
I forgot about README.UPDATING and introduced a new txt file with the 4.73 release, noting incompatible changes. Because these weren't documented in the normal place, some people missed them. Mea culpa. Integrated the notes from IncompatibleChanges into README.UPDATING. Added a note on the ABI of the dynlookups.
2011-01-21Check return values of setgid/setuid.Phil Pennock
CVE-2011-0017 One assertion of the unimportance of checking the return value was wrong, in the event of a compromised exim run-time user.
2011-01-21Version reporting & module ABI change.Phil Pennock
Debug version display reports library info. Bumps lookup API magic constant, adds new field to module API. When invoking { exim -d -bV } we can display more version information. Show versions for many external libraries, including both compile-time and run-time information if we can. Optional for modules, may be NULL. Implemented for MySQL, SQLite & Whoson lookups. For all lookups, if dynamically loaded, report the Exim version number from the build. (Packagers will bundle stuff, but dynamic modules are no longer just available for packagers, so we need to deal with less managed environments and people forgetting to install new modules). Suggest in EDITME that users of modules not using package management consider embedding a version number in the path to the modules. Should consider removing the TLS (OpenSSL/GnuTLS) reporting from the default -bV display and moving it into the debug display. Not done. Created version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors who patch heavily. Henceforth release engineer should change the version in version.h not version.c.
2011-01-17Mention new dlopen functionality.Phil Pennock
2011-01-16Clarify: tls_verify_certificates is for CA certs.Phil Pennock
It can be used for individual user certs but is really intended for CAs. Note this, and explain that if the tls_verify_certificates value is a file, then the certs within are sent from the server to clients, thus is public data.
2011-01-16Let /dev/null have normal permissions.Phil Pennock
The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the permissions on /dev/null. Exempt it from some checks. Reported by Andreas M. Kirchwitz
2011-01-16Bug 139: portability fixes and documentation.Phil Pennock
Document the dynamic lookup module capability in spec.xfpt. Include a ChangeLog item. Avoid the GNU-specific "export" make(1) directive. Build the lookups Makefile using the existing framework. Build with BSD Make once more. The src/lookups/Makefile that is used at build time now has the dynamic content come from scripts/lookups-Makefile. Add CFLAGS_DYNAMIC support, which can be set in Local/Makefile. Provide defaults for Linux & FreeBSD. Ensure that build fails early if a dynamic module is requested but CFLAGS_DYNAMIC is not defined.

2010-12-15Allow only Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER to use whitelisted configs with -CDavid Woodhouse
We only added TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE to compensate for the enforcing of ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY. Let's not open it up any further than we need to; other users don't get to make use of it.

2010-12-14Change the default for system_filter_user.Phil Pennock
If the system filter needs to be run as root, let that be explicitly configured. The default is now the Exim run-time user. Document this, and a couple of other points, in IncompatibleChanges.

2010-12-12Remove ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY build option, effectively making it always true.David Woodhouse
We *never* want the Exim user to be able to specify arbitrary configuration files. Don't let them build it that way. (Bug 1044, CVE-2010-4345)

(Bug 1044, CVE-2010-4345)
2010-12-11Add Valgrind hooks for memory poolsDavid Woodhouse
It's useful to tell Valgrind when memory is undefined because it's been freed by store_reset(), and when it's not supposed to be accessed because although it's been allocated for the store it hasn't actually been given out by store_get() yet.

2010-06-09Minor doc updates:Phil Pennock
* -bmalware, note that not running as invoking user and emphasize that it's for debugging Exim, not for general scanning. * permit_codedump ? coRedump. * Anon SSL lacking cert has been confirmed, fix works, remove the "(I believe)" (which also might have been inferred to mean I did the diagnosis; I didn't, I just convinced myself that Martin's analysis was correct).

2010-06-07Added bool_lax{} expansion operator, which uses Router condition logic toPhil Pennock
