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.
2010-12-12Set FD_CLOEXEC on SMTP sockets after forking to handle the connection.David Woodhouse
2010-12-12Add TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE optionDavid Woodhouse
(Bug 1044, CVE-2010-4345)
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)
2010-12-11Check configure file permissions even for non-default files if still privilegedDavid Woodhouse
(Bug 1044, CVE-2010-4345)
2010-12-11Don't allow a configure file which is writeable by the Exim user or groupDavid Woodhouse
(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.

(I honestly have no memory of writing this patch...)
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).
2010-06-07Both bool{} and bool_lax{} should ignore trailing whitespace.Phil Pennock
2010-06-07Added bool_lax{} expansion operator, which uses Router condition logic toPhil Pennock
determine whether or not a string is true. Switch the multiple-condition logic to use bool_lax{}. Add note where we combine multiple conditions regarding the memory leak.
2010-06-07Allow Routers to have multiple conditions, IF each one yields a strict bool.Phil Pennock
Fixes: #816

2010-06-05Deal with anonymous SSL giving us no peer certificate.Phil Pennock
2010-06-05Handle SASL Initial Response.Phil Pennock
See discussion at: http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20090125.014515.3746c882.en.html and the code is "correct by inspection", for whatever that's worth.
2010-06-05Add permit_coredump pipe transport option. Fixes: #834Phil Pennock
2010-06-05Add an openssl_options main configuration option, to allow administrators toPhil Pennock
shoot themselves in each foot in turn. The default value is chosen to avoid a change in behaviour, but since it is disabling a security countermeasure, I'd like to change the default to be "no options". Fixes: #994
2010-06-03Added DISABLE_DKIM option to EDITME, leaving some breadcrumbs about it being ↵John Jetmore
turned on by default
2010-06-03Include check_rfc2047_length in configure.default to raise the visibilityPhil Pennock
because we're seeing more Russian administrators get bitten by this. Idealism says this option is set correctly by default. Pragmatism says not. There's a good argument for the idealism but if we see the problems escalate then the idealism will have lost and we should, IMO, switch.
