2013-04-01Clean & integrate force_command.Phil Pennock
Work by J. Nick Koston, for cPanel, Inc.
2013-04-01Add the force_command option to the pipe transportJ. Nick Koston
Normally when a router redirects an address directly to a pipe command the command option on the transport is ignored. If force_command is set, the command option will expanded and used. This is especially useful for forcing a wrapper or additional argument to be added to the command.
2013-03-25OCSP-stapling enhancement and testing.Jeremy Harris
Server: Honor environment variable as well as running_in_test_harness in permitting bogus staplings Update server tests Add "-ocsp" option to client-ssl. Server side: add verification of stapled status. First cut server-mode ocsp testing. Fix some uninitialized ocsp-related data. Client (new): Verify stapling using only the chain that verified the server cert, not any acceptable chain. Add check for multiple responses in a stapling, which is not handled Refuse verification on expired and revoking staplings. Handle OCSP client refusal on lack of stapling from server. More fixing in client OCSP: use the server cert signing chain to verify the OCSP info. Add transport hosts_require_ocsp option. Log stapling responses. Start on tests for client-side. Testing support: Add CRL generation code and documentation update Initial CA & certificate set for testing. BUGFIX: Once a single OCSP response has been extracted the validation routine return code is no longer about the structure, but the actual returned OCSP status.
2013-03-23Rename dns_use_dnssec to dns_dnssec_ok.Phil Pennock
This per Tony's suggestion; this makes it clearer that we are merely setting resolver flags, not performing validation ourselves. Well, clearer to those who understand DNSSEC. For everyone else, they'll still be dependent upon a forthcoming new chapter to the Specification.
2013-03-13OpenSSL fix empty tls_verify_certificates.Phil Pennock
New behaviour matches GnuTLS handling, and is documented. Previously, a tls_verify_certificates expansion forced failure was the only portable way to avoid setting this option. Now, an empty string is equivalent.
2013-03-11configure.default handle IPv6 localhost better.Phil Pennock
Base patch by Alain Williams. Tweaked, to avoid putting an IPv6-dependency into the default uncommented form, and some rewording. Bugzilla 880. GitHub PR #1.

2013-01-06Restrict lifetime of $router_name and $transport_name. Bug 308.Jeremy Harris
The router name is explicitly nulled after the router exits; the transport name is set only in the subprocess it runs in.

2012-12-20GnuTLS-FAQ: typo fixes & glitch re standard primesPhil Pennock
Mostly typos. Was one instance of "which a future release of Exim will probably support" which should already have been "which Exim now supports". Doh. Fixed too.
2012-12-11Document scripts/lookups-Makefile for new lookups.Phil Pennock
Missing step for adding a new lookup noticed by Paul Gamble.
2012-12-09OCSP/SNI: set correct callback.Phil Pennock
Caught by Jeremy; was wrong in (my) original commit, the dual-TLS work had just renamed the variables and theoretically made it more visible. I still missed it. The server_sni context initialisation was setting the OCSP status callback context parameter back on the original server_ctx instead of the new server_sni context. I guess OCSP and SNI aren't being used together in Exim much yet.

2012-12-06Fix my earlier "fix" for intermittently deliverable recipients.Tony Finch
Only do the ultimate address timeout check if there is an address retry record and there is not a domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use this as an approximation for the destination being like a local delivery, as in LMTP.
2012-12-06Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.Tony Finch
Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header Resent-From: f When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the username as equal to the username. This change corrects that bug.

2012-11-25Revert copyright years to manual-update. Bug 1318.Jeremy Harris
2012-11-24Insert version number and date into documentation at build time. Bug 1318.Jeremy Harris
Write a temp file with macro definitions from the makefile, and include it from the doc sources. Pass the version to make from the perl script. It is still needed to manually update the previous-version number and changebar indicators (.new/.wen) manually.
2012-11-19Dovecot: robustness; better msg on missing mech.Phil Pennock
If the dovecot protocol response doesn't include the MECH message for the SMTP AUTH protocol the client has requested, that's not a protocol failure, don't log it as such. Instead, explicitly log that it didn't advertise the mechanism we're looking for. This lets administrators fix either their Exim or their Dovecot configurations. Also: make the Dovecot handling more resistant to bad data from the auth server; handle too many fields with debug-log message to explain what's going on, permit lines of 8192 length per spec and detect if the line is too long, so that we can fail auth instead of becoming unsynchronised. Stop using the CUID from the server as the AUTH id counter. They're different, by my reading of the spec. TESTED: works against Dovecot 2.1.10. Thanks to Brady Catherman for reporting the problem with diagnosis.

2012-10-24SECURITY: DKIM DNS buffer overflow protectionPhil Pennock
CVE-2012-5671 malloc/heap overflow, with a 60kB window of overwrite. Requires DNS under control of person sending email, leaves plenty of evidence, but is very likely exploitable on OSes that have not been well hardened.
