Audit + other array indexing. This bug is not believed to be + exploitable. Noted by Michal Zalewski of the "Internet for + Schools" project (IdS). + Add an FFR (for future release) to drop privileges when using + address test mode. This will be turned on in 8.12. It can + be enabled by compiling with: + APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_TESTMODE_DROP_PRIVS') + in your devtools/Site/site.config.m4 file. Suggested by + Michal Zalewski of the "Internet for Schools" project (IdS). + Fix potential problem with Cyrus-SASL security layer which may have + caused I/O errors, especially for mechanism DIGEST-MD5. + When QueueSortOrder was set to host, sendmail might not read + enough of the queue file to determine the host, making the + sort sub-optimal. Problem noted by Jeff Earickson of + Colby College. + Don't issue DSNs for addresses which use the NOTIFY parameter (per + RFC 1891) but don't have FAILURE as value. + Initialize Cyrus-SASL library before the SMTP daemon is started. + This implies that every change to SASL related files requires + a restart of the daemon, e.g., Sendmail.conf, new SASL + mechanisms (in form of shared libraries). + Properly set the STARTTLS related macros during a queue run for + a cached connection. Bug reported by Michael Kellen of + NxNetworks, Inc. + Log the server name in relay= for ruleset tls_server instead of the + client name. + Include original length of bad field/header when reporting + MaxMimeHeaderLength problems. Requested by Ulrich Windl of + the Universitat Regensburg. + Fix delivery to set-user-ID files that are expanded from aliases in + DeliveryMode queue. Problem noted by Ric Anderson of the + University of Arizona. + Fix LDAP map -m (match only) flag. Problem noted by Jeff Giuliano + of Collective Technologies. + Avoid using a negative argument for sleep() calls when delaying answers + to EXPN/VRFY commands on systems which respond very slowly. + Problem noted by Mikolaj J. Habryn of Optus Internet + Engineering. + Make sure the F=u flag is set in the default prog mailer + definition. Problem noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish + Meteorological Institute. + Fix IPv6 check for unspecified addresses. Patch from + Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project. + Fix return values for IRIX nsd map. From Kari Hurtta of the Finnish + Meteorological Institute. + Fix parsing of DaemonPortOptions and ClientPortOptions. Read all + of the parameters to find Family= setting before trying to + interpret Addr= and Port=. Problem noted by Valdis + Kletnieks of Virginia Tech. + When delivering to a file directly from an alias, do not call + initgroups(); instead use the DefaultUser group information. + Problem noted by Marc Schaefer of ALPHANET NF. + RunAsUser now overrides the ownership of the control socket, if + created. Otherwise, sendmail can not remove it upon + close. Problem noted by Werner Wiethege. + Fix ConnectionRateThrottle counting as the option is the number of + overall connections, not the number of connections per + socket. A future version may change this to per socket + counting. + Portability: + Clean up libsmdb so it functions properly on platforms + where sizeof(u_int32_t) != sizeof(size_t). Problem + noted by Rein Tollevik of Basefarm AS. + Fix man page formatting for compatibility with Solaris' + whatis. From Stephen Gildea of InTouch Systems, Inc. + UnixWare 7 includes snprintf() support. From Larry + Rosenman. + IPv6 changes for platforms using KAME. Patch from + Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project. + Avoid a typedef compile conflict with Berkeley DB 3.X and + Solaris 2.5 or earlier. Problem noted by Bob Hughes + of Pacific Access. + Add preliminary support for AIX 5. Contributed by + Valdis Kletnieks of Virginia Tech. + Solaris 9 load average support from Andrew Tucker of Sun + Microsystems. + CONFIG: Reject addresses of the form a!b if FEATURE(`nouucp', `r') + is used. Problem noted by Phil Homewood of Asia Online, + patch from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University. + CONFIG: Change the default DNS based blacklist server for + FEATURE(`dnsbl') to blackholes.mail-abuse.org. + CONFIG: Deal correctly with the 'C' flag in {daemon_flags}, i.e., + implicitly assume canonical host names. + CONFIG: Deal with "::" in IPv6 addresses for access_db. Based on + patch by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University. + CONFIG: New OSTYPE(`aix5') contributed by Valdis Kletnieks of + Virginia Tech. + CONFIG: Pass the illegal header form <list:;> through untouched + instead of making it worse. Problem noted by Motonori + Nakamura of Kyoto University. + CONTRIB: Added buildvirtuser (see `perldoc contrib/buildvirtuser`). + CONTRIB: qtool.pl: An empty queue is not an error. Problem noted + by Jan Krueger of digitalanswers communications consulting + gmbh. + CONTRIB: domainmap.m4: Handle domains with '-' in them. From Mark + Roth of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. + DEVTOOLS: Change the internal devtools OS, REL, and ARCH m4 + variables into bldOS, bldREL, and bldARCH to prevent + namespace collisions. Problem noted by Motonori Nakamura + of Kyoto University. + RMAIL: Undo the 8.11.1 change to use -G when calling sendmail. It + causes some changes in behavior and may break rmail for + installations where sendmail is actually a wrapper to + another MTA. The change will re-appear in a future + version. + SMRSH: Use the vendor supplied directory on HPUX 10.X, HPUX 11.X, + and SunOS 5.8. Requested by Jeff A.
