23 May '18

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.36.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.36.tar.gz.sig This is the last planned v2.2.x release. We didn't fix everything reported (especially build changes) to try to minimize any unexpected breakages. v2.3.2 will be out with a lot of fixes hopefully in a few weeks. That will start becoming the recommended version to run then. * login-proxy: If ssl_require_crl=no, allow revoked certificates. Also don't do CRL checks for incoming client certificates. * stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io. This may still cause security problems if the process is ptrace()d at the same time. Instead, open it while still running as root. + doveadm: Added mailbox cache decision&remove commands. See doveadm-mailbox(1) man page for details. + doveadm: Added rebuild attachments command for rebuilding $HasAttachment or $HasNoAttachment flags for matching mails. See doveadm-rebuild(1) man page for details. + cassandra: Use fallback_consistency on more types of errors - cassandra: Fix consistency=quorum to work - dsync: Lock file generation failed if home directory didn't exist - In some configs if namespace root directory didn't yet exist, Dovecot failed to create mailboxes.lock when trying to create mailboxes - Snippet generation for HTML mails didn't ignore &entities inside blockquotes, producing strange looking snippets. - imapc: Fix assert-crash if getting disconnected and after reconnection all mails in the selected mailbox are gone. - pop3c: Handle unexpected server disconnections without assert-crash - fts: Fixes to indexing mails via virtual mailboxes. - fts: If mails contained NUL characters, the text around it wasn't indexed. - Obsolete dovecot.index.cache offsets were sometimes used. Trying to fetch a field that was just added to cache file may not have always found it. - dict-sql: Fix crash when reading NULL value from database

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.24.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.36.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's a first release candidate for the upcoming Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.2.36. It only contains bugfixes for now. There's one experimental plugin still in the pipeline. Changelog v0.4.24: - Fix assert panics triggered by empty messages that are being forwarded using redirect or vnd.dovecot.report. This does not likely normally occur, but this is seen as a result of certain benign failures in object storage. - Make the length of the subject header for the vacation response configurable and enforce the limit in UTF-8 codepoints rather than bytes. The subject header for a vacation response was statically truncated to 256 bytes, which is too limited for multi-byte UTF-8 characters. - Sieve editheader extension: Fix assertion panic occurring when it is used to manipulate a message header with a very large header field. - Properly abort execution of the sieve_discard script upon error. Before, the LDA Sieve plugin attempted to execute the sieve_discard script when an error occurs. This can lead to the message being lost. - Fix the interaction between quota and the sieve_discard script. When quota was used together with a sieve_discard script, the message delivery did not bounce when the quota was exceeded. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Please test this RC well, so we'll have a good final release! v2.3.2 is still going to take a couple of months before it's ready. * login-proxy: If ssl_require_crl=no, allow revoked certificates. Also don't do CRL checks for incoming client certificates. * stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io.

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.1 for Dovecot v2.3.1.
by Stephan Bosch 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole release that goes with Dovecot v2.3.1. You will need this release for Dovecot v2.3.1, because the previous v0.5.0.1 release will not work. Apart from compatibility changes, it only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.5.1: - Explicitly disallow UTF-8 in localpart in addresses parsed from Sieve script. - editheader extension: Corrected the stream position calculations performed while making the modified message available as a stream. Pigeonhole Sieve crashed in LMTP with an assertion panic when the Sieve editheader extension was used before the message was redirected. Experiments indicate that the problem occurred only with LMTP and that LDA is not affected. - fileinto extension: Fix assert panic occurring when fileinto is used without being listed in the require line, while the copy extension is listed there. This is a very old bug. - imapsieve plugin: Do not assert crash or log an error for messages that disappear concurrently while applying Sieve scripts. This event is now logged as a debug message. - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.1.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.1.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Release 2.3.1
by aki.tuomi＠dovecot.fi 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hi! We are releasing v2.3.1, which mostly consists of bug fixes for 2.3.0, and few improvements. This is also available via https://repo.dovecot.org if you want packages. libsodium support didn't get into this build, due to build environment issues, but 2.3.2 will contain it. * Submission server support improvements and bug fixes - Lots of bug fixes to submission server * API CHANGE: array_idx_modifiable will no longer allocate space - Particularly affects how you should check MODULE_CONTEXT result, or use REQUIRE_MODULE_CONTEXT. + mail_attachment_detection_options setting controls when $HasAttachment and $HasNoAttachment keywords are set for mails. + imap: Support fetching body snippets using FETCH (SNIPPET) or (SNIPPET (LAZY=FUZZY)) + fs-compress: Automatically detect whether input is compressed or not. Prefix the compression algorithm with "maybe-" to enable the detection, for example: "compress:maybe-gz:6:..." + Added settings to change dovecot.index* files' optimization behavior. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles#Settings + Auth cache can now utilize auth workers to do password hash verification by setting auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes. + Added charset_alias plugin. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/CharsetAlias + imap_logout_format and pop3_logout_format settings now support all of the generic variables (e.g. %{rip}, %{session}, etc.) -- Aki Tuomi Dovecot oy

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.23 for Dovecot v2.2.35.
by Stephan Bosch 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.35 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bug fixes. However, considering the rather nasty editheader bug that emerged in the previous release, upgrade is recommended. Changelog v0.4.23: - editheader extension: Corrected the stream position calculations performed while making the modified message available as a stream. Pigeonhole Sieve crashed in LMTP with an assertion panic when the Sieve editheader extension was used before the message was redirected. Experiments indicate that the problem occurred only with LMTP and that LDA is not affected. - fileinto extension: Fix assert panic occurring when fileinto is used without being listed in the require line, while the copy extension is listed there. This is a very old bug. - imapsieve plugin: Do not log an error for messages that disappear concurrently while applying Sieve scripts. This is a further improvement on the imapsieve fix in the previous release (which fixed a panic). This event is now logged as a debug message. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.22 for Dovecot v2.2.34.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.34 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.4.22: - Fixed filesystem path handling problem: sieve plugin could have assert-crashed with specific path lengths with: "Panic: file realpath.c: line 86 (path_normalize): assertion failed: (npath_pos + 1 < npath + asize)". - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. - editheader extension: Extensively reworked the low-level implementation of adding and removing headers. This solves a few integer arithmetic problems reported by Clang runtime checks, but also improves code structure and reliability in general. - imapsieve: Fix assert crash occurring when selected messages are expunged concurrently by the time Sieve filter is to be applied. - imap4flags extension: Fix binary byte-code corruption occurring when the setflag, addflag, or removeflag command's flag-list is a variable. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify extension: mailto method: Make sure "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. It sometimes erroneously applied another layer of MIME header encoding. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

v2.3.0.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz.sig Small patch release to fix the worst bugs in v2.3.0. v2.3.1 is coming in about a month with a lot more changes. * CVE-2017-15130: TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted. This happens only if Dovecot config has local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks and attacker uses randomly generated SNI servernames. * CVE-2017-14461: Parsing invalid email addresses may cause a crash or leak memory contents to attacker. For example, these memory contents might contain parts of an email from another user if the same imap process is reused for multiple users. First discovered by Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos. Independently also discovered by "flxflndy" via HackerOne. * CVE-2017-15132: Aborted SASL authentication leaks memory in login process. * Linux: Core dumping is no longer enabled by default via PR_SET_DUMPABLE, because this may allow attackers to bypass chroot/group restrictions. Found by cPanel Security Team. Nowadays core dumps can be safely enabled by using "sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2". If the old behaviour is wanted, it can still be enabled by setting: import_environment=$import_environment PR_SET_DUMPABLE=1 - imap-login with SSL/TLS connections may end up in infinite loop
