Hello,
we can reproduce a bug where lmtp crashes:
LMTP telnet session:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 lisa.m-otion.at Dovecot ready.

mail from:xyz@m-otion.at
250 2.1.0 OK
rcpt to:
test . Connection closed by foreign host.
/var/log/messages tells me: Nov 11 00:07:00 mail kernel: lmtp[15868]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002b1960d01d70 rsp 00007fff3fa95908 error 4
pigeonhole 0.4.2, dovecot 2.2.6
and this is what I found out: If you use a sieve script containing the following line notify :method "mailto" :options "xyz" :message "$from$*#+$subject$";
and send a mail without a Subject: header line lmtp crashes. The bug is related to the sieve module in /src/lib-sieve/plugins/notify/ext-notify-common.c:266. The line contains only a check if mail_get_headers_utf8 returns an error. So the workaround for this line would be to add a check if header[0] is not NULL.
if ( (mail_get_headers_utf8(msgdata->mail, "subject", &header) >= 0) && header[0] )
str_append(out_msg, header[0]);
IMHO this patch should be applied to the "$from$" replacement as well. The comments in the dovecot's header file says for mail_get_headers: Returns -1 if error, 0 otherwise (with or without headers found).
hope it helps,
Regards Christian Ferbar
