[Dovecot] Segfault in managesieve with "sieve_extensions = -redirect"
Hi!
I've got a segfault in managesieve while using: sieve_extensions = -vacation -reject -spamtest -virustest -enotify -redirect
The problem seems to lie in "-redirect".
Reason for excluding "redirect" from sieve is my users should not use sieve to forward or redirect mails but use an external method (web-script to set LDAP attribute) which checks several things like active spam-checker, existing target mailbox, etc.
The version ov dovecot ist 1:2.0.9-1~3.gbp785ad1~dvz60+1 on Debian Squeeze which is from the Debian maintainers git repository recompiled on Squeeze (I know, pretty wild.)

Yeah, so?
I don't need autosubscritption, a global path or autocreation of folders. Of course those config options are missing then.
My config is from a working example, I can toggle between "works fine" and "managesieve process segfaults" by removing or adding "-redirect" to the sieve_extensions parameter.

The problem seems to lie in "-redirect".
The redirect command is part of the Sieve core specification and it is thus no extension. It's availability can therefore not be disabled using the sieve_extensions setting.
When I wouldn't have made a bug here, you would have been warned with the following message:
"ignored unknown extension 'redirect' while configuring available extensions"
Instead, you got a segfault, which is now fixed:
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole/rev/bb26cdb18bdf

Hmm, considering what Sieve RFC 5228 says:
"Implementations MAY ignore a redirect action silently due to policy reasons. For example, an implementation MAY choose not to redirect to an address that is known to be undeliverable. Any ignored redirect MUST NOT cancel the implicit keep." (page 24)
"(2) MUST provide the means for administrators to limit the ability of users to abuse redirect. In particular, it MUST be possible to limit the number of redirects a script can perform. Additionally, if no use cases exist for using redirect to multiple destinations, this limit SHOULD be set to 1. Additional limits, such as the ability to restrict redirect to local users, MAY also be implemented." (page 38)
"Allowing redirects at all may not be appropriate in situations where email accounts are freely available and/or not trackable to a human who can be held accountable for creating message bombs or other abuse." (page 39)
Unfortunately, we currently don't have a means to actually disable redirect. The number of redirects can be limited using the existing sieve_max_redirects option, but a value of 0 stands for 'unlimited', meaning that 1 is the minimum. In hindsight, this was a really bad choice :)
So we have two options: - Change the meaning of 0 for sieve_max_redirects. It's quite likely no one has set this to 0. - Add a separate setting to disable redirect, e.g. sieve_redirect_disable.
Not sure what to choose yet.
Regards,
Stephan.

OK, already thought so after inspecting the RfC.

Which would have caused a mail from me, why "redirect" is an unknown extension. ;)
"Implementations MAY ignore a redirect action silently due to policy reasons."
This fits my use case. redirects/forwards are configured differently here and I need to disable redirect, because I _know_ some of my students will figure out, how to circumvent some restrictions we enforce on mail forwarding. Especially the students fromt the Computer Science department. :)

Use "-1" to disable it?

Doesn't seem that bad.. Like you said, probably will affect zero to very few people. Would of course be nice if this happened only when Dovecot's minor version changed (to v2.1), i.e. when people are expecting a little bit of backwards incompatible changes. I think v2.1.0 will be out before summer.
- Add a separate setting to disable redirect, e.g. sieve_redirect_disable.
Extra settings are always annoying.
Use "-1" to disable it?
In general Dovecot settings don't currently have negative values. It would either generate an error or change the value to 2^32-1, which would be better for the unlimited value.
