Release Notes: (The `lines' figures total .c, .h, .l, and .y files under version control. Names in parentheses are the maintainers who handled the respective change. Abbreviations: MA = Matthias Andree, ESR = Eric S. Raymond, RF = Rob Funk) fetchmail 6.3.0 (not yet released officially): SECURITY FIX: * The POP3 UIDL code doesn't sufficiently validate/truncate the input length, so a (malicious or compromised) server that sends UIDs longer than 128 bytes can corrupt fetchmail's stack and crash fetchmail. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable to inject code run in a root shell. This is tracked under the CVE Name: CAN-2005-2335 OTHER CHANGES: * Sunil Shetye's fix to force fetchsizelimit to 1 for APOP and RPOP. (ESR) * PopDel.py removed from contrib at author's request. (ESR) * Matthias Andree's fix for Sunil Shetye's fetch-split patch. (ESR) * Include James Stone's moldremover.py script. (ESR) * Enable .fetchmailrc permissions checking under Cygwin. (ESR) * Nalin Dahyabai's fix for POP3 strong authentication. (ESR) * Revised Nalin Dahyabai's fix for POP3 strong authentication (the original version would go into an infinite loop when CAPA failed; found by David Greaves.) (MA) * HOME_ETC patch for PLD Linux. (ESR) * Sunil Shetye's fix for SSL configuration. (ESR) * Simon Josefsson's patch for GSS library support. (ESR) * Added Andrey Lelikov's recipe for Hotmail and Lycos Webmail. (ESR) * Remove blank between MAIL FROM: and <, which causes Cyrus to complain. Patch by Phil Endecott. (RF) * Switched to automake. Matthias Andree. * Build fixes for HESIOD and resolv.h trouble on FreeBSD. (MA) * Fabrice Bellet's fix for Red Hat bug #113492, fetchmail hangs in IMAP mode after EXPUNGE when the server (Dovecot 0.99.10) doesn't update RECENT and EXISTS counts. (MA) * Holger Mauermann's bounce patch, to use a NULL envelope from, not write a Return-Path header (both to meet RFC-2821), changed From, added Subject header, rewording the human readable part. Fixes Debian bug #316446. (MA) * Merge Sunil Shetye's time.h handling fix. (MA) * Merge Gerd von Egidy's patch to avoid a segfault in multidrop/received mode when the Received: headers are malformatted. (MA) * MIME-encode bodies and Subject headers of warning messages, limiting the header to 7 bits. (MA) * Normalize most locale codesets to IANA codesets, based on norm_charmap.c by Markus Kuhn. (MA) * Remove sleep(3) after POP3 login, patch by Brian Candler. (MA) * Fix option parsing bug that trashes the showdots setting when more than one server is configured. Patch by Brian Candler. (MA) * Honor sslcertpath setting even if sslcertck is unset. Patch by Brian Candler. (MA) * SSL certificate checking fixes, don't display same error message twice in succession, make sure that Common Name and fingerprint checking are only done once. Print all validation warnings/errors even if not in verbose mode. Patch by Brian Candler. (MA) * Import Bjorn Reese and Daniel Stenberg's MIT-licensed Trio 1.10 from http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/ for systems that do not support snprintf or vsnprintf. (MA) * Clean up the horrible #ifdef HAVE_[V]SNPRINTF that made the code unreadable. Use Trio where [v]snprintf is/are missing. (MA) * Default to Linux 2.2 /proc/net/dev format, and use uname(2) to determine the kernel version instead of calling uname(1). Thanks to Paul Slootman. (MA) * Be more careful when swapping UID lists or writing the .fetchids file, requested by Manfred Weihs. (MA) * Print a warning if multidrop configuration is attempted without envelope option. (MA) * Split information on fetchmail versions before 6.0.0 to a separate OLDNEWS file. (MA) * Merge SuSE patches: (sent by Stanislav Brabec, merged by Matthias Andree) - f
