This listing shows the version of the sendmail binary, the version
of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
summary of the changes in that release.
+8.13.6/8.13.6 2006/03/22
+ SECURITY: Replace unsafe use of setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in the server
+ and client side of sendmail with timeouts in the libsm I/O
+ layer and fix problems in that code. Also fix handling of
+ a buffer in sm_syslog() which could have been used as an
+ attack vector to exploit the unsafe handling of
+ setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) in combination with signals.
+ Problem detected by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force.
+ Handle theoretical integer overflows that could triggered if
+ the server accepted headers larger than the maximum
+ (signed) integer value. This is prevented in the default
+ configuration by restricting the size of a header, and on
+ most machines memory allocations would fail before reaching
+ those values. Problems found by Phil Brass of ISS.
+ If a server returns 421 for an RSET command when trying to start
+ another transaction in a session while sending mail, do
+ not trigger an internal consistency check. Problem found
+ by Allan E Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
+ If a server returns a 5xy error code (other than 501) in response
+ to a STARTTLS command despite the fact that it advertised
+ STARTTLS and that the code is not valid according to RFC
+ 2487 treat it nevertheless as a permanent failure instead
+ of a protocol error (which has been changed to a
+ temporary error in 8.13.5). Problem reported by Jeff
+ A. Earickson of Colby College.
+ Clear SMTP state after a HELO/EHLO command. Patch from John
+ Myers of Proofpoint.
+ Observe MinQueueAge option when gathering entries from the queue
+ for sorting etc instead of waiting until the entries are
+ processed. Patch from Brian Fundakowski Feldman.
+ Set up TLS session cache to properly handle clients that try to
+ resume a stored TLS session.
+ Properly count the number of (direct) child processes such that
+ a configured value (MaxDaemonChildren) is not exceeded.
+ Based on patch from Attila Bruncsak.
+ LIBMILTER: Remove superfluous backslash in macro definition
+ (libmilter.h). Based on patch from Mike Kupfer of
+ Sun Microsystems.
+ LIBMILTER: Don't try to set SO_REUSEADDR on UNIX domain sockets.
+ This generates an error message from libmilter on
+ Solaris, though other systems appear to just discard the
+ request silently.
+ LIBMILTER: Deal with sigwait(2) implementations that return
+ -1 and set errno instead of returning an error code
+ directly. Patch from Chris Adams of HiWAAY Informations
+ Services.
+ Portability:
+ Fix compilation checks for closefrom(3) and statvfs(2)
+ in NetBSD. Problem noted by S. Moonesamy, patch from
+ Andrew Brown.
+
+8.13.5/8.13.5 2005/09/16
+ Store the filesystem identifier of the df/ subdirectory (if it
+ exists) in an internal structure instead of the base
+ directory. This structure is used decide whether there
+ is enough free disk space when selecting a queue, hence
+ without this change queue selection could fail if a df/
+ subdirectory exists and is on a different filesystem
+ than the base directory.
+ Use the queue index of the df file (instead of the qf file) for
+ checking whether a link(2) operation can be used to split
+ an envelope across queue groups. Problem found by
+ Werner Wiethege.
+ If the list of items in the queue is larger than the maximum
+ number of items to process, sort the queue first and
+ then cut the list off instead of the other way around.
+ Patch from Matej Vela of Rudjer Boskovic Institute.
+ Fix helpfile to show full entry for ETRN. Problem noted by
+ Penelope Fudd, patch from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois
+ University.
+ FallbackSmartHost should also be tried on temporary errors.
+ From John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
+ When a server responds with 421 to the STARTTLS command then treat
+ it as a temporary error, not as protocol error. Problem
+ noted by Andrey J. Melnikoff.
+ Properly define two functions in libsm as static because their
+ prototype used static too. Patch from Peter Klein.
+ Fix syntax errors in helpfile for MAIL and RCPT commands.
+ LIBMILTER: When smfi_replacebody() is called with bodylen equals
+ zero then do not silently ignore that call. Patch from
+ Gurusamy Sarathy of Active State.
+ LIBMILTER: Recognize "421" also in a multi-line reply to terminate
+ the SMTP session with that error. Fix from Brian Kantor.
+ Portability: New option HASSNPRINTF which can be set if the OS
+ has a properly working snprintf(3) to get rid
+ of the last two (safe) sprintf(3) calls in the
+ source code.
+ Add support for AIX 5.3.
+ Add support for SunOS 5.11 (aka Solaris 11).
+ Add support for Darwin 8.x. Patch from Lyndon Nerenberg.
+ OpenBSD 3.7 has removed support for NETISO.
+ CONFIG: Add OSTYPE(freebsd6) for FreeBSD 6.X.
+ Set DontBlameSendmail to AssumeSafeChown and
+ GroupWritableDirPathSafe for OSTYPE(darwin).
+ Patch from Lyndon Nerenberg.
+ Some features still used 4.7.1 as enhanced status code which
+ was supposed to be eliminated in 8.13.0 because some
+ broken systems misinterpret it as a permanent error.
+ Patch from Matej Vela of Rudjer Boskovic Institute.
+ Some default values in a generated cf file did not match
+ the defaults in the sendmail binary. Problem noted
+ by Mike Pechkin.
+ New Files:

8.13.4/8.13.4 2005/03/27
The bug fixes in 8.13.3 for connection handling uncovered a
different error which could result in connections that
