v2.3.18 2022-02-03 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* Removed mail_cache_lookup_finished event. This event wasn't especially
useful, but it increased CPU usage significantly.
* fts: Don't index inline base64 encoded content in FTS indexes using
the generic tokenizer. This reduces the FTS index sizes by removing
input that is very unlikely to be searched for. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/tokenization for
details on how base64 is detected. Only applies when using libfts.
* lmtp: Session IDs are now preserved through proxied connections, so
LMTP sessions can be tracked. This slightly changes the LMTP session
ID format by appending ":Tn" (transaction), ":Pn" (proxy connection)
and ":Rn" (recipient) counters after the session ID prefix.
+ Events now have "reason_code" field, which can provide a list of
reasons why the event is happening. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/event_reasons/
+ New events are added. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/
+ fts: Added fts_header_excludes and fts_header_includes settings to
specify which headers to index. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin#plugin-fts-setting-fts-header-excludes
for configuration details.
+ fts: Initialize the textcat language detection library only once per
process. This can reduce CPU usage if fts_languages setting has multiple
languages listed and service indexer-worker { service_count } isn't 1.
Only applies when using libfts.
+ lib-storage: Reduced CPU usage significantly for some operations that
accessed lots of emails (e.g. fetching all flags in a folder, SORT, ...)
+ lib: DOVECOT_PREREQ() - Add micro version which enables compiling
external plugins against different versions of Dovecot.
+ lmtp: Added new lmtp_verbose_replies setting that makes errors sent to
the LMTP client much more verbose with details about why exactly
backend proxy connections or commands are failing.
+ submission: Support implicit SASL EXTERNAL with
submission_client_workarounds=implicit-auth-external. This allows
automatically logging in when SSL client certificate is present.
- *-login: Statistics were disabled if stats process connection was lost.
- auth: Authentication master user login fails with SCRAM-* SASL mechanisms.
- auth: With auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes, passdb extra
fields in the auth cache got lost.
- doveadm: Fixed crash if zlib_save_level setting was specified,
but zlib_save was unset. v2.3.15 regression.
- doveadm: Proxying can panic when flushing print output. v2.3.17
regression. Fixes:
Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed:
(ioloop == current_ioloop)
- doveadm: stats add --group-by parameter didn't work.
- fts: Using email-address fts tokenizer could result in excessive memory
usage with garbage email input. This could cause the indexer-worker
processes to fail due to reaching the VSZ memory size limit.
Only applies when using libfts.
- imap: A SEARCH command timing out while fts returns indexes may timeout
returning "NO [SERVERBUG]", while it should return "NO [INUSE]" instead.
- imap: LIST-EXTENDED doesn't return STATUS for all folders. Sending
LIST .. RETURN (SUBSCRIBED STATUS (...)) did not return STATUS for
folders that are not subscribed when they have a child folder that is
subscribed as mandated by IMAP RFCs.
- imapc: Mailbox vsize calculation crashed with
Panic: file index-mailbox-size.c: line 344 (index_mailbox_vsize_hdr_add_missing):
assertion failed: (mails_left > 0)
- indexer: If indexer-worker crashes, the request it was processing gets
stuck in the indexer process. This stops indexing for the folder until
indexer process is restarted. v2.3.14 regression.
- indexer: Process was slowly leaking memory for each indexing request.
- lib-event: Unnamed events were wrongly filtered out for event/metric
filters like "event=abc OR something_independent_of_event_name".
- lib-index: 64-bit big endian CPUs handle last_used field in
dovecot.index.cache wrong.
- lib-ssl-iostream: Fix buggy OpenSSL error handling without assert-crashing.
If there is no error available, log it as an error instead of crashing.
The previous fix for this in v2.3.11 was incomplete. Fixes
Panic: file istream-openssl.c: line 51 (i_stream_ssl_read_real):
assertion failed: (errno != 0)
- lmtp: Out-of-memory issues can happen when proxying large messages to
LMTP backend servers that accept the message data too slow.
- master: HAProxy header parsing has read buffer overflow if provided
header size is invalid. This happens only if inet_listener
{ haproxy=yes } is configured and only if the remote IP address is in
haproxy_trusted_networks.
- old_stats: Plugin kept increasing memory usage, which became
noticeable with long-running imap sessions.
- stats: Dynamically adding same metric multiple times causes multiple stats.
- submission-login: Authentication does not accept OAUTH2 token (or
other very long credentials) because it considers the line to be too long.
- submission-login: Process can crash if HELO is pipelined with an
invalid domain.
- submission-proxy: Don't use SASL-IR if it would make the AUTH command
line longer than 512 bytes.
- submission: Service would crash if relay server authentication failed.
- virtual: FTS search in a virtual folder could crash if there are
duplicate mailbox GUIDs. This mainly happened when user had both INBOX
and INBOX/INBOX folders and the namespace prefix was INBOX/. Fixes
Panic: file hash.c: line 252 (hash_table_insert_node):
assertion failed: (opcode == HASH_TABLE_OP_UPDATE)
- virtual: If mailbox opening fails, the backend mailbox is leaked and
process crashes when client disconnects. Fixes
Panic: file mail-user.c: line 232 (mail_user_deinit):
assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1)
- virtual: Searching headers in virtual folders didn't always use
full-text search indexes, if fts_enforced=no or body.
v2.3.17.1 2021-12-07 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
- dsync: Add back accidentically removed parameters.
- lib-ssl-iostream: Fix assert-crash when OpenSSL returned syscall error
without errno.
- master: Dovecot failed to start if ssl_ca was too large.
v2.3.17 2021-10-28 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* Dovecot now logs a warning if time seems to jump forward at least
100 milliseconds.
* dict: Lines logged by the dict process now contain the dict name as
the prefix.
* lib-index: mail_cache_fields, mail_always_cache_fields and
mail_never_cache_fields now verifies that the listed header names are
valid. Especially the UTF8 "–" character has sometimes been wrongly
used instead of the ASCII "-".
+ *-login: Added login_proxy_rawlog_dir setting to capture
rawlogs between proxy and backend.
+ dict: The server process now keeps the last 10 idle dict backends
cached for maximum of 30 seconds. Practically this acts as a
connection pool for dict-redis and dict-ldap. Note that this doesn't
affect dict-sql, because it already had its own internal cache.
+ doveadm: New stats add/remove commands added to support changing the
metrics configuration on runtime.
+ lazy_expunge: Added lazy_expunge_exclude settings to disable
lazy_expunge for specific folders. \Special-use flags can be used as
folder names.
+ lib-lua: Added a new helper function dovecot.restrict_global_variables()
to disable or enable defining new global variables.
- LAYOUT=index List index rebuild was missing.
- LAYOUT=index: Duplicate GUIDs were not detected.
- acl: When using acl_ignore_namespace Dovecot attempted to access or
create dovecot-acl-list even when the namespace should have been
ignored. For virtual namespaces this could have yielded errors about
"Read-only file system" or "Permission denied".
- auth: Setting the "master" passdb field to empty value would
cause proxying to fail with an authentication error.
Now an empty "master" field is ignored.
- doveadm-server: Duplicate error lines were sent for failed commands.
This didn't normally cause visible problems, except when using
wildcards in usernames or -A parameter to go through multiple users.
- doveadm-server: Logs written by doveadm-server were often missing log
prefixes, especially mail_log_prefix for mail commands. Logs sent to
doveadm TCP client were also missing log prefixes.
- doveadm: v2.3 regression: batch command always crashes.
- doveadm: v2.3.11 regression: Commands failed if ssl_cert or
ssl_key files weren't readable by the user running doveadm, even
though doveadm didn't actually use these settings
- imap-hibernate: Process may crash at deinit:
Panic: file ioloop.c: line 928 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed:
(ioloop->cur_ctx == NULL).
- imap: Using imap_fetch_failure=no-after can cause assert-crash
with some IMAP commands if reading the mail fails (e.g. wrong cached
mail size). Fixes:
Panic: file index-mail-headers.c: line 198 (index_mail_parse_header_init):
assertion failed: (!mail->data.header_parser_initialized)
- imap: v2.3.10 regression: When using INDEXPVT to enable private
\Seen flags (for shared or public namespaces) the STORE command did
not send untagged replies for the \Seen flag changes.
- imap: v2.3.15 regression: If PREVIEW/SNIPPET is not the final FETCH
option in the command, the IMAP FETCH response is broken.
- imap: v2.3.15 regression: MOVE command leaks mailbox if it can't be
opened and crashes at deinit:
Panic: file mail-user.c: line 229 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed:
((*user)->refcount == 1).
- imapc: Copying nonexistent mail via imapc could have crashed. Fixes:
Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 2385 (mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes):
assertion failed: (ret < 0 || seq_range_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == save_count ||
array_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == 0).
- indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process crashes if indexer-client
disconnects while it's waiting for command reply. This happened for
example if IMAP SEARCH triggered long fts indexing and the IMAP
client disconnected while waiting for the reply.
- indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process may have crashed in some situations.
- indexer: v2.3.15 regression: indexer-worker processes may not have
reached the process_limit in some situations, possibly even using just
one indexer-worker process even though there were many indexing
requests queued.
- lib-compression: Reading lz4 compressed mdbox mails may crash. Fixes:
Panic: file istream.c: line 345 (i_stream_read_memarea):
assertion failed: (!stream->blocking).
- lib-compression: bench-compress crashes due to xz being read-only.
- lib-lua: Fix linking libdict_lua for non-GNU linkers when Lua support
is disabled.
- lib-mail: There was no limit on how large an email header name could be.
Processable header names are now limited to 1000 bytes.
- lib-oauth2: Dovecot disallowed JWT tokens if their validity time was
older than token creation time (nbf < iat).
- lib-storage: Reduce memory footprint of certain storage operations.
- lib-storage: When listing mailboxes with storage name escape
characters (^ or .) as part of the mailbox name, the listing could
show corrupted mailbox names. Due to an issue in handling escaped
parent folders, the listing of other mailbox names would become
corrupted by prepending parts of the previously listed mailboxes
parent folder as prefix to the actual mailbox names. The corruption
can occur when using LAYOUT=INDEX and maildir or obox, or when using
the listescape plugin.
- mail-crypt: Fix "-O" argument for "doveadm mailbox cryptokey password"
command to be a boolean, and not expect a string.
- submission-login: Add support for not authenticating to next hop in
submission proxying.
- submission-login: EHLO was not sent again after XCLIENT when doing
submission proxying.
- virtual: Mailboxes do not correctly detect underlying mailboxes
getting re-created even though they have a different UIDVALIDITY or
GUID.
v2.3.16 2021-08-06 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen@open-xchange.com>
* Any unexpected exit() will now result in a core dump. This can
especially help notice problems when a Lua script causes exit(0).
* auth-worker process is now restarted when the number of auth
requests reaches service auth-worker { service_count }. The default
is still unlimited.
+ Event improvements: Added data_stack_grow event and http-client
category. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/
+ oauth2: Support RFC 7628 openid-configuration element. This allows
clients to support OAUTH2 for any server, not just a few hardcoded
servers like they do now. See openid_configuration_url setting in
dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext.
+ mysql: Single statements are no longer enclosed with BEGIN/COMMIT.
+ dovecot-sysreport --core supports multiple core files now and does
not require specifying the binary path.
+ imapc: When imap_acl plugin is loaded and imapc_features=acl is used,
IMAP ACL commands are proxied to the remote server. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/imapc/
+ dict-sql now supports the "UPSERT" syntax for SQLite and PostgreSQL.
+ imap: If IMAP client disconnects during a COPY command, the copying
is aborted, and changes are reverted. This may help to avoid many
email duplicates if client disconnects during COPY and retries it
after reconnecting.
- master process was using 100% CPU if service attempted to create more
processes due to process_min_avail, but process_limit was already
reached. v2.3.15 regression.
- Using attachment detection flags wrongly logged unnecessary "Failed
to add attachment keywords" errors. v2.3.13 regression.
- IMAP QRESYNC: Expunging UID 1 mail resulted in broken VANISHED
response, which could have confused IMAP clients. v2.3.13 regression.
- imap: STORE didn't send untagged replies for \Seen changes for
(shared) mailboxes using INDEXPVT. v2.3.10 regression.
- rawlog_dir setting would not log input that was pipelined after
authentication command.
- Fixed potential infinite looping with autoexpunging.
- Log event exporter: Truncate long fields to 1000 bytes
- LAYOUT=index: ACL inheritance didn't work when creating mailboxes
- Event filters: Unquoted '?' wildcard caused a crash at startup
- fs-metawrap: Fix to handling zero sized files
- imap-hibernate: Fixed potential crash at deinit.
- acl: dovecot-acl-list files were written for acl_ignore_namespaces
- program-client (used by Sieve extprograms, director_flush_socket)
may have missed status response from UNIX and network sockets,
resulting in unexpected failures.
v2.3.15 2021-06-21 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2021-29157: Dovecot does not correctly escape kid and azp fields in
JWT tokens. This may be used to supply attacker controlled keys to
validate tokens, if attacker has local access.
* CVE-2021-33515: On-path attacker could have injected plaintext commands
before STARTTLS negotiation that would be executed after STARTTLS
finished with the client.
* Disconnection log messages are now more standardized across services.
They also always now start with "Disconnected" prefix.
* Dovecot now depends on libsystemd for systemd integration.
* Removed support for Lua 5.2. Use version 5.1 or 5.3 instead.
* config: Some settings are now marked as "hidden". It's discouraged to
change these settings. They will no longer be visible in doveconf
output, except if they have been changed or if doveconf -s parameter
is used. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/advanced/ for details.
* imap-compress: Compression level is now algorithm specific.
See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/compress-plugin/
* indexer-worker: Convert "Indexed" info logs to an event named
"indexer_worker_indexing_finished". See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#indexer-worker-indexing-finished
+ Add TSLv1.3 support to min_protocols.
+ Allow configuring ssl_cipher_suites. (for TLSv1.3+)
+ acl: Add acl_ignore_namespace setting which allows to entirely ignore
ACLs for the listed namespaces.
+ imap: Support official RFC8970 preview/snippet syntax. Old methods of
retrieving preview information via IMAP commands ("SNIPPET and PREVIEW
with explicit algorithm selection") have been deprecated.
+ imapc: Support INDEXPVT for imapc storage to enable private
message flags for cluster wide shared mailboxes.
+ lib-storage: Add new events: mail_opened, mail_expunge_requested,
mail_expunged, mail_cache_lookup_finished. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail
+ zlib, imap-compression, fs-compress: Support compression levels that
the algorithm supports. Before, we would allow hardcoded value between
1 to 9 and would default to 6. Now we allow using per-algorithm value
range and default to whatever default the algorithm specifies.
- *-login: Commands pipelined together with and just after the authenticate
command cause these commands to be executed twice. This applies to all
protocols that involve user login, which currently comprises of imap,
pop3, submisision and managesieve.
- *-login: Processes are supposed to disconnect the oldest non-logged in
connection when process_limit was reached. This didn't actually happen
with the default "high-security mode" (with service_count=1) where each
connection is handled by a separate process.
- *-login: When login process reaches client/process limits, oldest
client connections are disconnected. If one of these was still doing
anvil lookup, this caused a crash. This could happen only if the login
process limits were very low or if the server was overloaded.
- Fixed building with link time optimizations (-flto).
- auth: Userdb iteration with passwd driver does not always return all
users with some nss drivers.
- dsync: Shared INBOX not synced when "mail_shared_explicit_inbox" was
disabled. If a user has a shared mailbox which is another user's INBOX,
dsync didn't include the mailbox in syncing unless explicit naming is
enabled with "mail_shared_explicit_inbox" set to "yes".
- dsync: Shared namespaces were not synced with "-n" flag.
- dsync: Syncing shared INBOX failed if mail_attribute_dict was not set.
If a user has a shared mailbox that is another user's INBOX, dsync
failed to export the mailbox if mail attributes are disabled.
- fts-solr, fts-tika: Using both Solr FTS and Tika may have caused HTTP
requests to assert-crash: Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1232
(http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL)
- fts-tika: 5xx errors returned by Tika server as indexing failures.
However, Tika can return 5xx for some attachments every time.
So the 5xx error should be retried once, but treated as success if it
happens on the retry as well. v2.3 regression.
- fts-tika: v2.3.11 regression: Indexing messages with fts-tika may have
resulted in Panic: file message-parser.c: line 802 (message_parser_deinit_from_parts):
assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count == 0 || i_stream_have_bytes_left(ctx->input))
- imap: SETMETADATA could not be used to unset metadata values.
Instead NIL was handled as a "NIL" string. v2.3.14 regression.
- imap: IMAP BINARY FETCH crashes at least on empty base64 body:
Panic: file index-mail-binary.c: line 358 (blocks_count_lines):
assertion failed: (block_count == 0 || block_idx+1 == block_count)
- imap: If IMAP client using the NOTIFY command was disconnected while
sending FETCH notifications to the client, imap could crash with
Panic: Trying to close mailbox INBOX with open transactions.
- imap: Using IMAP COMPRESS extension can cause IMAP connection to hang
when IMAP commands are >8 kB long.
- imapc: If remote server sent BYE but didn't immediately disconnect, it
could cause infinite busy-loop.
- lib-index: Corrupted cache record size in dovecot.index.cache file
could have caused a crash (segfault) when accessing it.
- lib-oauth2: JWT token time validation now works correctly with
32-bit systems.
- lib-ssl-iostream: Checking hostnames against an SSL certificate was
case-sensitive.
- lib-storage: Corrupted mime.parts in dovecot.index.cache may have
resulted in Panic: file imap-bodystructure.c: line 206 (part_write_body):
assertion failed: (text == ((part->flags & MESSAGE_PART_FLAG_TEXT) != 0))
- lib-storage: Index rebuilding (e.g. via doveadm force-resync) didn't
preserve the "hdr-pop3-uidl" header. Because of this, the next pop3
session could have accessed all of the emails' metadata to read their
POP3 UIDL (opening dbox files).
- listescape: When using the listescape plugin and a shared namespace
the plugin didn't work properly anymore resulting in errors like:
"Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' character."
- lmtp: Connection crashes if connection gets disconnected due to
multiple bad commands and the last bad command is BDAT.
- lmtp: The Dovecot-specific LMTP parameter XRCPTFORWARD was blindly
forwarded by LMTP proxy without checking that the backend has support.
This caused a command parameter error from the backend if it was
running an older Dovecot release. This could only occur in more complex
setups where the message was proxied twice; when the proxy generated
the XRCPTFORWARD parameter itself the problem did not occur, so this
only happened when it was forwarded.
- lmtp: The LMTP proxy crashes with a panic when the remote server
replies with an error while the mail is still being forwarded through
a DATA/BDAT command.
- lmtp: Username may have been missing from lmtp log line prefixes when
it was performing autoexpunging.
- master: Dovecot would incorrectly fail with haproxy 2.0.14 service
checks.
- master: Systemd service: Dovecot announces readiness for accepting
connections earlier than it should. The following environment variables
are now imported automatically and can be omitted from
import_environment setting: NOTIFY_SOCKET LISTEN_FDS LISTEN_PID.
- master: service { process_min_avail } was launching processes too
slowly when master was forking a lot of processes.
- util: Make the health-check.sh example script POSIX shell compatible.
v2.3.14.1 2021-06-21 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2021-29157: Dovecot does not correctly escape kid and azp fields in
JWT tokens. This may be used to supply attacker controlled keys to
validate tokens, if attacker has local access.
* CVE-2021-33515: On-path attacker could have injected plaintext commands
before STARTTLS negotiation that would be executed after STARTTLS
finished with the client.
- lib-index: Corrupted mime.parts in dovecot.index.cache may have
resulted in Panic: file imap-bodystructure.c: line 206 (part_write_body):
assertion failed: (text == ((part->flags & MESSAGE_PART_FLAG_TEXT) != 0))
- imap: SETMETADATA could not be used to unset metadata values.
Instead NIL was handled as a "NIL" string. v2.3.14 regression.
V2.3.14 2021-03-04 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* Added new aliases for some variables. Usage of the old ones is possible,
but discouraged. (These were partially added already to v2.3.13.)
See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_variables/
for more information.
* Optimize imap/pop3/submission/managesieve proxies to use less CPU at
the cost of extra memory usage.
* Remove autocreate, expire, snarf and mail-filter plugins.
* Remove cydir storage driver.
* Remove XZ/LZMA write support. Read support will be removed in future release.
* doveadm -D: Add timestamps to debug output even when LOG_STDERR_TIMESTAMP
environment variable is not set. Timestamp format is taken from
log_timestamp setting.
* If BROKENCHAR or listescape plugin is used, the escaped folder names
may be slightly different from before in some situations. This is
unlikely to cause issues, although caching clients may redownload the
folders.
* imapc: It now enables BROKENCHAR=~ by default to escape remote folder
names if necessary. This also means that if there are any '~'
characters in the remote folder names, they will be visible as "~7e".
* imapc: When using local index files folder names were escaped on
filesystem a bit differently. This affects only if there are folder
names that actually require escaping, which isn't so common. The old
style folders will be automatically deleted from filesystem.
* stats: Update exported metrics to be compliant with OpenMetrics standard.
+ doveadm: Add an optional '-p' parameter to metadata list command. If
enabled, "/private", and "/shared" metadata prefixes will be prepended
to the keys in the list output.
+ doveconf: Support environment variables in config files. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_file_syntax/#environment-variables
for more details.
+ indexer-worker: Change indexer to disconnect from indexer-worker
after each request. This allows service indexer-worker's service_count &
idle_kill settings to work. These can be used to restart indexer-worker
processes once in a while to reduce their memory usage.
- auth: "nodelay" with various authentication mechanisms such as apop
and digest-md5 crashed AUTH process if authentication failed.
- auth: Auth lua script generating an error triggered an assertion
failure: Panic: file db-lua.c: line 630 (auth_lua_call_password_verify):
assertion failed: (lua_gettop(script->L) == 0).
- configure: Fix libunwind detection to work on other than x86_64 systems.
- doveadm-server: Process could crash if logging was done outside command
handling. For example http-client could have done debug logging
afterwards, resulting in either segfault or Panic:
file http-client.c: line 642 (http_client_context_close):
assertion failed: (cctx->clients_list == NULL).
- dsync: Folder name escaping with BROKENCHAR didn't work completely
correctly. This especially caused problems with dsync-migrations using
imapc where some of the remote folder names may not have been accessible.
- dsync: doveadm sync + imapc doesn't always sync all mails when doing
an incremental sync (-1), which could lead to mail loss when it's used
for migration. This happens only when GUIDs aren't used (i.e.
imapc without imapc_features=guid-forced).
- fts-tika: When tika server returns error, some mails cause Panic:
file message-parser.c: line 802 (message_parser_deinit_from_parts):
assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count == 0 || i_stream_have_bytes_left(ctx->input))
- lib-imap: imapc parsing illegal BODYSTRUCTUREs with NILs could have
resulted in crashes. This exposed that Dovecot was wrongly accepting
atoms in "nstring" handling. Changed the IMAP parsing to be more
strict about this now.
- lib-index: If dovecot.index.cache has corrupted message size, fetching
BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE may cause assert-crash:
Panic: file index-mail.c: line 1140 (index_mail_parse_body_finish):
assertion failed: (mail->data.parts != NULL).
- lib-index: Minor error handling and race condition fixes related to
rotating dovecot.index.log. These didn't usually cause problems,
unless the log files were rotated rapidly.
- lib-lua: Lua scripts using coroutines or lua libraries using coroutines
(e.g., cqueues) panicked.
- Message PREVIEW handled whitespace wrong so first space would get
eaten from between words.
- FTS and message PREVIEW (snippet) parsed HTML &entities case-sensitively.
- lib-mail: When max nested MIME parts were reached, IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE
was written in a way that may have caused confusion for IMAP clients
and also Dovecot itself when parsing it. The truncated part is now
written out using application/octet-stream MIME type.
- lib-oauth2: HS512 and HS384 JWT token algorithms crash when you try to
use them: Panic: file hmac.c: line 26 (hmac_init): assertion failed:
(meth->context_size <= MAC_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE).
- event filters: NOT keyword did not have the correct associativity.
NOT a AND b were getting parsed as NOT (a AND b) instead of
(NOT a) AND b.
- Ignore ECONNRESET when closing socket. This avoids logging useless
errors on systems like FreeBSD.
- event filters: event filter syntax error may lead to Panic:
file event-filter.c: line 137 (event_filter_parse): assertion failed:
(state.output == NULL)
- lib: timeval_cmp_margin() was broken on 32-bit systems. This could
potentially have caused HTTP timeouts to be handled incorrectly.
- log: instance_name wasn't used as syslog ident by the log process.
- master: After a service reached process_limit and client_limit, it
could have taken up to 1 second to realize that more client connections
became available. During this time client connections could have been
unnecessarily rejected and a warning logged:
Warning: service(...): process_limit (...) reached, client connections are being dropped
- stats: Crash would occur when generating openmetrics data for metrics
using aggregating functions.
- stats: Event filters comparing against empty strings crash the stats
process.
v2.3.13 2021-01-04 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2020-24386: Specially crafted command can cause IMAP hibernate to
allow logged in user to access other people's emails and filesystem
information.
* Metric filter and global event filter variable syntax changed to a
SQL-like format. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/event_filter/
* auth: Added new aliases for %{variables}. Usage of the old ones is
possible, but discouraged.
* auth: Removed RPA auth mechanism, SKEY auth mechanism, NTLM auth
mechanism and related password schemes.
* auth: Removed passdb-sia, passdb-vpopmail and userdb-vpopmail.
* auth: Removed postfix postmap socket
+ auth: Added new fields for auth server events. These fields are now
also available for all auth events. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#authentication-server
for details.
+ imap-hibernate: Added imap_client_hibernated, imap_client_unhibernated
and imap_client_unhibernate_retried events. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for details.
+ lib-index: Added new mail_index_recreated event. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail-index-recreated
+ lib-sql: Support TLS options for cassandra driver. This requires
cpp-driver v2.15 (or later) to work reliably.
+ lib-storage: Missing $HasAttachment / $HasNoAttachment flags are now
added to existing mails if mail_attachment_detection_option=add-flags
and it can be done inexpensively.
+ login proxy: Added login_proxy_max_reconnects setting (default 3) to
control how many reconnections are attempted.
+ login proxy: imap/pop3/submission/managesieve proxying now supports
reconnection retrying on more than just connect() failure. Any error
except a non-temporary authentication failure will result in reconnect
attempts.
- auth: Lua passdb/userdb leaks stack elements per call, eventually
causing the stack to become too deep and crashing the auth or
auth-worker process.
- auth: SASL authentication PLAIN mechanism could be used to trigger
read buffer overflow. However, this doesn't seem to be exploitable in
any way.
- auth: v2.3.11 regression: GSSAPI authentication fails because dovecot
disallows NUL bytes for it.
- dict: Process used too much CPU when iterating keys, because each key
used a separate write() syscall.
- doveadm-server: Crash could occur if logging was done outside command
handling. For example http-client could have done debug logging
afterwards, resulting in either segfault or
Panic: file http-client.c: line 642 (http_client_context_close):
assertion failed: (cctx->clients_list == NULL).
- doveadm-server: v2.3.11 regression: Trying to connect to doveadm server
process via starttls assert-crashed if there were no ssl=yes listeners:
Panic: file master-service-ssl.c: line 22 (master_service_ssl_init):
assertion failed: (service->ssl_ctx_initialized).
- fts-solr: HTTP requests may have assert-crashed:
Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1232 (http_client_request_send_more):
assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL)
- imap: IMAP NOTIFY could crash with a segmentation fault due to a bad
configuration that causes errors. Sending the error responses to the
client can cause the segmentation fault. This can for example happen
when several namespaces use the same mail storage location.
- imap: IMAP NOTIFY used on a shared namespace that doesn't actually
exist (e.g. public namespace for a nonexistent user) can crash with a panic:
Panic: Leaked view for index /tmp/home/asdf/mdbox/dovecot.list.index: Opened in (null):0
- imap: IMAP session can crash with QRESYNC extension if many changes
are done before asking for expunged mails since last sync.
- imap: Process might hang indefinitely if client disconnects after
sending some long-running commands pipelined, for example FETCH+LOGOUT.
- lib-compress: Mitigate crashes when configuring a not compiled in
compression. Errors with compression configuration now distinguish
between not supported and unknown.
- lib-compression: Using xz/lzma compression in v2.3.11 could have
written truncated output in some situations. This would result in
"Broken pipe" read errors when trying to read it back.
- lib-compression: zstd compression could have crashed in some situations:
Panic: file ostream.c: line 287 (o_stream_sendv_int): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking)
- lib-dict: dict client could have crashed in some rare situations when
iterating keys.
- lib-http: Fix several assert-crashes in HTTP client.
- lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: When mails were expunged at the same
time as lots of new content was being saved to the cache (e.g. cache
file was lost and is being re-filled) a deadlock could occur with
dovecot.index.cache / dovecot.index.log.
- lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: dovecot.index.cache file was being
purged (rewritten) too often when it had a field that hadn't been
accessed for over 1 month, but less than 2 months. Every cache file
change caused a purging in this situation.
- lib-mail: MIME parts were not returned correctly by Dovecot MIME parser.
Regression caused by fixing CVE-2020-12100.
- lib-mail: When max nested MIME parts were reached, IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE
was written in a way that may have caused confusion for both IMAP
clients and Dovecot itself when parsing it. The truncated part is now
written out using application/octet-stream MIME type.
- lib-mail: v2.3.11 regression: Mail delivery / parsing crashed when the
10000th MIME part was message/rfc822 (or if parent was multipart/digest):
Panic: file message-parser.c: line 167 (message_part_append):
assertion failed: (ctx->total_parts_count <= ctx->max_total_mime_parts).
- lib-oauth2: Dovecot incorrectly required oauth2 server introspection
reply to contain username with invalid token.
- lib-ssl-iostream, lib-dcrypt: Fix building with OpenSSL that has
deprecated APIs disabled.
- lib-storage: When mail's size is different from the cached one (in
dovecot.index.cache or Maildir S=size in the filename), this is
handled by logging "Cached message size smaller/larger than expected"
error. However, in some situations this also ended up crashing with:
Panic: file istream.c: line 315 (i_stream_read_memarea):
assertion failed: (old_size <= _stream->pos - _stream->skip).
- lib-storage: v2.3 regression: Copying/moving mails was taking much more
memory than before. This was mainly visible when copying/moving
thousands of mails in a single transaction.
- lib-storage: v2.3.11 regression: Searching messages assert-crashed
(without FTS): Panic: file message-parser.c: line 174 (message_part_finish):
assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0).
- lib: Dovecot v2.3 moved signal handlers around in ioloops,
causing more CPU usage than in v2.2.
- lib: Fixed JSON parsing: '\' escape sequence may have wrongly resulted
in error if it happened to be at read boundary. Any NUL characters and
'\u0000' will now result in parsing error instead of silently
truncating the data.
- lmtp, submission: Server may hang if SSL client connection disconnects
during the delivery. If this happened repeated, it could have ended
up reaching process_limit and preventing any further lmtp/submission
deliveries.
- lmtp: Proxy does not always properly log TLS connection problems as
errors; in some cases, only a debug message is logged if enabled.
- lmtp: The LMTP service can hang when commands are pipelined. This can
particularly occur when one command in the middle of the pipeline fails.
One example of this occurs for proxied LMTP transactions in which the
final DATA or BDAT command is pipelined after a failing RCPT command.
- login-proxy: The login_source_ips setting has no effect, and therefore
the proxy source IPs are not cycled through as they should be.
- master: Process was using 100% CPU in some situations when a broken
service was being throttled.
- pop3-login: POP3 login would fail with "Input buffer full" if the
initial response for SASL was too long.
- stats: Crash would occur when generating openmetrics data for metrics
using aggregating functions.
v2.3.11.3 2020-07-29 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
- pop3-login: Login didn't handle commands in multiple IP packets properly.
This mainly affected large XCLIENT commands or a large SASL initial
response parameter in the AUTH command.
- pop3: pop3_deleted_flag setting was broken, causing:

v2.3.11.2 2020-07-13 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
- auth: Lua passdb/userdb leaks stack elements per call, eventually
causing the stack to become too deep and crashing the auth or
auth-worker process.
- lib-mail: v2.3.11 regression: MIME parts not returned correctly by
Dovecot MIME parser.
- pop3-login: Login would fail with "Input buffer full" if the initial
response for SASL was too long.
v2.3.11 2020-06-17 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2020-12100: Parsing mails with a large number of MIME parts could
have resulted in excessive CPU usage or a crash due to running out of
stack memory.
* CVE-2020-12673: Dovecot's NTLM implementation does not correctly check
message buffer size, which leads to reading past allocation which can
lead to crash.
* CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command with an
address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the lmtp
service to crash.
* CVE-2020-12674: Dovecot's RPA mechanism implementation accepts
zero-length message, which leads to assert-crash later on.
* Events: Fix inconsistency in events. See event documentation in
https://doc.dovecot.org.
* imap_command_finished event's cmd_name field now contains "unknown"
for unknown commands. A new "cmd_input_name" field contains the
command name exactly as it was sent.
* lib-index: Renamed mail_cache_compress_* settings to mail_cache_purge_*.
Note that these settings are mainly intended for testing and usually
shouldn't be changed.
* events: Renamed "index" event category to "mail-index".
* events: service:<name> category is now using the name from
configuration file.
* dns-client: service dns_client was renamed to dns-client.
* log: Prefixes generally use the service name from configuration file.
For example dict-async service will now use
"dict-async(pid): " log prefix instead of "dict(pid): "
* *-login: Changed logging done by proxying to use a consistent prefix
containing the IP address and port.
* *-login: Changed disconnection log messages to be slightly clearer.
+ dict: Add events for dictionaries.
+ lib-index: Finish logging with events.
+ oauth2: Support local validation of JWT tokens.
+ stats: Add support for dynamic histograms and grouping. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/.
+ imap: Implement RFC 8514: IMAP SAVEDATE
+ lib-index: If a long-running transaction (e.g. SORT/FETCH on a huge
folder) adds a lot of data to dovecot.index.cache file, commit those
changes periodically to make them visible to other concurrent sessions
as well.
+ stats: Add OpenMetrics exporter for statistics. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/openmetrics/.
+ stats: Support disabling stats-writer socket by setting
stats_writer_socket_path="".
- auth-worker: Process keeps slowly increasing its memory usage and
eventually dies with "out of memory" due to reaching vsz_limit.
- auth: Prevent potential timing attacks in authentication secret
comparisons: OAUTH2 JWT-token HMAC, imap-urlauth token, crypt() result.
- auth: Several auth-mechanisms allowed input to be truncated by NUL
which can potentially lead to unintentional issues or even successful
logins which should have failed.
- auth: When auth policy returned a delay, auth_request_finished event
had policy_result=ok field instead of policy_result=delayed.
- auth: auth process crash when auth_policy_server_url is set to an
invalid URL.
- dict-ldap: Crash occurs if var_expand template expansion fails.
- dict: If dict client disconnected while iteration was still running,
dict process could have started using 100% CPU, although it was still
handling clients.
- doveadm: Running doveadm commands via proxying may hang, especially
when doveadm is printing a lot of output.
- imap: "MOVE * destfolder" goes to a loop copying the last mail to the
destination until the imap process dies due to running out of memory.
- imap: Running "UID MOVE 1:* Trash" on an empty folder goes to infinite
loop.
- imap: SEARCH doesn't support $.
- lib-compress: Buffer over-read in zlib stream read.
- lib-dns: If DNS lookup times out, lib-dns can cause crash in calling
process.
- lib-index: Fixed several bugs in dovecot.index.cache handling that
could have caused cached data to be lost.
- lib-index: Writing to >=1 GB dovecot.index.cache files may cause
assert-crashes:
Panic: file mail-index-util.c: line 37 (mail_index_uint32_to_offset):
assertion failed: (offset < 0x40000000)
- lib-ssl-iostream: Fix buggy OpenSSL error handling without
assert-crashing. If there is no error available, log it as an error
instead of crashing:
Panic: file iostream-openssl.c: line 599 (openssl_iostream_handle_error):
assertion failed: (errno != 0)
- lib-ssl-iostream: ssl_key_password setting did not work.
- submission: A segfault crash may occur when the client or server
disconnects while a non-transaction command like NOOP or VRFY is still
being processed.
- virtual: Copying/moving mails with IMAP into a virtual folder assert-crashes:
Panic: file cmd-copy.c: line 152 (fetch_and_copy): assertion failed:
(copy_ctx->copy_count == seq_range_count(©_ctx->saved_uids))
v2.3.10 2020-03-06 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* Disable retpoline migitations by default. These can cause severe
performance regressions, so they should be only enabled when
applicable.
* IMAP MOVE now commits transactions in batches of 1000 mails. This
helps especially with lazy_expunge when moving a lot of mails. It
mainly avoids situations where multiple IMAP sessions are running the
same MOVE command and duplicating the mails in the lazy_expunge folder.
With this change there can still be some duplication, but the MOVE
always progresses forward. Also if the MOVE fails at some point, the
changes up to the last 1000 mails are still committed instead of
rolled back. Note that the COPY command behavior hasn't changed,
because it is required by IMAP standard to be an atomic operation.
* IMAP EXPUNGE and CLOSE now expunges mails in batches of 1000 mails.
This helps especially with lazy_expunge when expunging a lot of mails
(e.g. millions) to make sure that the progress always moves forward
even if the process is killed.
* Autoexpunging now expunges mails in batches of 1000 mails. This helps
especially with lazy_expunge when expunging a lot of mails
(e.g. millions) to make sure that the progress always moves forward
even if the process is killed.
+ Add tool for generating sysreport called dovecot-sysreport.
This generates a bundle of information usually needed for support
requests.
+ Add support for the new IMAP \Important SPECIAL-USE flag (RFC 8457).
+ Add metric { group_by } setting. This allows automatically creating
new metrics based on the fields you want to group statistics by.
NOTE: This feature is considered experimental and syntax is subject
to change in future release.
+ auth: Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication mechanism.
+ imap: Support the new IMAP STATUS=SIZE extension.
+ Use TCP_QUICKACK to reduce latency for some TCP connections.
+ quota-status: Made the service more robust against erroneous use with
Postfix ACL policies other than smtpd_recipient_restrictions.
+ Add "revision" field support to imap_id_send setting. Using
"revision *" will send in IMAP ID command response the short commit
hash of the Dovecot git source tree HEAD (same as in dovecot --version).
+ IMAP ENVELOPE includes now all addresses when there are multiple
headers (From, To, Cc, etc.) The standard way of having multiple
addresses is to just list them all in a single header. It's
non-standard to have multiple headers. However, since MTAs allow these
mails to pass through and different software may handle them in
different ways, it's better from security point of view to show all
the addresses.
+ Event filters now support using "field_name=" to match a field that
doesn't exist or has an empty value. For example use "error=" to match
only events that didn't fail.
- acl: INBOX ACLs shouldn't apply for IMAP GETMETADATA/SETMETADATA
commands.
- cassandra: CASS_ERROR_SERVER_WRITE_FAILURE error should also be
treated as "uncertain write failure".
- dict-redis: Using quota_clone configured with dict-redis could have
crashed when Redis responded slowly.
- imap-hibernate: Communication trouble with imap-master leads to
segfault.
- imap-hibernate: Unhibernation retrying wasn't working.
- imap: Fixed auth lookup privilege problem when imap process was reused
and user was being un-hibernated.
- Fix potential crash when copying/moving mails within the same folder.
This happened only when there were a lot of fields in dovecot.index.cache.
- lib-index: Recreating dovecot.index.cache file could have crashed when
merging bitmask fields.
- lib-index: Using public/shared folders with INDEXPVT configured to use
private \Seen flags, trying to search seen/unseen in an empty folder
crashes with segfault.
- lib-mail: Large base64-encoded mails weren't decoded properly.
This could have affected searching/indexing mails and message snippet
generation.
- lib-mail: Message with only quoted text could have caused message
snippet to ignore its 200 character limit and return the entire
message. This was added also to dovecot.index.cache file, which
increased disk space and memory usage unnecessarily.
v2.3.9.2 regression (previous versions cached the quoted snippet as
empty). In a large mail quoted text could have become wrongly added
to the snippet, possibly mixed together with non-quoted text.
- lib-smtp: client could have assert-crashed if STARTTLS handshake
finished earlier than usually.
- lib-ssl-iostream: remove -static flag for lib-ssl-iostream linking to
prevent a compile issue.
- lib-storage: Mailbox synchronization may have assert-crashed in some
rare situations.
- lib-storage: mdbox didn't preserve date.saved with dsync.
- lib: Don't require EAI_{ADDRFAMILY,NODATA}, breaks FreeBSD
- master: Some services could respawn unthrottled if they crash during
startup.
- push-notification: Do not send push_notification_finished event if
nothing was done. This happens when mail transaction is started and
ended with no changes.
- quota-status: Addresses with special characters in the local part caused
problems in the interaction between Postfix and Dovecot. Postfix sent
its own internal representation in the recipient field, while Dovecot
expected a valid RFC5321 mailbox address.
- submission-login: SESSION was not correctly encoded field for the
XCLIENT command. Particularly, a '+' character introduced by the
session ID's Base64 encoding causes problems.
- submission: Fix submission_max_mail_size to work correctly on 32-bit
systems.
- submission: Trusted connections crashed in second connection's EHLO
if submission-login { service_count } is something else than 1 (which
is the default).
- submission: XCLIENT command was never used in the protocol exchange
with the relay MTA when submission_backend_capabilities is configured,
even when the relay MTA was properly configured to accept the XCLIENT
command.
v2.3.9.3 2020-02-12 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2020-7046: Truncated UTF-8 can be used to DoS
submission-login and lmtp processes.
* CVE-2020-7957: Specially crafted mail can crash snippet generation.
v2.3.9.2 2019-12-13 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
- Mails with empty From/To headers can also cause crash
in push notification drivers.
v2.3.9.1 2019-12-13 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* CVE-2019-19722: Mails with group addresses in From or To fields
caused crash in push notification drivers.
v2.3.9 2019-12-04 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
* Changed several event field names for consistency and to avoid
conflicts in parent-child event relationships:
* SMTP server command events: Renamed "name" to "cmd_name"
* Events inheriting from a mailbox: Renamed "name" to "mailbox"
* Server connection events have only "remote_ip", "remote_port",
"local_ip" and "local_port".
* Removed duplicate "client_ip", "ip" and "port".
* Mail storage events: Removed "service" field.
Use "service:<name>" category instead.
* HTTP client connection events: Renamed "host" to "dest_host" and
"port" to "dest_port"
* auth: Drop Postfix socketmap support. It hasn't been working
with recent Postfix versions for a while now.
* push-notification-lua: The "subject" field is now decoded to UTF8
instead of kept as MIME-encoded.
+ push-notification-lua: Added new "from_address", "from_display_name",
"to_address" and "to_display_name" fields. The display names are
decoded to UTF8.
+ Added various new fields to existing events.
See http://doc.dovecot.net/admin_manual/list_of_events.html
+ Add lmtp_add_received_header setting. It can be used to prevent LMTP
from adding "Received:" headers.
+ doveadm: Support SSL/STARTTLS for proxied doveadm connections based on
doveadm_ssl setting and proxy ssl/tls settings.
+ Log filters support now "service:<name>", which matches all events for
the given service. It can also be used as a category.
+ lib: Use libunwind to get abort backtraces with function names
where available.
+ lmtp: When the LMTP proxy changes the username (from passdb lookup)
add an appropriate ORCPT parameter.
- lmtp: Add lmtp_client_workarounds setting to implement workarounds for
clients that send MAIL and RCPT commands with additional spaces before
the path and for clients that omit <> brackets around the path.
See example-config/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf.
- lda/lmtp: Invalid MAIL FROM addresses were rejcted too aggressively.
Now mails from addresses with unicode characters are delivered, but
their Return-Path header will be <> instead of the given MAIL FROM
address.
- lmtp: The lmtp_hdr_delivery_address setting is ignored.
- imap: imap_command_finished event's "args" and "human_args" parameters
were always empty.
- mbox: Seeking in zlib and bzip2 compressed input streams didn't work
correctly.
- imap-hibernate: Process crashed when client got destroyed while it was
attempted to be unhibernated, and the unhibernation fails.
- *-login: Proxying may have crashed if SSL handshake to the backend
failed immediately. This was unlikely to happen in normal operation.
- *-login: If TLS handshake to upstream server failed during proxying,
login process could crash due to invalid memory access.
- *-login: v2.3 regression: Using SASL authentication without initial
response may have caused SSL connections to hang. This happened often
at least with PHP's IMAP library.
- *-login: When login processes are flooded with authentication attempts
it starts logging errors about "Authentication server sent unknown id".
This is still expected. However, it also caused the login process to
disconnect from auth server and potentially log some user's password
in the error message.
- dict-sql: SQL prepared statements were not shared between sessions.
This resulted in creating a lot of prepared statements, which was
especially inefficient when using Cassandra backend with a lot of
Cassandra nodes.
- auth: auth_request_finished event didn't have success=yes parameter
set for successful authentications.
- auth: userdb dict - Trying to list users crashed.
- submission: Service could be configured to allow anonymous
authentication mechanism and anonymous user access.
- LAYOUT=index: Corrupted dovecot.list.index caused folder creation to
panic.
- doveadm: HTTP server crashes if request target starts with double "/".
- dsync: Remote dsync started hanging if the initial doveadm
"dsync-server" command was sent in the same TCP packet as the
following dsync handshake. v2.3.8 regression.
- lib: Several "input streams" had a bug that in some rare situations
might cause it to access freed memory. This could lead to crashes or
corruption.
The only currently known effect of this is that using zlib plugin with
external mail attachments (mail_attachment_dir) could cause fetching
the mail to return a few bytes of garbage data at the beginning of the
header. Note that the mail wasn't saved corrupted, but fetching it
caused corrupted mail to be sent to the client.
- lib-storage: If a mail only has quoted content, use the quoted text
for generating message snippet (IMAP PREVIEW) instead of returning
empty snippet.
- lib-storage: When vsize header was rebuilt, newly calculated message
sizes were added to dovecot.index.cache instead of being directly
saved into vsize records in dovecot.index.
- lib: JSON generator was escaping UTF-8 characters unnecessarily.
v2.3.8 2019-10-08 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi@open-xchange.com>
+ Added mail_delivery_started and mail_delivery_finished events, see
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for details.
+ dsync-replication: Don't replicate users who have "noreplicate" extra
field in userdb.
+ doveadm service status: Show total number of processes created.
+ When logging to syslog, use instance_name setting's value for the
ident. This commonly is added as a log prefix.
+ Base64 encoding/decoding code was rewritten with additional features.
It shouldn't cause any user visible changes.
- v2.3.7 regression: If a folder only receives new mails without any
other mail access, dovecot.index.log keeps growing forever and
dovecot.index keeps being rewritten for every mail delivery.
- dsync-replication may lose keywords after syncing mails restored from
another replica. This only happened if the mail only had keywords and
no system flags.
- event filters: Non-textual event fields could not be filtered using
wildcards.
- auth: Scope parameter was missing from OAuth password grant
request.
- doveadm client-server communication may hang in some situations.
It is also using unnecessarily small TCP/IP packet sizes.
- doveadm who and kick did not flush protocol output correctly.
- imap: SETMETADATA with literal value would delete the metadata value
instead of updating it.
- imap: When client issues FETCH PREVIEW (LAZY=FUZZY) command, the
caching decisions should be updated so that newly saved mails will
have the preview cached.
- With mail_nfs_index=yes and/or mail_nfs_storage=yes setuid/setgid
permission bits in some files may have become dropped with some NFS
servers. Changed NFS flushing to now use chmod() instead of chown().
- quota: warnings did not work if quota root was noenforcing
- acl: Global ACL file ignored the last line if it didn't end with LF.
- doveadm stats dump: With JSON formatter output numbers using the
number type instead of as strings
- lmtp_proxy: Ensure that real_* variables are correctly set when using
lmtp_proxy.
- event exporter: http-post driver had hardcoded timeout and did not
support DNS lookups or TLS connections.
- auth: Fix user iteration to work with userdb passwd with glibc v2.28.
- auth: auth service can crash if auth-policy JSON response is invalid
or returned too fast.
- In some rare situations "ps" output could have shown a lot of "?"
characters after Dovecot process titles.
- When dovecot.index.pvt is empty, an unnecessary error is logged:
Error: .../dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
- SMTP address encoder duplicated initial double quote character when
the localpart of an address ended in '..'. For example
"user+..@example.com" became ""user+.."@example.com in a
sieve redirect.
