Fedora Project

Local Packages

  • Branched repository for Fedora 28
  • Updated dovecot (2.3.x):

    • Updated dovecot to 2.3.0.1:

      • CVE-2017-15130: TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted; this happens only if Dovecot config has local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks and attacker uses randomly generated SNI servernames

      • CVE-2017-14461: Parsing invalid email addresses may cause a crash or leak memory contents to attacker, e.g. these memory contents might contain parts of an email from another user if the same imap process is reused for multiple users

      • CVE-2017-15132: Aborted SASL authentication leaks memory in login process

      • Linux: Core dumping is no longer enabled by default via PR_SET_DUMPABLE, because this may allow attackers to bypass chroot/group restrictions; nowadays core dumps can be safely enabled by using "sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2", and if the old behaviour is wanted, it can still be enabled by setting: import_environment=$import_environment PR_SET_DUMPABLE=1

      • imap-login with SSL/TLS connections may end up in infinite loop

    • Updated pigeonhole to 0.5.0.1:

      • imap4flags extension: Fix binary corruption occurring when setflag/addflag/removeflag flag-list is a variable

      • sieve-extprograms plugin: Fix segfault occurring when used in IMAPSieve context

  • Updated dovecot (2.2.x):

    • Updated dovecot to 2.2.34:

      • CVE-2017-15130: TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted; this happens only if Dovecot config has local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks and attacker uses randomly generated SNI servernames

      • CVE-2017-14461: Parsing invalid email addresses may cause a crash or leak memory contents to attacker, e.g. these memory contents might contain parts of an email from another user if the same imap process is reused for multiple users

      • CVE-2017-15132: Aborted SASL authentication leaks memory in login process

      • Linux: Core dumping is no longer enabled by default via PR_SET_DUMPABLE, because this may allow attackers to bypass chroot/group restrictions; nowadays core dumps can be safely enabled by using "sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2", and if the old behaviour is wanted, it can still be enabled by setting: import_environment=$import_environment PR_SET_DUMPABLE=1

      • doveconf output now includes the hostname

      • New mail_attachment_detection_options setting controls when $HasAttachment and $HasNoAttachment keywords are set for mails

      • imap: Support fetching body snippets using FETCH (SNIPPET) or (SNIPPET (LAZY=FUZZY))

      • fs-compress: Automatically detect whether input is compressed or not; prefix the compression algorithm with "maybe-" to enable the detection, for example: "compress:maybe-gz:6:..."

      • Added settings to change dovecot.index* files' optimization behavior; see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles#Settings

      • Auth cache can now utilize auth workers to do password hash verification by setting auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes

      • Added charset_alias plugin (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/CharsetAlias)

      • imap_logout_format and pop3_logout_format settings now support all of the generic variables (e.g. %{rip}, %{session}, etc.)

      • Added auth_policy_check_before_auth, auth_policy_check_after_auth and auth_policy_report_after_auth settings

      • v2.2.33: doveadm-server: Various fixes related to log handling

      • v2.2.33: doveadm failed when trying to access UNIX socket that didn't require authentication

      • v2.2.33: doveadm log reopen stopped working

      • v2.2.30+: IMAP stopped advertising SPECIAL-USE capability

      • v2.2.30+: IMAP stopped sending untagged OK/NO storage notifications

      • replication: dsync sent unnecessary replication notification for changes it did internally (NOTE: Folder creates, renames, deletes and subscribes still trigger unnecessary replication notifications, but these should be rather rare)

      • mail_always/never_cache_fields setting changes weren't applied for existing dovecot.index.cache files

      • Fix compiling and other problems with OpenSSL v1.1
      • auth policy: With master user logins, lookup using login username
      • FTS reindexed all mails unnecessarily after loss of dovecot.index.cache file

      • mdbox rebuild repeatedly failed with "missing map extension"
      • SSL connections may have been hanging with imapc or doveadm client

      • cassandra: Using protocol v3 (Cassandra v2.1) caused memory leaks and also timestamps weren't set to queries
      • fs-crypt silently ignored public/private keys specified in configuration (mail_crypt_global_public/private_key) and just emitted plaintext output

      • lock_method=dotlock caused crashes

      • imapc: Reconnection may cause crashes and other errors

    • Updated pigeonhole to 0.4.22:

      • Fixed filesystem path handling problem: sieve plugin could have assert-crashed with specific path lengths with: "Panic: file realpath.c: line 86 (path_normalize): assertion failed: (npath_pos + 1 < npath + asize)"

      • Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery; fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program

      • editheader extension: Extensively reworked the low-level implementation of adding and removing headers, which solved a few integer arithmetic problems reported by Clang runtime checks, but also improves code structure and reliability in general

      • imapsieve: Fix assert crash occurring when selected messages are expunged concurrently by the time Sieve filter is to be applied

      • imap4flags extension: Fix binary byte-code corruption occurring when the setflag, addflag, or removeflag command's flag-list is a variable

      • enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part

      • enotify extension: mailto method: Make sure "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)"

      • Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages; it sometimes erroneously applied another layer of MIME header encoding
  • This build also removed tcp_wrappers support from the Fedora 28 build (Bug #1518761)

  • Updated libidn (1.33) to drop ldconfig scriptlets (replaced by RPM File Triggers) from Fedora 28 onwards

  • Updated libxml2 (2.9.7) to rebuild with new LDFLAGS from redhat-rpm-config

  • Updated nmap to add appdata file (Bug #1476506)

  • Updated perl-Hash-FieldHash (0.15) as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-Build (0.4224) not to require a compiler if c_source is an empty list (Bug #1547165, CPAN RT#124625)

  • Updated perl-Params-Classify (0.015) and perl-Params-Validate (1.29) to explicitly build-require ExtUtils::CBuilder (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1547165#c7)
