Friday 15th September 2023

    • Corrections to better accommodate Windows path separators

Local Packages

Monday 18th September 2023

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot:

  • Update dovecot to 2.3.21

    • lib-oauth2: Allow JWT tokens to be validated with missing typ field

      • The typ field is left out by some key issuers to conserve space, notably kubernetes

      • Now, missing typ is tolerated but if present it still must be "jwt"

    • auth: Auth passdb and userdb reply can contain "event_<name>=value", which will be added to login event and mail user event respectively

    • lib-master: Set process title during various initialization stages to clearly describe what the process is waiting on

    • lib-storage: The mail_temp_scan_interval is now fuzzed, incrementing it by 0..30% based on username's hash to reduce the chance of load spikes

    • lib-storage: The temp file scan has been moved from the open of the mailbox to the close, to reduce the latency perceived by users

    • stats: If metric has fields specified, all these fields are exported as counters to prometheus exposition

    • See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/openmetrics/

    • *-login: Processes might have crashed when a SSL connection disconnects uncleanly

    • acl: When plugin was loaded \HasChildren and \HasNoChildren flags were calculated incorrectly for mailboxes containing '*' and '%' in their names

    • auth: Crash occured if a connection to PostgreSQL database server failed during startup

    • auth: Logins with invalid passwords (e.g. unknown scheme) in passdb were failing with "password mismatch" instead of "internal error"

    • auth: XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER mechanisms were not giving out protocol specific error message on all errors, which especially broke OIDC discovery

    • dbox: When last_temp_file_scan header wasn't set (especially after dsync migration), the next mailbox open always triggers the temp file scan; this could have caused a load spike after migrations (fixed by using the mailbox directory's atime when the header isn't set, which usually moves the scan time into the future)

    • dict-redis: A crash would occur on transaction rollback

    • dsync: Infinite loop causing out of memory would occur when handling mailbox deletion from remote end and hierarchy separators would differ

    • dsync: Incremental dsync failed for folder names ending with '%', unless BROKENCHAR was set; also folder names with '%' elsewhere in them caused each incremental dsync to unnecessarily rename the folder to a temporary name and back (v2.3.19 regression)

    • imap-hibernate: If an IMAP client unhibernation timed out with "(version received)", the unhibernation could still have successfully finished later on and continued working normally, which was rather confusing, because imap-hibernate already logged that the client got disconnected; avoid this by forcing the connection to shutdown on unhibernation timeout

    • imapc: Crashed when a folder mapped through the virtual plugin disappears from the storage

    • imapc: EXPUNGE, EXISTS or FETCH replies from a server for a previously selected mailbox could have been processed as if they belonged to the new mailbox currently being selected; this could have caused warnings

    • lib-http: Dovecot HTTP server (doveadm, stats/openmetrics) may have disconnected HTTP clients before the response is fully sent; this happened only on busy servers where kernel's socket buffers were rather full

    • lib-http: Fixed a potential crash on http-server if a client disconnected early (v2.3.18 regression)

    • lib-index: Index file corruption could have caused a crash

    • Fixes: Panic: file mail-transaction-log-view.c: line 165 (mail_transaction_log_view_set): assertion failed: (min_file_seq <= max_file_seq).

    • lib-index: Purging an existing >1GB cache file can crash; now, cache files still above 1GB after purging are removed

    • Fixes: Panic: file mail-index-util.c: line 10 (mail_index_uint32_to_offset): assertion failed: (offset < 0x40000000)

    • lib-lua: A HTTP client could not resolve DNS names in mail processes, because it expected "the dns-client" socket to exist in the current directory

    • lib-oauth2: Dovecot would send client_id and client_secret as POST parameters to the introspection server; these need to be optionally in Basic auth instead

    • lib-oauth2: JWT aud validation was not performed if aud was missing from a token, but was configured on Dovecot

    • lib-oauth2: JWT key type check was too strict

    • lib-oauth2: JWT token audience was not validated against client_id as required by the specification

    • lib-ssl-iostream: Using the ssl_require_crl=yes setting may have caused CRL check failures for outgoing SSL/TLS connections, although it was supposed to affect checking CRLs only for client-side SSL certificates (v2.3.17 regression)

    • lib-sql: MySQL driver leaked memory when connection failed

    • lib-storage: Various fixes when running into out of disk space

    • master: Service idle_kill setting didn't work properly on busy servers

      • It was very unlikely that any process was idling long enough to become killed

      • Also, the idle_kill handling code was using quite a lot of CPU on the master process when there were a lot of processes (e.g. imap)

      • The new behaviour is to track the lowest number of idling processes every idle_kill time interval and then kill that many idling processes

    • mdbox: Temp file scan was done for always empty directories

    •  mdbox: The fdatasync() call was done in wrong parent directory when writing mails (also on a failure it crashed instead of logging an error)

    • notify_status: The plugin crashes if any user initialization fails

    • pop3: Sending command with the ':' character caused an assert-crash (v2.3.18 regression)

    • Fixes: Panic: event_reason_code_prefix(): name has ':'

    • stats: Fix panic when a nonexistent event exporter was referenced while adding a new metric dynamically via doveadm stats add; this produces a proper error now

    • stats: If process exported a lot of events and then exited, some of the last events may have become lost

    • stats: Invalid Prometheus label names were created with specific histogram group_by configurations; Prometheus rejected these labels

    • welcome: The plugin didn't execute in some situations that created INBOX but didn't open it, e.g. if GETMETADATA was used before the INBOX was opened

  • Update pigeonhole to 0.5.21

    • sieve: Using the deleteheader action on a message with a broken/invalid header can cause the Sieve interpreter to crash with an assert panic; this can happen e.g. when the message is missing the empty EOH line between the headers and the body of the message

    • Fixes: Panic: file edit-mail.c: line 820 (edit_mail_headers_parse): assertion failed: (body_offset > 0).

    • sieve: Pigeonhole added an extra Message-ID header during mail forwarding when the existing one was invalid; now it adds the Message-ID only if it is entirely missing - existing Message-ID(s) are left unchanged
