http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667 Summary: Dovecot authentication bug - missing close Product: Exim Version: 4.69 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: SMTP Authentication AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [email protected] On Jul 31, 2007 11:42 AM, Chris Laif <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi. I'm using SMTP auth with Exim authenticating against Dovecot's auth socket. The (excellent) SMTP test tool "swaks" (http://jetmore.org/john/code/#swaks) tries multiple auth mechanismus consecutively which leads to the following message in Dovecot's log file: Error: auth(default): BUG: Authentication client gave a PID 6738 of existing connection This bug can be fixed by adding a "close(fd);" in src/auths/dovecot.c. Without the close()-call Exim does not shut down the connection and a subsequent connection (announcing the same client PID during handshake) will fail. You'll most likely see the above warning message if a SMTP client tries multiple auth mechanisms with a wrong password. Would be nice to have this fixed upstream in the Exim source.
