Bug ID: 2738 Summary: PID file no longer created Product: Exim Version: 4.93 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: General execution Assignee: unalloca...@exim.org Reporter: t...@treehouse.org.za CC: exim-dev@exim.org Since the latest release, no PID file is created in /run/exim4/exim.pid when Exim is run. No local configuration changes have been made between the working and non-working versions. The command line arguments are '/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m', and there are no PID-related configuration arguments set. I presume this is related to the fix for CVE-2020-28014: 'An attacker who obtained the privileges of the "exim" user can abuse the -oP override_pid_file_path option to create (or overwrite) an arbitrary file, as root'. If this new behaviour is intentional, then the documentation may need updating. This is on Ubuntu 20.04, exim version 4.93-13ubuntu1.5. Version 4.93-13ubuntu1.1 (released in May 2020) works correctly.
