Subject: sendmail 8.11.3 released
Date: 28 Feb 2001 10:34:29 -0000
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Sendmail, Inc. and the Sendmail Consortium announce the release of sendmail
8.11.3. This is a maintenance release which contains bug fixes for
problems found after 8.11.2 was released. Systems which use buffered file
I/O (BSD Torek systems) were not properly fsync()'ing the data (df) file.
Although there is little chance of data loss, this is an important fix.
The release is available from:
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.3.tar.Z
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.3.tar.sig
with MD5 signatures:

You only need one of the first two files (either the gzip'ed version or the
compressed version). The .sig file contains the PGP signature of the tar
file (after uncompressing it). The PGP signature was created using the
Sendmail Signing Key/2001, available on the web site
(http://www.sendmail.org/) or on the public key servers.
Since sendmail 8.11 and later includes hooks to cryptography, the
following information from OpenSSL applies to sendmail as well.

8.11.3/8.11.3 2001/02/27
Prevent a segmentation fault when a bogus value was used in the
LDAPDefaultSpec option's -r, -s, or -M flags and if a bogus
option was used. Problem noted by Allan E Johannesen of
Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Prevent "token too long" message by shortening {currHeader} which
could be too long if the last copied character was a quote.
Problem detected by Jan Krueger of digitalanswers
communications consulting gmbh.
Additional IPv6 check for unspecified addresses. Patch from
Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project.
Do not ignore the ClientPortOptions setting if DaemonPortOptions
Modifier=b (bind to same interface) is set and the
connection came in from the command line.
Do not bind to the loopback address if DaemonPortOptions
Modifier=b (bind to same interface) is set. Patch from
John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
Properly deal with open failures on non-optional maps used in
check_* rulesets by returning a temporary failure.
Buffered file I/O files were not being properly fsync'ed to disk
when they were committed.
Properly encode '=' for the AUTH= parameter of the MAIL command.
Problem noted by Hadmut Danisch.
Under certain circumstances the macro {server_name} could be set
to the wrong hostname (of a previous connection), which may
cause some rulesets to return wrong results. This would
usually cause mail to be queued up and delivered later on.
Ignore F=z (LMTP) mailer flag if $u is given in the mailer A=
equate. Problem noted by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto
University.
Work around broken accept() implementations which only partially
fill in the peer address if the socket is closed before
accept() completes.
Return an SMTP "421" temporary failure if the data file can't be
opened where the "354" reply would normally be given.
Prevent a CPU loop in trying to expand a macro which doesn't exist
in a queue run. Problem noted by Gordon Lack of Glaxo
Wellcome.
If delivering via a program and that program exits with EX_TEMPFAIL,
note that fact for the mailq display instead of just showing
"Deferred". Problem noted by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto
University.
If doing canonification via /etc/hosts, try both the fully
qualified hostname as well as the first portion of the
hostname. Problem noted by David Bremner of the
University of New Brunswick.
Portability:
Fix a compilation problem for mail.local and rmail if SFIO
is in use. Problem noted by Auteria Wally
Winzer Jr. of Champion Nutrition.
IPv6 changes for platforms using KAME. Patch from
Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project.
OpenBSD 2.7 and higher has srandomdev(3). OpenBSD 2.8 and
higher has BSDI-style login classes. Patch from
Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting.
Unixware 7.1.1 doesn't allow h_errno to be set directly if
sendmail is being compiled with -kthread. Problem
noted by Orion Poplawski of CQG, Inc.
CONTRIB: buildvirtuser: Substitute current domain for $DOMAIN and
current left hand side for $LHS in virtuser files.
DEVTOOLS: Do not pass make targets to recursive Build invocations.
Problem noted by Jeff Bronson of J.D. Bronson, Inc.
MAIL.LOCAL: In LMTP mode, do not return errors regarding problems
storing the temporary message file until after the remote
side has sent the final DATA termination dot. Problem
noted by Allan E Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic
Institute.
MAIL.LOCAL: If LMTP mode is set, give a temporary error if users
are also specified on the command line. Patch from
Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
PRALIASES: Skip over AliasFile specifications which aren't based on
database files (i.e., only show dbm, hash, and btree).
