Changes 4.82.1:
This is a SECURITY release, addressing a CRITICAL remote code execution
flaw in Exim version 4.82 (only) when built with DMARC support (an
experimental feature, not on by default). This release is identical to
4.82 except for the small change needed to plug the security hole. The
next release of Exim will, eventually, be 4.83, which will include the
many improvements we've made since 4.82, but which will require the
normal release candidate baking process before release.
You are not vulnerable unless you built Exim with EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC.
This issue is known by the CVE ID of CVE-2014-2957, was reported
directly to the Exim development team by a company which uses Exim for
its mail server. An Exim developer constructed a small patch which
altered the way the contents of the From header is parsed by converting
it to use safer and better internal functions. It was applied and
tested on a production server for correctness. We were notified of the
vulnerability Friday night, created a patch on Saturday, applied and
tested it on Sunday, notified OS packagers on Monday/Tuesday, and are
releasing on the next available work day, which is Wednesday.
This is why we have made the smallest feasible changes to prevent
exploit: we want this chagne to be as safe as possible to expedite into
production (if the packages were built with DMARC).
