Since I haven't heard anything from the package maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) regarding this email sent to him on the 2nd, I thought I would throw this out here. Someone please point me into the right direction if I'm putting this out on the wrong list. My biggest concern is item number 1 in the list below, as the issue noted appears to affect the revision of Exim in stable. More info can also be found in this thread: http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20010611/026952.html Regards, Gregg Berkholtz ----- Forwarded message ----- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 21:11:33 -0700 Please forgive me if you have already heard about this. Should this be a concern that necessitates a security update? Regards, Gregg Berkholtz ----- Forwarded message from Philip Hazel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Exim 3.31 is now available: ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-3.31.tar.gz ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-3.31.tar.bz2 32895393b49f5ac64fec7d3431b2b518 exim-3.31.tar.gz d24350e5589e31aab80cda4dee15f9b4 exim-3.31.tar.bz2 This is a maintenance release that fixes two bugs. The code changes are small and are also available in the following patch file: ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-patch-3.30-3.31.gz The changes are: 1. An address longer than 256 bytes could cause Exim to crash. Change 38 for 3.30 limits local addresses to 512 bytes (the RFC limit is 64bytes@255bytes and SMTP addresses have always been limited), so the relevant vector has been increased to 512 bytes. 2. The return_path generic transport option was being ignored for MAIL FROM lines in BSMTP output in the appendfile and pipe transports. The second of these changes now holds the record for the fastest time from my receiving a bug report to the fix appearing in a release - less than 3 hours. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
