The 6.4.39 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations, including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>.

(or STLS for POP3). In situations where we wrap the connection in TLS, suppress the warning. Reported by Mike Pope. * If fetchmail was running localized, generate an error e-mail message locally, and if the selected translation would require the Subject: line to wrap inside an RFC-2047 encoded word (=?UTF-8?Q?...?=), the wrapped encoded-word was not indented, thus not marked as a continuation line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Note that the shipped NEWS file in the tarball and this release message claim fetchmail-6.4.38 were "not yet released", but I have released iti today intentionally, not by accident. That line should have read instead: "fetchmail-6.4.38 (released 2024-01-31, 31720 LoC)" and has been pushed with a GnuPG-signed tag to the Git repos, https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail and https://sourceforge.net/p/fetchmail/git/ci/legacy_64/tree/ Am Wed, Jan 31, 2024 at 10:00:33PM +0100 schrieb Matthias Andree: > The 6.4.38 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations, > including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>. > > The source archive is available at: > <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.xz/download> > <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.lz/download> > > The detached GnuPG signature is available at: > <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.xz.asc/download> > <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.lz.asc/download> > > The SHA256 hashes for the tarballs are: > SHA2-256(fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.xz)= a6cb4ea863ac61d242ffb2db564a39123761578d3e40d71ce7b6f2905be609d9 > SHA2-256(fetchmail-6.4.38.tar.lz)= be82b520d9698c1378c3a9a4dbab4d392c8c90d457af11a97ce9b85a3fedc70a > > > Here are the release notes: > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > fetchmail-6.4.38 (not yet released): > > # BREAKING CHANGES: > * Tighten OpenSSL and wolfSSL version requirements again.

Fixing this portably requires C++17. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: * The ca, da, en_GB, id, it, nl, ru, zh_CN translations have been disabled, they are too far behind. ## CHANGED REQUIREMENTS * fetchmail 6.5.0 requires a TLSv1.3-capable version of OpenSSL or wolfSSL, at a minimum OpenSSL v1.1.1 or wolfSSL v5.5.1. ## BUG FIXES * Received: lines now return GMT time if the tzoffset cannot be represented as whole minutes. Reported by @rriddicc via Gitlab #49. ## CHANGES * There is now a --moveto feature (only feasible in IMAP) that, instead of flushing mail, moves it to a user-specified folder. This is to assist with archiving, or when providers (G...) break the IMAP model. Courteously provided by Damjan Jovanovic. * fetchmail can be built with meson 0.60 or newer <https://mesonbuild.com/>. fetchmail is not currently written in a way that supports unity (amalgamated) builds. ============================================================================ |

See <https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/-/blob/6.5.0.beta8/NEWS> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * --auth ssh may be removed from future fetchmail versions. Use --auth implicit. * Future fetchmail releases (even minor ones) may change undocumented parts of the .netrc parser in incompatible ways to enhance compatibility with typical ftp(1) .netrc parsers. * Apparently OPIE is dying. I only have this support on FreeBSD, and FreeBSD 14 (slated for release in 2023) is about to remove it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * FreeBSD's OPIE implementation cannot be found when using a C++ compiler. This should not affect the normal build, which uses a C compiler. * .netrc now may not have more than 0700 permission if it contains * passwords, else fetchmail will warn and ignore the file. * The .netrc parser no longer permits "machine" after "default". * Add manpage info on the .netrc syntax, as ftp(1) is not standardized and may not be installed. Fixes Launchpad Bug #1976361 reported by Bill Yikes. * fetchmail's --auth option ssh was renamed to implicit, to make clear that it does *NOT* imply any particular type or features of the --plugin. --auth ssh will be understood for a while for compatibility but fetchmail will report it as implicit. * fetchmail can be built with meson <https://mesonbuild.com/>. ================================================================================ |

The 6.4.33 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations, including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>.

Note that fetchmail 6.4.31's tarball contains the wrong date and version in the manual page, it will identify as 6.4.30 from February this year, not as up to date 6.4.31.

The 6.4.31 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations, including <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>. It should make the build a bit more robust and the manpage more portable, and adds some error checking to the .netrc file parser. Further .netrc parser updates and documentation of expected input formats are postponed to fetchmail 6.5 because they might break existing setups, so should not change in a patchlevel release. Note that OpenSSL and wolfSSL both had security updates, OpenSSL for c_rehash, and wolfSSL had fixes for side channel attacks. Upgrade those before you upgrade fetchmail. Versions are at least OpenSSL 1.1.1q or 3.0.5, or wolfSSL 5.4.0. The documentation has been updated accordingly, but fetchmail does not enforce these, leaving it up to distributors.

This is a dangerous option, use it carefully. Courtesy of Eric Durand, GitLab merge request !39. * rcfile parsing errors are now reported in more detail, and with -vv mode, also lead to a non-importable Python dump of what was obtained, for debugging. =------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fetchmail-6.4.22...27 were merged into .beta7, highlights: # BREAKING CHANGES: * Since distributions continue patching for LibreSSL use, which cannot be linked legally, block out LibreSSL in configure.ac and socket.c, and refer to COPYING, unless on OpenBSD (which ships it in the base system). OpenSSL and wolfSSL 5 can be used. SSL-related documentation was updated, do re-read COPYING, INSTALL, README, README.packaging, README.SSL. Note that distribution of packages linked with LibreSSL is not feasible due to a missing GPLv2 clause 2(b) exception. fetchmail can now be used with wolfSSL 5.1.1's OpenSSL compatibility layer, see INSTALL and README.SSL. This is considered experimental. Feedback solicited. # OPENSSL AND LICENSING NOTE: * fetchmail 6.5.0 is compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.0.0. OpenSSL's licensing changed between these releases from dual OpenSSL/SSLeay license to Apache License v2.0, which is considered incompatible with GPL v2 by the FSF. For implications and details, see the file COPYING. # ADDITIONS: * Added an example systemd unit file and instructions to contrib/systemd/ which runs fetchmail as a daemon with 5-minute poll intervals. Courteously contributed by Barak A. Pearlmutter, Debian Bug#981464. # CHANGES: * ./configure --with-ssl now supports pkg-config module names, too. See INSTALL. * IMAP: When fetchmail is in not-authenticated state and the server volunteers CAPABILITY information, use it and do not re-probe. (After STARTTLS, fetchmail must and will re-probe explicitly.) * fetchmail.man and README.SSL were updated in line with RFC-8314/8996/8997 recommendations to prefer Implicit TLS (--ssl/ssl) and TLS v1.2 or newer, placing --sslproto tls1.2+ more prominently. # SECURITY FIXES: * CVE-2021-39272: fetchmail-SA-2021-02: On IMAP connections, without --ssl and with nonempty --sslproto, meaning that fetchmail is to enforce TLS, and when the server or an attacker sends a PREAUTH greeting, fetchmail used to continue an unencrypted connection. Now, log the error and abort the connection. --Recommendation for servers that support SSL/TLS-wrapped or "implicit" mode on a dedicated port (default 993): use --ssl, or the ssl user option in an rcfile. --Reported by: Andrew C. Aitchison, based on the USENIX Security 21 paper "Why TLS is better without STARTTLS - A Security Analysis of STARTTLS in the Email Context" by Damian Poddebniak, Fabian Ising, Hanno Böck, and Sebastian Schinzel. The paper did not mention fetchmail. * This allows STARTTLS in more scenarios, but also hardens against bypassing. # BUG FIXES: * Fetchmail no longer crashes when attempting a connection with --plugin "" or --plugout "". * Fetchmail no longer leaks memory when processing the arguments of --plugin or --plugout on connections. * On POP3 connections, the CAPAbilities parser is now caseblind. * Fix segfault on configurations with "defaults ... no envelope". Reported by Bjørn Mork. Fixes Debian Bug#992400. This is a regression in fetchmail 6.4.3 and happened when plugging memory leaks, which did not account for that the envelope parameter is special when set as "no envelope". The segfault happens in a constant strlen(-1), triggered by trusted local input => no vulnerability. * Fix program abort (SIGABRT) with "internal error" when invalid sslproto is given with OpenSSL 1.1.0 API compatible SSL implementations. ================================================================================ |

Greetings, The 6.4.25 release CANDIDATE #4 of fetchmail is now available at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>. It fixes up the OpenSSL 1.0.2 workaround for Let's Encrypt Sites. It contains support for wolfSSL 5.0, blocks out LibreSSL due to licensing issues, and overhauls the configure script for OpenSSL. release candidate #2 adds contrib/systemd (which see) and makes some fixes to configure.ac. It updated some translations. release candidate #3 makes more fixes to configure.ac and updates some translations. release candidate #4 fixes compilation with wolfSSL on 32-bit systems, for instance, FreeBSD i386, and mentions that wolfSSL support requires a C99 compiler. See COPYING, INSTALL, README.SSL, README.packaging for more details on the news. Please test this thoroughly and report your findings so we can be sure that 6.4.25 will be a good release.

Greetings, The 6.4.25 release CANDIDATE #3 of fetchmail is now available at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/>. It fixes up the OpenSSL 1.0.2 workaround for Let's Encrypt Sites. It contains support for wolfSSL 5.0, blocks out LibreSSL due to licensing issues, and overhauls the configure script for OpenSSL. release candidate #2 adds contrib/systemd (which see) and makes some fixes to configure.ac. It updated some translations. release candidate #3 makes more fixes to configure.ac and updates some translations. See COPYING, INSTALL, README.SSL, README.packaging for more details on the news. Please test this thoroughly and report your findings so we can be sure that 6.4.25 will be a good release. It has been mailed out to the translation project to solicit translation updates. The source archive is available at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.25.rc3.tar.xz/download> Detached GnuPG signatures for the respective tarballs are at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.4/fetchmail-6.4.25.rc3.tar.xz.asc/download> SHA256 hash values for the tarballs: SHA256(fetchmail-6.4.25.rc3.tar.xz)= d40995068ff7c18682ef0dcae051a44ec89b6a54df4dd2e50a25d32becfb15b2 Thanks to Corey Halpin for the suggestion about license clarification with gnu.org links (submitted through FreeBSD's Bugzilla). Here are the release notes: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fetchmail-6.4.25.rc3 (release candidate issued 2021-11-28, 31636 LoC): # BREAKING CHANGES: * Since distributions continue patching for LibreSSL use, which cannot be linked legally, block out LibreSSL in configure.ac and socket.c, and refer to COPYING. OpenSSL and wolfSSL 5 can be used. SSL-related documentation was updated, do re-read COPYING, INSTALL, README, README.packaging, README.SSL. * Bump OpenSSL version requirement to 1.0.2f in order to safely remove the obsolete OpenSSL flag SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE. This blocks out 1.0.2e and older 1.0.2 versions. 1.0.2f was a security fix release, and 1.0.2u is publicly available from https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.2/ * Some of the configure.ac fiddling MIGHT have broken cross-compilation again. The maintainer does not test cross-compiling fetchmail; if you have difficulties, try setting PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the pkg-config path containing your target/host libraries, or see if --with-ssl-prefix or --with-wolfssl-prefix, or overriding LDFLAGS/LIBS/CPPFLAGS, can help. Feedback solicited on compliant systems that are before end-of-life. # BUG FIXES: * 6.4.24's workaround for OpenSSL 1.0.2's X509_V_FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST flag contained a typo and would not kick in properly. * Library and/or rpath setting from configure.ac was fixed. # ADDITIONS: * Added an example systemd unit file and instructions to contrib/systemd/ which runs fetchmail as a daemon with 5-minute poll intervals.
