2014-05-17 * New version 2.19.999Eduardo Chappa
* Introduce the option "Validate Using Certificate Store Only", and make it the default. This will make Alpine check for the validity of signatures in certificates that a user has installed in their system, and not in the certificates that come with the message. A user can override this, although is not recommended, by disabling this feature. * When viewing a signed message, the ^E command would present an empty screen or Alpine would crash because when Alpine would get the PKCS7 body of the message from body->sparep, it would not decode it properly due to the new way in which the sparep pointer is encoded that was introduced in version 2.19.991. * When a signed message is forwarded, the message might not be filtered correctly, and mime information might make it into the body of the forwarded message. In order to produce this, the message must be forwarded from the index screen and not be opened. The reason why this makes a difference is because opening a signed message changes its body structure. The reason why a person could forward a message before reading it is because the person could already be aware of the content of the message (e.g. the message is in the sent-mail folder). * When a message fails to validate and the body is saved from the server for validation, be careful in the way that body part pointers are set, in order to do this we split the mail_body function into two parts, one that gets the body, the other that gets the section of the body. The new function that gets the section of the body (mail_body_section), is used to assign pointers of the reconstructed new body. * When a container has not been defined, transferring messages to a container will succeed, and the name of the container will be written on screen. * When Alpine is receiving the envelopes from an imap server, it attempts to generate the index line immediately; while doing so it might need to compute a score, and for this, it might need to go back and do some operation in the same imap server. In this case, Alpine will crash with a "lock when already locked" message. In order to avoid this crash, a new check in match_pattern was added to Alpine to avoid the second trip to a server that is busy sending us envelopes. Reported by Peter Koellner. * Update copyright notice in mswin.rc and pmapi.rc, as well as first time user notice and special request notice. * Alpine cannot handle correctly some characters in the Windows-1256 character set, which might lead to a crash or a corruption in the screen. Work was done to contain the bug. A more complete fix will be done in a future release. Reported by Professor Robert Funnell. * Decode the name of attachment names, so they can be written as part of the description of the part. * When transferring certificates to a local container, create container with default names PublicContainer, PrivateContainer and CAContainer, as appropriate for these files, unless the user has provided some other names.
2014-04-25 * When downloading a signed message, and processing it, we useEduardo Chappa
body->nested.part instead of b->nested.part in the do_detached_signature_verify function, and save its body and mime headers in create_local_cache. Now all signed messages should verify correctly. * Protect against potential crash bug in write_passfile function by checking if text != NULL. text can only be null if there are no passwords to save. We assume we could get write_passfile called with null arguments, so this is just to protect that. * Add handling of corner cases to several functions by initializing some variables. Reported and patched by James Jerkins. * When selecting the certificate/key pair to encrypt/decrypt the password file choose it in this order: - if -pwdcertdir is given look for certificates there, if nothing there, we bail out; - otherwise we look in the default directory, if anything there and it matches to be a key/cert pair, we use it; - otherwise we check if smime_init() has been called. If not we call it; - we check if a key/cert pair has been found with smime initialized, if so, use it and copy it to the default directory; - if not, check if there is anything in the default smime directories (.alpine-smime/private and .alpine-smime/public), and in this case copy it to the default. - otherwise we bail. We will eventually create a certificate/key pair for the user; - finally, if we called smime_init(), we call smime_deinit(). Throughout this process, if smime_init() was not called before we tried to get the cert/key pair we exit this process without ps_global->smime->inited set, so that other process that need to call smime_init() get the right structure initialized. This is done because we might pick a cert/key pair to decrypt the password file.
2014-02-02 * Update to version 2.19.5Eduardo Chappa
* check bounds and tie strings off to improve security. Contributed by James Jerkins. * Alpine crashed when a user attempted to add a folder collection, due to bug in GET_NAMESPACE in imap4r1.c.
2013-12-27 * new address alpine-count@patches.freeiz.com for counting users ofEduardo Chappa
Alpine. * When writing the .pinerc file, lines could not be longer than 10,000 characters, or else this caused corruption in the .pinerc data. Now they are allowed to be of any size. * Fix a problem that made Alpine remove files before they were open by the viewer. It requires that the user has an equivalent to a command such as "ps auxww" to list the list of processes. The default is "/bin/ps auxww", but it can be changed at compile time with the option --with-ps-cmd. * Remove -lregex from linker flags when building --with-supplied-regex. * Fix _INIT_ token for reply quote string to include support for 8-bit in personal names.
2013-10-06 * new version 2.11.8Eduardo Chappa
* Fix in configure script for recognition of SSL files in Ubuntu 12.04 * Alpine does not attempt to automatically reopen a collection that was not opened due to cancellation by the user. Instead, the user must try to open it explicitly. * few improvements on new /tls1, /tls1_1, etc. options.
2013-08-04 * New version 2.10.99999Eduardo Chappa
* Pico: search backwards. * do not allow List- headers to be set up by users in accordance with RFC 2369. * minor fixes for new justification support (add comparison of a line with the previous *and* the next).
