amavisd-new-2.5.4 release notes

BUG FIXES

- simplify regular expressions in parse_quoted_rfc2821() to
avoid perl crashing
  on a long degenerated e-mail address; reported by
Sébastien Aveline;

- further simplify (split in two) regular expressions in
parse_address_list()
  to avoid perl crashing on long degenerated e-mail
addresses in From, To,
  and Cc header fields, also reported and sample provided by
Tomi Lukkarinen;

- incorrect parsing of header fields could let a header
field to be ignored
  when preparing notification templates, or when adding a
spam tag to a
  Subject header field, causing a second Subject header
field to be inserted;
  reported by Mike Cisar;

- untaint a policy bank name when it comes from an AM.PDP
protocol request;
  symptom was a failure to insert a pen pals SQL record in a
milter setup;
  reported by Peter Huetmannsberger;

- smtp client code inappropriately concluded there is no
progress being made
  when forwarding a message back to MTA, and exited a
rw_loop when sysread
  returned status EAGAIN despite a 'select' setting an
input-ready flag;
  the problem was detected on Solaris, although it could be
more general;
  thanks to Aleksandr for a detailed problem report;

- limit the number of filenames given as arguments to a
file(1) utility
  to stay within a safe program argument space limit, run
file(1) multiple
  times if necessary;

- change the sprintf format for conversion of 64-bit
SNMP-like counter values
  into a string (replaced %020d by %020.0f) to properly
convert large values
  (beyond 32 bits) into strings on versions of Perl which
are not compiled
  with support for 64-bit integers (Solaris?); reported by
David Schweikert;


OTHER

- invoke unrar and rar without option 'av-', which is no
longer valid
  since version of unrar 3.7.5, and was previously
apparently just ignored;
  the rar documentation states that option 'av' is only
available with
  registered versions, so it appears the 'av-' is redundant
with rar as well.
  Unrar aborting with 'unknown option' error was reported by
Piotr Meyer;

- a new AV entry for fpscan 6.x, (F-PROT Antivirus for UNIX
command-line
  scanner) based on information from Erik Slooff, Bruno
Friedmann, and Steve);

- a new AV entry for fpscand 6.x (F-PROT Antivirus for
Linux/BSD/Solaris),
  based on initial research by Alexander Wirt, Henrik K, and
F-Prot
  documentation, thanks also to Haukur Valgeirsson of F-Prot
International;

- ask_daemon_internal now keeps persistent connection to an
F-PROT fpscand
  daemon, in addition to Sophie and Trophie daemons;

- new AV entry 'bdscan' for a new version of BitDefender
Antivirus Scanner
  for Linux and FreeBSD; thanks to Gary V;

- updated README.postfix, thanks to Chris Pepper and Patrick
Ben Koetter;

- updated amavisd-new-docs.html;
