from-header-binding: findings of the technical and security reviews
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
Both reviews were of c171fb5, read-only, given the code and questions.
Found by both, and the one that would have refused ordinary mail from the
first day: a folded From: line - what a mail library makes of a long display
name - did not parse and was refused with 550. The line is unfolded before it
is read. e2e sends one through Postfix now.
Technical (Opus)
- A display name in a charset Go does not convert (windows-1251, koi8-r) was
refused: such a name is passed through unread, only the address is judged.
- The statistics ran between binding the socket and serving it, with a
supervisorctl that has no timeout: they are kept beside the check now and
nothing of them is waited for. A supervisorctl that fails is logged.
- The count of deferred mail followed smtpd's reject lines and so missed a
check that stops answering in the middle of a message, where cleanup
writes them: it is taken at Postfix's warning, the line that names the
socket. The test line for that case had been invented with the wrong
process; it is marked as composed from Postfix's source.
- A card whose figures could not be read showed zeros and "ok": dashes and
"unknown".
- entrypoint removes the sockets a killed container left, which satisfied
the wrapper's wait before the check was listening.
- Outside quoted strings the line may hold one "@" only - a rule that needs
no knowledge of OpenDKIM's parser.
- Comments that still spoke of two sockets, or of a session replaced after a
refusal; the limits of the cards layout on a phone, said where it is defined.
Security (Fable; no Critical or High)
- Another sender's name in an encoded display name passed the second look:
the decoded name is looked at as well.
- A client could arm the deferred counter by sending the socket's name where
Postfix quotes it in a warning: the two warnings are matched from their
first word.
- A refused message wrote a row per recipient: one row, naming the first
recipient and how many more.
- Docs: the check's lookup is stricter than Postfix's for address extensions
and the case of logins, rather than "cannot disagree"; what a display name
looks like to a person is not promised; the timeouts and the 454 at AUTH
stated as they are; "messages" are connections turned away.
Left as found, in the plan: downtime that crosses midnight is booked on the
day of the restart; a message with the null envelope sender leaves a row
without a domain; a log read again after an unclean stop counts again.
Test server, this tree: go vet ok, go test 23 packages ok, make e2e ok (330 s).
