I have uploaded Exim 4.76 RC1 to:
    ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/


I regret to inform you that 4.76 is a security-fix release, again. In
this case, CVE-2011-1764: a format string attack in logging DKIM
information from an inbound mail may permit anyone who can send you
email to cause code to be executed as the Exim run-time user. No
exploit is known to exist, but we do not believe that an experienced
attacker would find the exploit hard to construct.

ChangeLog can be found at:
http://git.exim.org/exim.git/blob/c8d52a009aa7bc80a1380adec35085755d389ea7:/doc/doc-txt/ChangeLog

This RC is expected to be released as 4.76 before Monday. If you are
unhappy with running an RC in production over the weekend, then this
patch should apply cleanly to 4.75:
http://git.exim.org/exim.git/commitdiff_plain/337e3505b0e6cd4309db6bf6062b33fa56e06cf8

Untar the 4.75 source, then download the patch above with:
curl -o 475format.patch http://git....
read/review and then apply with:
patch -p2 < 475format.patch
and then build Exim as normal.

For the 4.76 RC, the files are signed with the PGP key 0x3903637F, which
has a uid "Phil Pennock <pdp@???>". Please use your own discretion
in assessing what trust paths you might have to this uid. This email
should be signed with the same key, which should provide some
authentication for the above patching instructions and, because of git's
security model, some protection against tampering for the patch I've
suggested for download.

Please update the release candidate wiki page with your experiences
using 4.76 RC1: http://wiki.exim.org/EximVersion476RC

Note that as part of our work to improve Exim and protect against future
security issues, some changes were made to the code to pass gcc with
many more warnings enabled, and in some cases to compile with Clang.
There is a chance that these changes will cause compilation problems on
lesser-tested platforms, so even if you run with just the patch, please
do test compiling the RC on at least one host. These changes should
only affect compilation: if the code compiles, there should be no risk
of change to run-time behaviour.

This release will also fix two known SIGSEGVs and one SIGFPE, none of
which are believed to be security impacting.

Checksums below. Detached PGP signatures in .asc files.

Thank you for your patience, testing and feedback,
- -Phil Pennock, pp The Exim Maintainers.
