Temat: [exim-dev] [Bug 2747] segfault in smtp-receiving process after upgrading to 4.94.2
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2747

--- Comment #9 from Nico Rittner <nrittner@???> ---
hi heiko,

i did some testing this afternoon and could figure out, that the segfault
does not happen when the connection is ipv6, respectively pretends to be (via
the -bh switch).

swaks -f mailbox@??? -t mailbox@??? --pipe 'exim -bh ${HOST} -C
/root/exim.conf';

fails with "*** Child process closed connection unexpectedly" and exit code 6,
when ${HOST} is an ipv4 address.
when redirecting stderr of the --pipe argument to a file "Segmentation fault"
appears as the last line immeditaly after expanding \N^some_regex$\N.

if ${HOST} is ipv6 - ::1 or the current link-local address,
swaks can successfully finish smtp and exits with 0 "=== Connection closed with
child process".

the behaviour when doing real smtp is similar:

msmtp -d --host=${HOST} --from=mailbox@??? --port 25 --tls-starttls=off
--tls=off mailbox@??? </dev/null;

leads to segfault when the connection is ipv4. remote and locally.
for testing purposes i told exim to listen on 127.0.0.1 only. same results with
ipv4-addresses.

in case it matters: ipv6 is not used in our environment/setup here.

i attached the test-configfile i used and some debug output
(ipv4,ipv6,swaks,msmtp) with meaningful filenames.
