AUTOMATIC = "Automatic"
PLAIN = "Normal password"
CRAM_MD5 = "Encrypted password"
SMTP also uses LOGIN. No localized text was associated with that because
a future commit will remove that option.
(The text is similar to that of Thunderbird's)
Changes:
Extract code and create login() and authCramMD5() methods.
Implement the SASL PLAIN authentication mechanism. Its primary benefit is
the explicit support for UTF-8. If the user has configured "PLAIN"
authentication, then SASL PLAIN will be used, if available, otherwise
login() will be used.
Implement POP3 APOP authentication (issue 3218). If the user has
configured "CRAM_MD5" authentication (a future commit will change this
user option to a localized string "Encrypted password"), then SASL
CRAM-MD5 will be used, if available, otherwise the availability of POP3
APOP will be checked and used (per RFC 2449, there is no APOP
"capability").
Extend getCapabilities() to check for available authentication methods by
sending the "AUTH" command with no arguments
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-myers-sasl-pop3-05). This never became
a standard, but there are servers that support it, and Thunderbird
includes this check.
The SASL PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentication methods are not attempted
unless the server professes to have the appropriate capability.
(Previously, CRAM-MD5 was tried regardless of capability.) No check is
made for the USER capability prior to use of that method. All this is the
same behavior as in Thunderbird.
Eliminate the testing for capabilities in cases where the test results are
never used (PIPELINING, USER).
Change when getCapabilities() is called. It is called once upon
connection. If STARTTLS is negotiated (POP3 STLS), then
getCapabilities() is called again after the connection is encrypted (and
the server is authenticated), but before user authentication is attempted.
In AccountSetupCheckSettings.onCreate(Bundle), the account settings are
checked.
If an AuthenticationFailedException occurs, A dialog saying "Username or
password incorrect." pops up. We don't want to say this if the cause is
not related to an incorrect user name or password. Instead we want to say
the more generic "Cannot connect to server" which pops up for other
exception types.
This commit attempts to eliminate the use of AuthenticationFailedException
in instances where it could not be due to "Username or password
incorrect."
Previously, the user name and password were being transmitted as IMAP (RFC
3501) quoted strings.
The problem is that quoted strings are only permitted to carry 7-bit
(ASCII) data, whereas user names and passwords entered in K-9 Mail may not
be ASCII, so K-9 was violating the RFC by sending them as quoted strings.
The solution is to transmit the credentials as IMAP literal strings, which
are permitted for user names and passwords, and which permit the
transmission of 8-bit data.
This is only a partial attempt for fixing the LOGIN command for users with
non-ASCII credentials. The problem is that IMAP permits 8-bit data for
user names and passwords (if transmitted as literals), but the RFC says
nothing about the character encoding for 8-bit data. This commit encodes
them as UTF-8.
The RFC author's comments on the subject:
http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/imap-protocol/2008-February/000822.html
Ideally, users should avoid the LOGIN command and use the SASL PLAIN
mechanism (within TLS) which explicitly permits UTF-8. (K-9 Mail always
chooses PLAIN over LOGIN, when PLAIN is available.)
See Issue 4492
This method made way too many assumptions about server responses and
should not have been attempting to read and parse them. That should be
left to ImapResponseParser.
Changes:
Implement the PLAIN SASL mechanism. IMAPv4rev1 assures its availability
so long as the connection is encrypted. The big advantage of PLAIN over
IMAP "LOGIN" is that PLAIN uses UTF-8 encoding for the user name and
password, whereas "LOGIN" is only safe for 7-bit US-ASCII -- the encoding
of 8-bit data is undefined.
(Note that RFC 6855 says that IMAP "LOGIN" does not support UTF-8, and
clients must use IMAP "AUTHENTICATE" to pass UTF-8 user names and
passwords.)
Honor the "LOGINDISABLED" CAPABILITY (RFC 2595) when the server declares
it. There's no sense transmitting a password in the clear when it is
known that it will be rejected.
No attempt is made to try CRAM-MD5 if the server doesn't profess to
support it in its CAPABILITY response. (This is the same behavior as
Thunderbird.)
Extract code from ImapConnection.open into new method
ImapConnection.login.
Extract code from ImapConnection.executeSimpleCommand into new method
ImapConnection.readStatusResponse.

Under certain circumstances it's possible that the 'push state' isn't
updated to contain the most recent 'UIDNEXT' value. In that case
ImapFolderPusher.start() would execute the same code path through its
main loop over and over again, preventing the device from going to
sleep.
Rather than changing the code to update the 'push state' in the corner
case that triggers the behavior described above, this commit introduces
another mechanism to track the 'UIDNEXT' value. This should also catch
as of yet unknown cases where the 'push state' isn't properly updated.
At some point in the future I hope we get to a point where we only
persist the 'push state' when we manually stop/restart the service.
During normal operation there's no need to read from/write to storage
all the time.

The classes are just as much related to com.fsck.k9.mail.transport
as com.fsck.k9.mail.store, so having them in
com.fsck.k9.mail.store doesn't seem appropriate.
Move LocalKeyStore to com.fsck.k9.security
Move TrustManagerFactory and TrustedSocketFactory to com.fsck.k9.net.ssl
Also, implement the ability to configure an alternate key store
file location. This permits the running of unit tests without
clobbering the live key store file.
Also, add a test to confirm that the key store file is being written
out and reread correctly.
Proper host name validation was not being performed for certificates
kept in the local keystore. If an attacker could convince a user to
accept and store an attacker's certificate, then that certificate
could be used for MITM attacks, giving the attacker access to all
connections to all servers in all accounts in K-9.
This commit changes how the certificates are stored. Previously, an
entire certificate chain was stored for a server (and any of those
certificates in the chain were available for validating signatures on
certificates received when connecting). Now just the single
certificate for the server is stored.
This commit changes how locally stored certificates are retrieved.
They can only be retrieved using the host:port that the user
configured for the server.
This also fixes issue 1326. Users can now use different certificates
for different servers on the same host (listening to different ports).
The above changes mean that users might have to re-accept certificates
that they had previously accepted and are still using (but only if the
certificate's Subject doesn't match the host that they are connecting
to).
This commit modifies AccountSetupBasics so that it now calls
AccountSetupCheckSettings twice -- once for checking the incoming
settings and once for the outgoing settings. Otherwise, an exception
could occur while checking incoming settings, the user could say
continue (or the user could accept a certificate key), and the
outgoing settings would not be checked. This also helps with
determining if a certificate exception was for the incoming or
outgoing server, which is needed if the user decides to add the
certificate to the keystore.
The TrustedSocketFactory, which provides goodies like better cipher suites and
TLSv1.2, was only being used for tunnelled connections. Use it for STARTTLS
connections as well.
As Georg Lukas wrote in his blog post about how Android handles TLS
handshake (http://op-co.de/blog/posts/android_ssl_downgrade/), an
explicit order of cipher suites and TLS versions must be supplied to
avoid having the weak (presumably broken) RC4 cipher at the top of the
preference list.
This commit adds the list included in the blog post to every TLS socket
creation, including IMAP, POP3 and SMTP, see Wireshark screenshots done
during testing at http://vsza.hu/k9mail-tls-hardening/
This builds upon the efforts started 2 commits back where \r\n is used for

Update LocalStore code to handle the newly introduced temporary files
for attachments
Conflicts:
res/values/strings.xml
src/com/fsck/k9/activity/MessageCompose.java
Android allows other apps to access protected content of an app without requesting the
necessary permission when the app returns an Intent with FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION.
This regularly happens as a result of ACTION_GET_CONTENT, i.e. what we use to pick content
to be attached to a message. Accessing that content only works while the receiving activity
is running. Afterwards accessing the content throws a SecurityException because of the
missing permission.
This commit changes K-9 Mail's behavior to copy the content to a temporary file in K-9's
cache directory while the activity is still running.
Fixes issue 4847, 5821
This also fixes bugs related to the fact that K-9 Mail didn't save a copy of attached content
in the message database.
Fixes issue 1187, 3330, 4930
The preceding commit resulted in attachments of type message/rfc822 being
sent with 8bit encoding even when the SMTP server did not support
8BITMIME. This commit assures that messages will be converted to 7bit
when necessary.
A new interface CompositeBody was created that extends Body, and classes
Message and Multipart were changed from implementing Body to
CompositeBody. Additional classes BinaryTempFileMessageBody and
LocalAttachmentMessageBody were created (by extending BinaryTempFileBody
and LocalAttachmentBody, respectively), and they too implement
CompositeBody.
A CompositeBody is a Body containing a composite-type that can contain
subparts that may require recursive processing when converting from 8bit
to 7bit. The Part to which a CompositeBody belongs is only permitted to
use 8bit or 7bit encoding for the CompositeBody.
Previously, a Message was created so that it was 7bit clean by default
(even though that meant base64 encoding all attachments, including
messages). Then, if the SMTP server supported 8BITMIME,
Message.setEncoding("8bit") was called so that bodies of type TextBody
would been transmitted using 8bit encoding rather than quoted-printable.
Now, messages are created with 8bit encoding by default. Then, if the
SMTP server does not support 8BITMIME, Message.setUsing7bitTransport is
called to recursively convert the message and its subparts to 7bit. The
method setUsing7bitTransport was added to the interfaces Part and
CompositeBody.
setEncoding no longer iterates over parts in Multipart. That task belongs
to setUsing7bitTransport, which may in turn call setEncoding on the parts.
MimeUtility.getEncodingforType was created as a helper function for
choosing a default encoding that should be used for a given MIME type when
an attachment is added to a message (either while composing or when
retrieving from LocalStore).
setEncoding was implemented in MimeBodyPart to assure that the encoding
set in the Part's headers was the same as set for the Part's Body. (The
method already existed in MimeMessage, which has similarities with
MimeBodyPart.)
MimeMessage.parse(InputStream in, boolean recurse) was implemented so that
the parser could be told to recursively process nested messages read from
the InputStream, thus giving access to all subparts at any level that may
need to be converted from 8bit to 7bit.
The problem: Receive a message with an attachment of type message/rfc822
and forward it. When the message is sent, K-9 Mail uses base64 encoding
for the attachment. (Alternatively, you could compose a new message and
add such an attachment from a file using a filing-picking app, but that is
not 100% effective because the app may not choose the correct
message/rfc822 MIME type for the attachment.)
Such encoding is prohibited per RFC 2046 (5.2.1) and RFC 2045 (6.4). Only
8bit or 7bit encoding is permitted for attachments of type message/rfc822.
Thunderbird refuses to decode such attachments. All that is shown is the
base64 encoded body.
This commit implements LocalAttachmentBody.setEncoding. If an attachment
to a newly composed message is itself a message, then setEncoding("8bit")
is called, otherwise setEncoding("base64") is called for the attachment.
Similar behavior occurs when an attachment is retrieved from LocalStore.
The setEncoding method was added to the Body interface, since all
implementations of Body now declare the method.
The problem here differs from that in the preceding commit: Here, the
encoding problem occurs on sending, not on receipt. Here, the entire
message (headers and body) is base64 encoded, not just the body. Here,
the headers correctly identify the encoding used; it's just that the RFC
does not permit such encoding of attached messages. The problem here
could in fact occur in combination with the preceding problem.
If you attempted to use SSL to connect to a server that speaks
STARTTLS, you should get an SSL protocol error. Instead, you
were likely to get an "Unrecognized Certificate" error that shows
you an unrelated certificate chain and asks you to accept it or
reject it. Neither action would work because the actual problem
had nothing to do with certificates. The unrelated certificate
chain that popped up had been statically stored when validating
a prior connection to a different server.
With this patch, certificate chains are no longer stored statically
when validating server connections.
Issue 5886 is an example of a user experiencing this problem.
Previously the app crashed when upgrading the database failed. Now we
reset the database version and run the upgrade code again (recreating
all tables).
