* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.7):
- sshd(8): The default set of ciphers and MACs has been altered to
remove unsafe algorithms. In particular, CBC ciphers and arcfour* are
disabled by default. The full set of algorithms remains available if
configured explicitly via the Ciphers and MACs sshd_config options.
- ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for Unix domain socket forwarding. A
remote TCP port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and
vice versa or both ends may be a Unix domain socket (closes: #236718).
- ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Add support for SSHFP DNS records for ED25519
key types.
- sftp(1): Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
- ssh(1): When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is
the same as the one sent during initial key exchange.
- sshd(8): Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses
when GatewayPorts=no; allows client to choose address family.
- sshd(8): Add a sshd_config PermitUserRC option to control whether
~/.ssh/rc is executed, mirroring the no-user-rc authorized_keys
option.
- ssh(1): Add a %C escape sequence for LocalCommand and ControlPath that
expands to a unique identifer based on a hash of the tuple of (local
host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps avoid exceeding miserly
pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in multiplexing control paths.
- sshd(8): Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include
the user, source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
authentication success / failure messages.
- Use CLOCK_BOOTTIME in preference to CLOCK_MONOTONIC when it is
available. It considers time spent suspended, thereby ensuring
timeouts (e.g. for expiring agent keys) fire correctly (closes:
#734553).
- Use prctl() to prevent sftp-server from accessing
/proc/self/{mem,maps}.
* Restore TCP wrappers support, removed upstream in 6.7. It is true that
dropping this reduces preauth attack surface in sshd. On the other
hand, this support seems to be quite widely used, and abruptly dropping
it (from the perspective of users who don't read openssh-unix-dev) could
easily cause more serious problems in practice. It's not entirely clear
what the right long-term answer for Debian is, but it at least probably
doesn't involve dropping this feature shortly before a freeze.
* Replace patch to disable OpenSSL version check with an updated version
of Kurt Roeckx's patch from #732940 to just avoid checking the status
field.

* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5,
LP: #1275068):
- ssh(1): Add support for client-side hostname canonicalisation using a
set of DNS suffixes and rules in ssh_config(5). This allows
unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified domain names
to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in known_hosts or checking
host certificate names (closes: #115286).

Drop ssh-vulnkey and the associated ssh/ssh-add/sshd integration
code, leaving only basic configuration file compatibility, since it
has been nearly six years since the original vulnerability and this
code is not likely to be of much value any more. See
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00240.html for my
full reasoning.

- sftp(1): add support for resuming partial downloads using the "reget"
command and on the sftp commandline or on the "get" commandline using
the "-a" (append) option (closes: #158590).
- ssh(1): add an "IgnoreUnknown" configuration option to selectively
suppress errors arising from unknown configuration directives (closes:
#436052).
- sftp(1): update progressmeter when data is acknowledged, not when it's
sent (partially addresses #708372).
- ssh(1): do not fatally exit when attempting to cleanup multiplexing-
created channels that are incompletely opened (closes: #651357).

- Add support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2 via
an AuthenticationMethods option (closes: #195716).
- Fix Sophie Germain formula in moduli(5) (closes: #698612).
- Update ssh-copy-id to Phil Hands' greatly revised version (closes:
#99785, #322228, #620428; LP: #518883, #835901, #1074798).
|
|
- Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login. (This is
currently enabled only when building for Ubuntu.)
|
|
- Fix IPQoS not being set on non-mapped v4-in-v6 addressed connections
(closes: #643312, #650512).
- Add a new privilege separation sandbox implementation for Linux's new
seccomp sandbox, automatically enabled on platforms that support it.
(Note: privilege separation sandboxing is still experimental.)
|
|
- Introduce sandboxing of the pre-auth privsep child using an optional
sshd_config(5) "UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox" mode that enables
mandatory restrictions on the syscalls the privsep child can perform.
- Add new SHA256-based HMAC transport integrity modes from
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-dbider-sha2-mac-for-ssh-02.txt.
- The pre-authentication sshd(8) privilege separation slave process now
logs via a socket shared with the master process, avoiding the need to
maintain /dev/log inside the chroot (closes: #75043, #429243,
#599240).
- ssh(1) now warns when a server refuses X11 forwarding (closes:
#504757).
- sshd_config(5)'s AuthorizedKeysFile now accepts multiple paths,
separated by whitespace (closes: #76312). The authorized_keys2
fallback is deprecated but documented (closes: #560156).
- ssh(1) and sshd(8): set IPv6 traffic class from IPQoS, as well as IPv4
ToS/DSCP (closes: #498297).
- ssh-add(1) now accepts keys piped from standard input. E.g. "ssh-add
- < /path/to/key" (closes: #229124).
- Clean up lost-passphrase text in ssh-keygen(1) (closes: #444691).
- Say "required" rather than "recommended" in unprotected-private-key
warning (LP: #663455).
|
|
- Fix stack information leak in legacy certificate signing
(http://www.openssh.com/txt/legacy-cert.adv).
|
|
|
|
- Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
- sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard
link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
- scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
are transferred through the local host (closes: #508613).
- ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on
a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
socket is either ready or stale without races (closes: #454784).
Stale server sockets are now automatically removed (closes: #523250).
- ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child process
(closes: #594687).
- ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent
temporary directories (closes: #357469, although only if you arrange
for ssh-agent to actually see $TMPDIR since the setgid bit will cause
it to be stripped off).
|
|
- Unbreak sshd_config's AuthorizedKeysFile option for $HOME-relative
paths.
- Include a language tag when sending a protocol 2 disconnection
message.
- Make logging of certificates used for user authentication more clear
and consistent between CAs specified using TrustedUserCAKeys and
authorized_keys.

- After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
or on the command-line.
- Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
- Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
- Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
- Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
- Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
- Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
- Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
(closes: #270399, #428082).
- Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
- Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
