2011-09-06* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.9).Colin Watson
- 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).

2011-01-24* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.7):Colin Watson
- 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).

- Added a ControlPersist option to ssh_config(5) that automatically starts a background ssh(1) multiplex master when connecting.

2010-03-31Drop most of our "LogLevel SILENT" (-qq) patch. This was originallyColin Watson
introduced to match the behaviour of non-free SSH, in which -q does not suppress fatal errors, but matching the behaviour of OpenSSH upstream is much more important nowadays. We no longer document that -q does not suppress fatal errors (closes: #280609). Migrate "LogLevel SILENT" to "LogLevel QUIET" in sshd_config on upgrade.
2010-03-31* New upstream release (LP: #535029).Colin Watson
- 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).

OpenSSH certificate key types are not X.509 certificates, but a much simpler format that encodes a public key, identity information and some validity constraints and signs it with a CA key. CA keys are regular SSH keys. This certificate style avoids the attack surface of X.509 certificates and is very easy to deploy. Certified host keys allow automatic acceptance of new host keys when a CA certificate is marked as sh/known_hosts. see VERIFYING HOST KEYS in ssh(1) for details. Certified user keys allow authentication of users when the signing CA key is marked as trusted in authorized_keys. See "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" in sshd(8) for details.

for a while, but there's no GSSAPI patch available for it yet. - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH". - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the plaintext of injected data which formed the basis of this attack (closes: #506115, LP: #379329). - ForceCommand directive now accepts commandline arguments for the internal-sftp server (closes: #524423, LP: #362511). - Add AllowAgentForwarding to available Match keywords list (closes: #540623). - Make ssh(1) send the correct channel number for SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS and SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE messages to avoid triggering 'Non-public channel' error messages on sshd(8) in openssh-5.1. - Avoid printing 'Non-public channel' warnings in sshd(8), since the ssh(1) has sent incorrect channel numbers since ~2004 (this reverts a behaviour introduced in openssh-5.1; closes: #496017). * Update to GSSAPI patch from http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.2p1-gsskex-all-20090726.patch, including cascading credentials support (LP: #416958).
