2017-10-04Document that HashKnownHosts may break tab-completionColin Watson
Bug: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1727 Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/430154 Last-Update: 2013-09-14 Patch-Name: doc-hash-tab-completion.patch
2017-10-04Allow harmless group-writabilityColin Watson
Allow secure files (~/.ssh/config, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, etc.) to be group-writable, provided that the group in question contains only the file's owner. Rejected upstream for IMO incorrect reasons (e.g. a misunderstanding about the contents of gr->gr_mem). Given that per-user groups and umask 002 are the default setup in Debian (for good reasons - this makes operating in setgid directories with other groups much easier), we need to permit this by default.

2017-10-04Various keepalive extensionsRichard Kettlewell
Add compatibility aliases for ProtocolKeepAlives and SetupTimeOut, supported in previous versions of Debian's OpenSSH package but since superseded by ServerAliveInterval. (We're probably stuck with this bit for compatibility.) In batch mode, default ServerAliveInterval to five minutes. Adjust documentation to match and to give some more advice on use of keepalives.

2017-10-04GSSAPI key exchange supportSimon Wilkinson
This patch has been rejected upstream: "None of the OpenSSH developers are in favour of adding this, and this situation has not changed for several years. This is not a slight on Simon's patch, which is of fine quality, but just that a) we don't trust GSSAPI implementations that much and b) we don't like adding new KEX since they are pre-auth attack surface. This one is particularly scary, since it requires hooks out to typically root-owned system resources." However, quite a lot of people rely on this in Debian, and it's better to have it merged into the main openssh package rather than having separate -krb5 packages (as we used to have). It seems to have a generally good security history. Bug: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1242 Last-Updated: 2017-10-04 Patch-Name: gssapi.patch

Add 'reverse' dynamic forwarding which combines dynamic forwarding (-D) with remote forwarding (-R) where the remote-forwarded port expects SOCKS-requests. The SSH server code is unchanged and the parsing happens at the SSH clients side. Thus the full SOCKS-request is sent over the forwarded channel and the client parses c->output. Parsing happens in channel_before_prepare_select(), _before_ the select bitmask is computed in the pre[] handlers, but after network input processing in the post[] handlers. help and ok djm@ Upstream-ID: aa25a6a3851064f34fe719e0bf15656ad5a64b89

Expand ssh_config's StrictModes option with two new settings: StrictModes=accept-new will automatically accept hitherto-unseen keys but will refuse connections for changed or invalid hostkeys. StrictModes=off is the same as StrictModes=no Motivation: StrictModes=no combines two behaviours for host key processing: automatically learning new hostkeys and continuing to connect to hosts with invalid/changed hostkeys. The latter behaviour is quite dangerous since it removes most of the protections the SSH protocol is supposed to provide. Quite a few users want to automatically learn hostkeys however, so this makes that feature available with less danger. At some point in the future, StrictModes=no will change to be a synonym for accept-new, with its current behaviour remaining available via StrictModes=off. bz#2400, suggested by Michael Samuel; ok markus Upstream-ID: 0f55502bf75fc93a74fb9853264a8276b9680b64

man pages with pseudo synopses which list filenames end up creating very ugly output in man -k; after some discussion with ingo, we feel the simplest fix is to remove such SYNOPSIS sections: the info is hardly helpful at page top, is contained already in FILES, and there are sufficiently few that just zapping them is simple; ok schwarze, who also helpfully ran things through a build to check output; Upstream-ID: 3e211b99457e2f4c925c5927d608e6f97431336c

remove 3des-cbc from the client's default proposal; 64-bit block ciphers are not safe in 2016 and we don't want to wait until attacks like sweet32 are extended to SSH. As 3des-cbc was the only mandatory cipher in the SSH RFCs, this may cause problems connecting to older devices using the defaults, but it's highly likely that such devices already need explicit configuration for KEX and hostkeys anyway. ok deraadt, markus, dtucker Upstream-ID: a505dfe65c6733af0f751b64cbc4bb7e0761bc2f

Add a ProxyJump ssh_config(5) option and corresponding -J ssh(1) command-line flag to allow simplified indirection through a SSH bastion or "jump host". These options construct a proxy command that connects to the specified jump host(s) (more than one may be specified) and uses port-forwarding to establish a connection to the next destination. This codifies the safest way of indirecting connections through SSH servers and makes it easy to use. ok markus@ Upstream-ID: fa899cb8b26d889da8f142eb9774c1ea36b04397
