2015-08-19GSSAPI 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: 2015-08-19 Patch-Name: gssapi.patch

UpdateHostKeys fixes: I accidentally changed the format of the hostkeys@openssh.com messages last week without changing the extension name, and this has been causing connection failures for people who are running -current. First reported by sthen@ s/hostkeys@openssh.com/hostkeys-00@openssh.com/ Change the name of the proof message too, and reorder it a little. Also, UpdateHostKeys=ask is incompatible with ControlPersist (no TTY available to read the response) so disable UpdateHostKeys if it is in ask mode and ControlPersist is active (and document this)

Revise hostkeys@openssh.com hostkey learning extension. The client will not ask the server to prove ownership of the private halves of any hitherto-unseen hostkeys it offers to the client. Allow UpdateHostKeys option to take an 'ask' argument to let the user manually review keys offered. ok markus@

Host key rotation support. Add a hostkeys@openssh.com protocol extension (global request) for a server to inform a client of all its available host key after authentication has completed. The client may record the keys in known_hosts, allowing it to upgrade to better host key algorithms and a server to gracefully rotate its keys. The client side of this is controlled by a UpdateHostkeys config option (default on). ok markus@

Tweak config reparsing with host canonicalisation Make the second pass through the config files always run when hostname canonicalisation is enabled. Add a "Match canonical" criteria that allows ssh_config Match blocks to trigger only in the second config pass. Add a -G option to ssh that causes it to parse its configuration and dump the result to stdout, similar to "sshd -T" Allow ssh_config Port options set in the second config parse phase to be applied (they were being ignored). bz#2267 bz#2286; ok markus
