2015-03-22Various Debian-specific configuration changesColin Watson
ssh: Enable ForwardX11Trusted, returning to earlier semantics which cause fewer problems with existing setups (http://bugs.debian.org/237021). ssh: Set 'SendEnv LANG LC_*' by default (http://bugs.debian.org/264024). ssh: Enable HashKnownHosts by default to try to limit the spread of ssh worms. ssh: Enable GSSAPIAuthentication and disable GSSAPIDelegateCredentials by default. sshd: Refer to /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/README.Debian.gz alongside PermitRootLogin default. Document all of this, along with several sshd defaults set in debian/openssh-server.postinst.

2014-10-07Document 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
2014-10-07Allow 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. Bug: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060 Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=314347 Last-Update: 2013-09-14 Patch-Name: user-group-modes.patch
2014-10-07Various 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aliases for ProtocolKeepAlives and SetupTimeOut, supported in previous versions of Debian's OpenSSH package but since superseded by ServerAliveInterval.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. Author: Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Author: Matthew Vernon <matthew@debian.org> Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Last-Update: 2014-10-07 Patch-Name: keepalive-extensions.patch
2014-10-07Partial server keep-alive implementation for SSH1Colin Watson
Bug: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1712 Last-Update: 2013-09-14 Patch-Name: ssh1-keepalive.patch
2014-10-07GSSAPI 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: 2014-10-07 Patch-Name: gssapi.patch
