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).

2010-08-23* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.6):Colin Watson
- Added a ControlPersist option to ssh_config(5) that automatically starts a background ssh(1) multiplex master when connecting. This connection can stay alive indefinitely, or can be set to automatically close after a user-specified duration of inactivity (closes: #335697, #350898, #454787, #500573, #550262). - Support AuthorizedKeysFile, AuthorizedPrincipalsFile, HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly, and PermitTunnel in sshd_config(5) Match blocks (closes: #549858). - sftp(1): fix ls in working directories that contain globbing characters in their pathnames (LP: #530714).

[auth-options.c auth-options.h auth.c auth.h auth2-pubkey.c] [key.c servconf.c servconf.h sshd.8 sshd_config.5] add some optional indirection to matching of principal names listed in certificates. Currently, a certificate must include the a user's name to be accepted for authentication. This change adds the ability to specify a list of certificate principal names that are acceptable. When authenticating using a CA trusted through ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this adds a new principals="name1[,name2,...]" key option. For CAs listed through sshd_config's TrustedCAKeys option, a new config option "AuthorizedPrincipalsFile" specifies a per-user file containing the list of acceptable names. If either option is absent, the current behaviour of requiring the username to appear in principals continues to apply. These options are useful for role accounts, disjoint account namespaces and "user@realm"-style naming policies in certificates. feedback and ok markus@
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. Certificates are minted using ssh-keygen(1), documentation is in the "CERTIFICATES" section of that manpage.

[ssh.c sftp.c scp.c] When passing user-controlled options with arguments to other programs, pass the option and option argument as separate argv entries and not smashed into one (e.g., as -l foo and not -lfoo). Also, always pass a "--" argument to stop option parsing, so that a positional argument that starts with a '-' isn't treated as an option. This fixes some error cases as well as the handling of hostnames and filenames that start with a '-'. Based on a diff by halex@ ok halex@ djm@ deraadt@

2010-01-01* New upstream release (closes: #536182). Yes, I know 5.3p1 has been outColin Watson
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).
