2014-02-10Various 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aliases for ProtocolKeepAlives and SetupTimeOut, supported in previous versions of Debian's OpenSSH package but since superseded by ServerAliveInterval.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: 2013-09-14 Patch-Name: keepalive-extensions.patch
2014-02-10GSSAPI 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: 2014-02-10 Patch-Name: gssapi.patch

[servconf.c servconf.h sshd.c sshd_config.5 sandbox-rlimit.c] [sandbox-systrace.c sandbox.h configure.ac Makefile.in] introduce sandboxing of the pre-auth privsep child using systrace(4). This introduces a new "UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox" option for sshd_config that applies mandatory restrictions on the syscalls the privsep child can perform. This prevents a compromised privsep child from being used to attack other hosts (by opening sockets and proxying) or probing local kernel attack surface. The sandbox is implemented using systrace(4) in unsupervised "fast-path" mode, where a list of permitted syscalls is supplied. Any syscall not on the list results in SIGKILL being sent to the privsep child. Note that this requires a kernel with the new SYSTR_POLICY_KILL option. UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox will become the default in the future so please start testing it now. feedback dtucker@; ok markus@
