1.14 ! sobrado 133: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 134: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
! 135: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
! 136: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
! 137: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 138: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
! 139: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
! 140: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
! 141: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
! 142: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when
! 143: speaking to one of the affected versions.
1.1 deraadt 144: </ul>
145: <li>New/changed features:
146: <ul>
1.14 ! sobrado 147: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
! 148: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
! 149: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
! 150: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.
! 151: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 152: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 153: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
! 154: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
! 155: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
! 156: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 157: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
! 158: Add support for <i>SSHFP DNS records</i> for <i>Ed2551</i>9 key types.
! 159: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
! 160: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
! 161: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 162: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
! 163: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
! 164: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 165: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when
! 166: <tt>GatewayPorts=no</tt>; allows client to choose address family.
! 167: (bz#2222)
! 168: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 169: Add a

! 171: <tt>PermitUserRC</tt> option to control whether <tt>~/.ssh/rc</tt> is
! 172: executed, mirroring the <tt>no-user-rc</tt> authorized_keys option.
! 173: (bz#2160)
! 174: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 175: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
! 176: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
! 177: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
! 178: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
! 179: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
! 180: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 181: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
! 182: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
! 183: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
! 184: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.

186: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
187: <ul>
1.14 ! sobrado 188: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 189: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
! 190: address.
! 191: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 192: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
! 193: listed in
! 194: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
! 195: or on the commandline not to be preferred.
! 196: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
! 197: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
! 198: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
! 199: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
! 200: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
! 201: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 202: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
! 203: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
! 204: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 205: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
! 206: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
! 207: (bz#2247)
! 208: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
! 209: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
! 210: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
! 211: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
! 212: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
! 213: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
! 214: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
! 215: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
! 216: agent that supports key types that
! 217: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
! 218: doesn't). (bz#2234)
! 219: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
! 220: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
! 221: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
! 222: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 223: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
! 224: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
! 225: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
! 226: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
! 227: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
! 228: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
! 229: heap to the remote end.
! 230: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
! 231: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
! 232: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
! 233: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
! 234: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
! 235: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 236: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
! 237: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
! 238: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
! 239: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
! 240: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 241: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

392: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
393: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
394: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
395: <p>
396:
397: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
398: <ul>
399: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
400: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
401: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
402: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
403:
404: <p>
405: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
406: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
407:
408: <p>
409: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
410: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
411: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
412:
413: <p>
414: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
415: read INSTALL.i386.
416:
417: <p>
418: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
419: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
420: use the
421: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
422: utility. The following is an example usage of
423: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
424: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
425: "rfd0a".

428: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
429: </pre></ul>
430:
431: <p>
432: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
433: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
434: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

441: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
442: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
443: your BIOS options first.
444: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
445: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
446: boot from the floppy drive.
447:
