1.14 sobrado 137: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
138: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
139: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
140: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
141: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
142: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
143: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
144: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
145: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
146: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when
147: speaking to one of the affected versions.
1.1 deraadt 148: </ul>
149: <li>New/changed features:
150: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 151: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
152: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
153: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
154: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.
155: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
156: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
157: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
158: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
159: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
160: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
161: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
162: Add support for <i>SSHFP DNS records</i> for <i>Ed2551</i>9 key types.
163: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
164: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
165: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
166: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
167: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
168: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
169: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when
170: <tt>GatewayPorts=no</tt>; allows client to choose address family.
171: (bz#2222)
172: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
173: Add a
174: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
175: <tt>PermitUserRC</tt> option to control whether <tt>~/.ssh/rc</tt> is
176: executed, mirroring the <tt>no-user-rc</tt> authorized_keys option.
177: (bz#2160)
178: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
179: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
180: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
181: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
182: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
183: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
184: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
185: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
186: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
187: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
188: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 189: </ul>
190: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
191: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 192: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
193: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
194: address.
195: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
196: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
197: listed in
198: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
199: or on the commandline not to be preferred.
200: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
201: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
202: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
203: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
204: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
205: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
206: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
207: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
208: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
209: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
210: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
211: (bz#2247)
212: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
213: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
214: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
215: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
216: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
217: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
218: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
219: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
220: agent that supports key types that
221: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
222: doesn't). (bz#2234)
223: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
224: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
225: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
226: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
227: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
228: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
229: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
230: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
231: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
232: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
233: heap to the remote end.
234: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
235: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
236: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
237: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
238: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
239: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
240: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
241: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
242: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
243: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
244: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
245: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

396: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
397: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
398: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
399: <p>
400:
401: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
402: <ul>
403: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
404: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
405: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
406: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
407:
408: <p>
409: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
410: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
411:
412: <p>
413: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
414: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
415: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
416:
417: <p>
418: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
419: read INSTALL.i386.
420:
421: <p>
422: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
423: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
424: use the
425: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
426: utility. The following is an example usage of
427: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
428: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
429: "rfd0a".
430:

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

445: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
446: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
447: your BIOS options first.
448: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
449: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
450: boot from the floppy drive.
451:
