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

408: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
409: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
410: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
411: <p>
412:
413: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
414: <ul>
415: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
416: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
417: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
418: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
419:
420: <p>
421: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
422: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
423:
424: <p>
425: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
426: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
427: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
428:
429: <p>
430: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
431: read INSTALL.i386.
432:
433: <p>
434: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
435: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
436: use the
437: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
438: utility. The following is an example usage of
439: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
440: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
441: "rfd0a".

444: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
445: </pre></ul>
446:
447: <p>
448: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
449: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
450: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

457: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
458: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
459: your BIOS options first.
460: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
461: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
462: boot from the floppy drive.
463:
