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

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

450:
451: <p>
452: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
453: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
454: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

463: your BIOS options first.
464: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
465: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
466: boot from the floppy drive.
