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

425: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
426: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
427: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

429:
430: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
431: <ul>
432: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
433: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
434: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
435: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
436:
437: <p>
438: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
439: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
440:
441: <p>
442: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
443: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
444: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
445:
446: <p>
447: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
448: read INSTALL.i386.
449:
450: <p>
451: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
452: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
453: use the
454: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
455: utility. The following is an example usage of
456: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
457: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

476: your BIOS options first.
477: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
478: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
479: boot from the floppy drive.
480:
