299: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
300: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
301: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
302: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
303: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
304: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
305: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
306: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
307: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when

310: <li>New/changed features:

1.14 sobrado 312: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
313: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
314: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
315: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.
316: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
317: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
318: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
319: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
320: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
321: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,

323: Add support for <i>SSHFP DNS records</i> for <i>Ed2551</i>9 key types.
324: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
325: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
326: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
327: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
328: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
329: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
330: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when

332: (bz#2222)
333: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

336: <tt>PermitUserRC</tt> option to control whether <tt>~/.ssh/rc</tt> is

338: (bz#2160)
339: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
340: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
341: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
342: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
343: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
344: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
345: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
346: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
347: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
348: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
349: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.

352: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 353: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
354: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
355: address.
356: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
357: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
358: listed in

361: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
362: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
363: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
364: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
365: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
366: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
367: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
368: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
369: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
370: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
371: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
372: (bz#2247)
373: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
374: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
375: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
376: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
377: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
378: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
379: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
380: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
381: agent that supports key types that
382: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
383: doesn't). (bz#2234)
384: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
385: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
386: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
387: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
388: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
389: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
390: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
391: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
392: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
393: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
394: heap to the remote end.
395: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
396: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
397: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
398: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
399: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
400: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
401: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
402: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
403: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
404: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
405: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
406: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)
407: <li>Fix some strict-alignment errors.

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

568: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
569: <ul>
570: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
571: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
572: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
573: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
574:
575: <p>
576: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
577: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
578:
579: <p>
1.58 bcallah 580: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
581: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
582:
583: <p>
584: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 585: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
586: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
587:
588: <p>
589: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
590: read INSTALL.i386.
591:
592: <p>
593: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
594: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
595: use the
596: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
597: utility. The following is an example usage of
598: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
599: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
600: "rfd0a".

603: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
604: </pre></ul>
605:
606: <p>
607: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
608: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
609: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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