1.63 sthen 294: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 295: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
296: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
297: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
1.63 sthen 298: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 299: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
300: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
301: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
302: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
303: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when

1.1 deraadt 305: </ul>
306: <li>New/changed features:
307: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 308: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
309: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
310: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
311: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

1.14 sobrado 323: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
324: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
1.63 sthen 325: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 326: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when

334: (bz#2160)
1.63 sthen 335: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 336: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
337: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
338: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
339: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in

344: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
345: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 346: </ul>
347: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:

1.63 sthen 349: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 350: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
351: address.
1.63 sthen 352: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 353: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly

1.63 sthen 357: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 358: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
359: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
360: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
361: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
1.63 sthen 362: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 363: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in

368: (bz#2247)
1.63 sthen 369: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 370: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
371: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
372: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
1.63 sthen 373: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:

1.14 sobrado 376: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
377: agent that supports key types that
1.63 sthen 378: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>

1.63 sthen 380: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 381: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
382: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
1.63 sthen 383: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 384: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
385: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
386: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
387: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
1.63 sthen 388: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 389: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised

1.63 sthen 396: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 397: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
398: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
399: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
400: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
1.63 sthen 401: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

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