                    556:           in the 1990s, but today it's clearly a bad idea in terms of both

                    568:           error-prone.
                    569:       <li>sshd(8): Remove the UseLogin configuration directive and support
                    570:           for having /bin/login manage login sessions.
                    571:       <li>ssh(1): Add a proxy multiplexing mode to ssh(1) inspired by the
                    572:           version in PuTTY by Simon Tatham. This allows a multiplexing
                    573:           client to communicate with the master process using a subset of
                    574:           the SSH packet and channels protocol over a Unix-domain socket,
                    575:           with the main process acting as a proxy that translates channel
                    576:           IDs, etc.  This allows multiplexing mode to run on systems that
                    577:           lack file- descriptor passing (used by current multiplexing
                    578:           code) and potentially, in conjunction with Unix-domain socket
                    579:           forwarding, with the client and multiplexing master process on
                    580:           different machines. Multiplexing proxy mode may be invoked using
                    581:           "ssh -O proxy ..."
                    582:       <li>sshd(8): Add a sshd_config DisableForwarding option that disables
                    583:           X11, agent, TCP, tunnel and Unix domain socket forwarding, as well
                    584:           as anything else we might implement in the future. Like the
                    585:           'restrict' authorized_keys flag, this is intended to be a simple
                    586:           and future-proof way of restricting an account.
                    587:       <li>sshd(8), ssh(1): Support the "curve25519-sha256" key exchange
                    588:           method. This is identical to the currently-supported method named
                    589:           "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org".
                    590:       <li>sshd(8): Improve handling of SIGHUP by checking to see if sshd is
                    591:           already daemonised at startup and skipping the call to daemon(3)
                    592:           if it is. This ensures that a SIGHUP restart of sshd(8) will
                    593:           retain the same process-ID as the initial execution. sshd(8) will
                    594:           also now unlink the PidFile prior to SIGHUP restart and re-create
                    595:           it after a successful restart, rather than leaving a stale file in
                    596:           the case of a configuration error.
                    597:       <li>sshd(8): Allow ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax
                    598:           directives to appear in sshd_config Match blocks.
                    599:       <li>sshd(8): Add %-escapes to AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand to match
                    600:           those supported by AuthorizedKeysCommand (key, key type,
                    601:           fingerprint, etc.) and a few more to provide access to the
                    602:           contents of the certificate being offered.
                    603:       <li>Added regression tests for string matching, address matching and
                    604:           string sanitisation functions.
                    605:       <li>Improved the key exchange fuzzer harness.
                    606:       <li>Deprecate the sshd_config UsePrivilegeSeparation
                    607:           option, thereby making privilege separation mandatory. Privilege
                    608:           separation has been on by default for almost 15 years and
                    609:           sandboxing has been on by default for almost the last five.
                    610:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Support "=-" syntax to easily remove methods from
                    611:           algorithm lists, e.g. Ciphers=-*cbc.
                    612:       </ul>
                    613:     <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
                    614:       <ul>
                    615:       <li>ssh(1): Allow IdentityFile to successfully load and use
                    616:           certificates that have no corresponding bare public key.
                    617:           certificate id_rsa-cert.pub (and no id_rsa.pub).
                    618:       <li>ssh(1): Fix public key authentication when multiple
                    619:           authentication is in use and publickey is not just the first
                    620:           method attempted.
                    621:       <li>ssh-agent(1), ssh(1): improve reporting when attempting to load
                    622:           keys from PKCS#11 tokens with fewer useless log messages and more
                    623:           detail in debug messages.
                    624:       <li>ssh(1): When tearing down ControlMaster connections, don't
                    625:           pollute stderr when LogLevel=quiet.
                    626:       <li>sftp(1): On ^Z wait for underlying ssh(1) to suspend before
                    627:           suspending sftp(1) to ensure that ssh(1) restores the terminal mode
                    628:           correctly if suspended during a password prompt.
                    629:       <li>ssh(1): Avoid busy-wait when ssh(1) is suspended during a password
                    630:           prompt.
                    631:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Correctly report errors during sending of ext-
                    632:           info messages.
                    633:       <li>sshd(8): fix NULL-deref crash if sshd(8) received an out-of-
                    634:           sequence NEWKEYS message.
                    635:       <li>sshd(8): Correct list of supported signature algorithms sent in

                    638:       <li>sshd(8): more strictly enforce the expected ordering of privilege
                    639:           separation monitor calls used for authentication and allow them
                    640:           only when their respective authentication methods are enabled
                    641:           in the configuration
                    642:       <li>sshd(8): Fix uninitialised optlen in getsockopt() call; harmless
                    643:           on Unix/BSD but potentially crashy on Cygwin.
                    644:       <li>Fix false positive reports caused by explicit_bzero(3) not being
                    645:           recognised as a memory initialiser when compiled with
                    646:           -fsanitize-memory.
                    647:       <li>sshd_config(5): Use 2001:db8::/32, the official IPv6 subnet for
                    648:           configuration examples.
                    649:       <li>sshd(1): Fix NULL dereference crash when key exchange start
                    650:           messages are sent out of sequence.
                    651:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Allow form-feed characters to appear in
                    652:           configuration files.
                    653:       <li>sshd(8): Fix regression in OpenSSH 7.4 support for the
                    654:           server-sig-algs extension, where SHA2 RSA signature methods were
                    655:           not being correctly advertised.
                    656:       <li>ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Fix a number of case-sensitivity bugs in
                    657:           known_hosts processing.
                    658:       <li>ssh(1): Allow ssh to use certificates accompanied by a private key
                    659:           file but no corresponding plain *.pub public key.
                    660:       <li>ssh(1): When updating hostkeys using the UpdateHostKeys option,
                    661:           accept RSA keys if HostkeyAlgorithms contains any RSA keytype.
                    662:           Previously, ssh could ignore RSA keys when only the ssh-rsa-sha2-*
                    663:           methods were enabled in HostkeyAlgorithms and not the old ssh-rsa
                    664:           method.
                    665:       <li>ssh(1): Detect and report excessively long configuration file

                    668:           and FreeBSD. Includes fixes for some memory and file descriptor
                    669:           leaks in error paths.
                    670:       <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Correctly hash hosts with a port number.

                    672:           "\r\n" if the length of the message exceeds the buffer.
                    673:       <li>ssh(1): Fully quote [host]:port in generated ProxyJump/-J command-
                    674:           line; avoid confusion over IPv6 addresses and shells that treat
                    675:           square bracket characters specially.
                    676:       <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fix corruption of known_hosts when running
                    677:           "ssh-keygen -H" on a known_hosts containing already-hashed entries.
                    678:       <li>Fix various fallout and sharp edges caused by removing SSH protocol
                    679:           1 support from the server, including the server banner string being
                    680:           incorrectly terminated with only \n (instead of \r\n), confusing
                    681:           error messages from ssh-keyscan a segfault in sshd
                    682:           if protocol v.1 was enabled for the client and sshd_config
                    683:           contained references to legacy keys.
                    684:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Free fd_set on connection timeout.
                    685:       <li>sshd(8): Fix Unix domain socket forwarding for root (regression in
                    686:           OpenSSH 7.4).
                    687:       <li>sftp(1): Fix division by zero crash in "df" output when server
                    688:           returns zero total filesystem blocks/inodes.
                    689:       <li>ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1), sshd(8): Translate OpenSSL errors
                    690:           encountered during key loading to more meaningful error codes.
                    691:       <li>ssh-keygen(1): Sanitise escape sequences in key comments sent to
                    692:           printf but preserve valid UTF-8 when the locale supports it.
                    693:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Return reason for port forwarding failures where
                    694:           feasible rather than always "administratively prohibited".
                    695:       <li>sshd(8): Fix deadlock when AuthorizedKeysCommand or
                    696:           AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand produces a lot of output and a key is
                    697:           matched early.
                    698:       <li>ssh(1): Fix typo in ~C error message for bad port forward
                    699:           cancellation.
                    700:       <li>ssh(1): Show a useful error message when included config files
                    701:           can't be opened.
                    702:       <li>sshd(8): Make sshd set GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck=yes as the manual page
                    703:           (previously incorrectly) advertised.
                    704:       <li>sshd_config(5): Repair accidentally-deleted mention of %k token
                    705:           in AuthorizedKeysCommand.
                    706:       <li>sshd(8): Remove vestiges of previously removed LOGIN_PROGRAM;
                    707:       <li>ssh-agent(1): Relax PKCS#11 whitelist to include libexec and
                    708:           common 32-bit compatibility library directories.
                    709:       <li>sftp-client(1): Fix non-exploitable integer overflow in SSH2_FXP_NAME
                    710:           response handling.
                    711:       <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression in 7.4 of deleting PKCS#11-hosted
                    712:           keys. It was not possible to delete them except by specifying
                    713:           their full physical path.
                    714:       </ul>

1.80      deraadt   719:     <ul>
                    720:     <li>libtls now supports ALPN and SNI
                    721:     <li>libtls adds a new callback interface for integrating custom IO
                    722:        functions. Thanks to Tobias Pape.
                    723:     <li>libtls now handles 4 cipher suite groups:
                    724:        <ul>
                    725:        <li>"secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)
                    726:        <li>"compat" (HIGH:!aNULL)

                    729:        </ul>
                    730:        This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
                    731:        having two extremes (an issue raised by Marko Kreen some time ago).
                    732:     <li>Tightened error handling for tls_config_set_ciphers().
                    733:     <li>libtls now always loads CA, key and certificate files at the time the
                    734:        configuration function is called. This simplifies code and results in
                    735:        a single memory based code path being used to provide data to libssl.
                    736:     <li>Add support for OCSP intermediate certificates.
                    737:     <li>Added functions used by stunnel and exim from BoringSSL - this
                    738:        brings in X509_check_host, X509_check_email, X509_check_ip, and
                    739:        X509_check_ip_asc.
                    740:     <li>Added initial support for iOS, thanks to Jacob Berkman.
                    741:     <li>Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows when using memory leak
                    742:        analysis software.
                    743:     <li>Correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake
                    744:        completing. Reported by Vasily Kolobkov, based on a diff from Marko
                    745:        Kreen.
                    746:     <li>Limit the support of the "backward compatible" ssl2 handshake to
                    747:        only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
                    748:     <li>Fix incorrect results in certain cases on 64-bit systems when
                    749:        BN_mod_word() can return incorrect results. BN_mod_word() now can
                    750:        return an error condition. Thanks to Brian Smith.
                    751:     <li>Added constant-time updates to address CVE-2016-0702
                    752:     <li>Fixed undefined behavior in BN_GF2m_mod_arr()
                    753:     <li>Removed unused Cryptographic Message Support (CMS)
                    754:     <li>More conversions of long long idioms to time_t
                    755:     <li>Improved compatibility by avoiding printing NULL strings with
                    756:        printf.
                    757:     <li>Reverted change that cleans up the EVP cipher context in
                    758:        EVP_EncryptFinal() and EVP_DecryptFinal(). Some software relies on the
                    759:        previous behaviour.
                    760:     <li>Avoid unbounded memory growth in libssl, which can be triggered
                    761:        by a TLS client repeatedly renegotiating and sending OCSP Status
                    762:        Request TLS extensions.
                    763:     <li>Avoid falling back to a weak digest for (EC)DH when using SNI
                    764:        with libssl.
                    765:     <li>X509_cmp_time() now passes a malformed GeneralizedTime field as
                    766:        an error. Reported by Theofilos Petsios.
                    767:     <li>Detect zero-length encrypted session data early, instead of when
                    768:        malloc(0) fails or the HMAC check fails.
                    769:     <li>Check for and handle failure of HMAC_{Update,Final} or
                    770:        EVP_DecryptUpdate().
                    771:     <li>Massive update and normalization of manpages, conversion to
                    772:        mandoc format. Many pages were rewritten for clarity and accuracy.
                    773:        Portable doc links are up-to-date with a new conversion tool.
1.82      jsing     774:     <li>Curve25519 and TLS X25519 Key Exchange support.
1.80      deraadt   775:     <li>Support for alternate chains for certificate verification.
                    776:     <li>Code cleanups, CBB conversions, further unification of DTLS/SSL
                    777:        handshake code, further ASN1 macro expansion and removal.
                    778:     <li>Private symbols are now hidden in libssl and libcrypto.
                    779:     <li>Friendly certificate verification error messages in libtls, peer
                    780:        verification is now always enabled.
                    781:     <li>Added OCSP stapling support to libtls and nc.
                    782:     <li>Added ocspcheck utility to validate a certificate against its OCSP
                    783:        responder and save the reply for stapling
                    784:     <li>Enhanced regression tests and error handling for libtls.
                    785:     <li>Added explicit constant and non-constant time BN functions,
                    786:        defaulting to constant time wherever possible.
                    787:     <li>Moved many leaked implementation details in public structs behind
                    788:        opaque pointers.
                    789:     <li>Added ticket support to libtls.
                    790:     <li>Added support for setting the supported EC curves via
                    791:        SSL{_CTX}_set1_groups{_list}() - also provide defines for the
                    792:        previous SSL{_CTX}_set1_curves{_list} names. This also changes
                    793:        the default list of curves to be X25519, P-256 and P-384. All
                    794:        other curves must be manually enabled.
                    795:     <li>Added -groups option to openssl(1) s_client for specifying the
                    796:        curves to be used in a colon-separated list.
                    797:     <li>Merged client/server version negotiation code paths into one,
                    798:        reducing much duplicate code.
                    799:     <li>Removed error function codes from libssl and libcrypto.
                    800:     <li>Fixed an issue where a truncated packet could crash via an OOB
                    801:        read.
                    802:     <li>Added SSL_OP_NO_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION option that disallows
                    803:        client-initiated renegotiation. This is the default for libtls
                    804:        servers.
                    805:     <li>Avoid a side-channel cache-timing attack that can leak the ECDSA
                    806:        private keys when signing. This is due to BN_mod_inverse() being
                    807:        used without the constant time flag being set. Reported by Cesar
                    808:        Pereida Garcia and Billy Brumley (Tampere University of
                    809:        Technology).  The fix was developed by Cesar Pereida Garcia.
                    810:     <li>iOS and MacOS compatibility updates from Simone Basso and Jacob
                    811:        Berkman.
                    812:     <li>Added the recallocarray(3) memory allocation function, and
                    813:        converted various places in the library to use it, such as CBB
                    814:        and BUF_MEM_grow.  recallocarray(3) is similar to
                    815:        reallocarray. Newly allocated memory is cleared similar to
                    816:        calloc(3). Memory that becomes unallocated while shrinking or
                    817:        moving existing allocations is explicitly discarded by unmapping
                    818:        or clearing to 0.
                    819:     <li>Added new root CAs from SECOM Trust Systems / Security
                    820:        Communication of Japan.
                    821:     <li>Added EVP interface for MD5+SHA1 hashes.
                    822:     <li>Improved nc(1) TLS handshake CPU usage and server-side error
                    823:        reporting.
                    824:     <li>Add a constant time version of BN_gcd and use it default for
                    825:        BN_gcd to avoid the possibility of sidechannel timing attacks
                    826:        against RSA private key generation - Thanks to Alejandro
