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

                    643:       <li>sshd(8): more strictly enforce the expected ordering of privilege
                    644:           separation monitor calls used for authentication and allow them
                    645:           only when their respective authentication methods are enabled
                    646:           in the configuration
                    647:       <li>sshd(8): Fix uninitialised optlen in getsockopt() call; harmless
                    648:           on Unix/BSD but potentially crashy on Cygwin.
                    649:       <li>Fix false positive reports caused by explicit_bzero(3) not being
                    650:           recognised as a memory initialiser when compiled with
                    651:           -fsanitize-memory.
                    652:       <li>sshd_config(5): Use 2001:db8::/32, the official IPv6 subnet for

                    656:       <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Allow form-feed characters to appear in
                    657:           configuration files.
                    658:       <li>sshd(8): Fix regression in OpenSSH 7.4 support for the
                    659:           server-sig-algs extension, where SHA2 RSA signature methods were
                    660:           not being correctly advertised.
                    661:       <li>ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): Fix a number of case-sensitivity bugs in
                    662:           known_hosts processing.
                    663:       <li>ssh(1): Allow ssh to use certificates accompanied by a private key
                    664:           file but no corresponding plain *.pub public key.
                    665:       <li>ssh(1): When updating hostkeys using the UpdateHostKeys option,
                    666:           accept RSA keys if HostkeyAlgorithms contains any RSA keytype.
                    667:           Previously, ssh could ignore RSA keys when only the ssh-rsa-sha2-*
                    668:           methods were enabled in HostkeyAlgorithms and not the old ssh-rsa
                    669:           method.
                    670:       <li>ssh(1): Detect and report excessively long configuration file

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

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

1.61      beck      723: <li>LibreSSL 2.5.3
1.80      deraadt   724:     <ul>
                    725:     <li>libtls now supports ALPN and SNI
                    726:     <li>libtls adds a new callback interface for integrating custom IO
                    727:        functions. Thanks to Tobias Pape.
                    728:     <li>libtls now handles 4 cipher suite groups:
                    729:        <ul>
                    730:        <li>"secure" (TLSv1.2+AEAD+PFS)

                    734:        </ul>
                    735:        This allows for flexibility and finer grained control, rather than
                    736:        having two extremes (an issue raised by Marko Kreen some time ago).
                    737:     <li>Tightened error handling for tls_config_set_ciphers().
                    738:     <li>libtls now always loads CA, key and certificate files at the time the
                    739:        configuration function is called. This simplifies code and results in
                    740:        a single memory based code path being used to provide data to libssl.
1.84      jsing     741:     <li>Added support for OCSP intermediate certificates.
                    742:     <li>Added X509_check_host(), X509_check_email(), X509_check_ip(), and
                    743:        X509_check_ip_asc() functions, via BoringSSL.
1.80      deraadt   744:     <li>Added initial support for iOS, thanks to Jacob Berkman.
                    745:     <li>Improved behavior of arc4random on Windows when using memory leak
                    746:        analysis software.
                    747:     <li>Correctly handle an EOF that occurs prior to the TLS handshake
                    748:        completing. Reported by Vasily Kolobkov, based on a diff from Marko
                    749:        Kreen.
1.84      jsing     750:     <li>Limit the support of the "backward compatible" SSLv2 handshake to
1.80      deraadt   751:        only be used if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
                    752:     <li>Fix incorrect results in certain cases on 64-bit systems when
                    753:        BN_mod_word() can return incorrect results. BN_mod_word() now can
                    754:        return an error condition. Thanks to Brian Smith.

                    794:        previous SSL{_CTX}_set1_curves{_list} names. This also changes
                    795:        the default list of curves to be X25519, P-256 and P-384. All
                    796:        other curves must be manually enabled.
                    797:     <li>Added -groups option to openssl(1) s_client for specifying the
                    798:        curves to be used in a colon-separated list.
                    799:     <li>Merged client/server version negotiation code paths into one,

                    803:        read.
                    804:     <li>Added SSL_OP_NO_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION option that disallows
                    805:        client-initiated renegotiation. This is the default for libtls
                    806:        servers.
                    807:     <li>Avoid a side-channel cache-timing attack that can leak the ECDSA
                    808:        private keys when signing. This is due to BN_mod_inverse() being
                    809:        used without the constant time flag being set. Reported by Cesar
                    810:        Pereida Garcia and Billy Brumley (Tampere University of
                    811:        Technology).  The fix was developed by Cesar Pereida Garcia.

                    813:        Berkman.
                    814:     <li>Added the recallocarray(3) memory allocation function, and
                    815:        converted various places in the library to use it, such as CBB
                    816:        and BUF_MEM_grow.  recallocarray(3) is similar to
                    817:        reallocarray. Newly allocated memory is cleared similar to
                    818:        calloc(3). Memory that becomes unallocated while shrinking or
                    819:        moving existing allocations is explicitly discarded by unmapping
                    820:        or clearing to 0.
                    821:     <li>Added new root CAs from SECOM Trust Systems / Security
                    822:        Communication of Japan.
                    823:     <li>Added EVP interface for MD5+SHA1 hashes.
                    824:     <li>Improved nc(1) TLS handshake CPU usage and server-side error
                    825:        reporting.
1.84      jsing     826:     <li>Added a constant time version of BN_gcd and use it default for
1.80      deraadt   827:        BN_gcd to avoid the possibility of sidechannel timing attacks
                    828:        against RSA private key generation - Thanks to Alejandro
