1.31 bluhm 559: <li>Add RemoteCommand option to specify a command in the
560: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
561: config file instead of giving it on the client's command
562: line.
563: The feature allows to automate tasks using ssh config.
1.56 djm 564: <li>sshd(8): add ExposeAuthInfo option that enables writing details of
565: the authentication methods used (including public keys where
566: applicable) to a file that is exposed via a $SSH_USER_AUTH
567: environment variable in the subsequent session.
568: <li>ssh(1): add support for reverse dynamic forwarding. In this mode,
569: ssh will act as a SOCKS4/5 proxy and forward connections
570: to destinations requested by the remote SOCKS client. This mode
571: is requested using extended syntax for the -R and RemoteForward
572: options and, because it is implemented solely at the client,
573: does not require the server be updated to be supported.
574: <li>sshd(8): allow LogLevel directive in sshd_config Match blocks.
575: <li>ssh-keygen(1): allow inclusion of arbitrary string or flag
1.67 rob 576: certificate extensions and critical options.
1.56 djm 577: <li>ssh-keygen(1): allow ssh-keygen to use a key held in ssh-agent as
578: a CA when signing certificates.
579: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): allow IPQoS=none in ssh/sshd to not set an explicit
580: ToS/DSCP value and just use the operating system default.
581: <li>ssh-add(1): added -q option to make ssh-add quiet on success.
582: <li>ssh(1): expand the StrictHostKeyChecking option with two new
583: settings. The first "accept-new" will automatically accept
584: hitherto-unseen keys but will refuse connections for changed or
585: invalid hostkeys. This is a safer subset of the current behaviour
586: of StrictHostKeyChecking=no. The second setting "off", is a synonym
587: for the current behaviour of StrictHostKeyChecking=no: accept new
588: host keys, and continue connection for hosts with incorrect
589: hostkeys. A future release will change the meaning of
590: StrictHostKeyChecking=no to the behaviour of "accept-new".
591: <li>ssh(1): add SyslogFacility option to ssh(1) matching the equivalent
592: option in sshd(8).
1.1 deraadt 593: </ul>
594: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
595: <ul>
1.56 djm 596: <li>ssh(1): use HostKeyAlias if specified instead of hostname for
1.69 rob 597: matching host certificate principal names.
1.56 djm 598: <li>sftp(1): implement sorting for globbed ls.
599: <li>ssh(1): add a user@host prefix to client's "Permission denied"
600: messages, useful in particular when using "stacked" connections
601: (e.g. ssh -J) where it's not clear which host is denying.
602: <li>ssh(1): accept unknown EXT_INFO extension values that contain \0
603: characters. These are legal, but would previously cause fatal
604: connection errors if received.
605: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): repair compression statistics printed at
606: connection exit.
607: <li>sftp(1): print '?' instead of incorrect link count (that the
608: protocol doesn't provide) for remote listings.
609: <li>ssh(1): return failure rather than fatal() for more cases during
610: session multiplexing negotiations. Causes the session to fall back
611: to a non-mux connection if they occur.
612: <li>ssh(1): mention that the server may send debug messages to explain
613: public key authentication problems under some circumstances.
614: <li>Translate OpenSSL error codes to better report incorrect passphrase
615: errors when loading private keys.
616: <li>sshd(8): adjust compatibility patterns for WinSCP to correctly
617: identify versions that implement only the legacy DH group exchange
618: scheme.
619: <li>ssh(1): print the "Killed by signal 1" message only at LogLevel
620: verbose so that it is not shown at the default level; prevents it
621: from appearing during ssh -J and equivalent ProxyCommand configs.
622: <li>ssh-keygen(1): when generating all hostkeys (ssh-keygen -A), clobber
623: existing keys if they exist but are zero length. zero-length keys
624: could previously be made if ssh-keygen failed or was interrupted part
625: way through generating them.
626: <li>ssh(1): fix pledge(2) violation in the escape sequence "~&" used to
627: place the current session in the background.
628: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): avoid double-close() on file descriptors.
629: <li>sshd(8): avoid reliance on shared use of pointers shared between
630: monitor and child sshd processes.
631: <li>sshd_config(8): document available AuthenticationMethods.
632: <li>ssh(1): avoid truncation in some login prompts.
633: <li>ssh(1): make "--" before the hostname terminate argument processing
634: after the hostname too.
635: <li>ssh-keygen(1): switch from aes256-cbc to aes256-ctr for encrypting
636: new-style private keys. Fixes problems related to private key
637: handling for no-OpenSSL builds.
638: <li>ssh(1): warn and do not attempt to use keys when the public and
639: private halves do not match.
640: <li>sftp(1): don't print verbose error message when ssh disconnects
641: from under sftp.
642: <li>sshd(8): fix keepalive scheduling problem: activity on a forwarded
643: port from preventing the keepalive from being sent.
644: <li>sshd(8): when started without root privileges, don't require the
645: privilege separation user or path to exist. Makes running the
646: regression tests easier without touching the filesystem.
647: <li>Make integrity.sh regression tests more robust against timeouts.
648: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): correctness fix for channels implementation: accept
649: channel IDs greater than 0x7FFFFFFF.

663: <li>Cleaned up and simplified server key exchange EC point handling.
664: <li>Removed inconsistent IPv6 handling from BIO_get_accept_socket(),
665: simplified BIO_get_host_ip() and BIO_accept().
666: <li>Added definitions for three OIDs used in EV certificates.
667: <li>Relaxed SNI validation to allow non-RFC-compliant clients using literal
668: IP addresses with SNI to connect to a libtls-based TLS server.
669: <li>Added tls_peer_cert_chain_pem() to libtls, useful in private certificate
670: validation callbacks such as those in relayd.
671: <li>Converted explicit clear/free sequences to use

692: call, simplifying lifetime tracking for the application.
693: <li>Dropped cipher suites using DSS authentication.
694: <li>Removed support for DSS/DSA from libssl.
695: <li>Distinguish between self-issued certificates and self-signed
696: certificates. The certificate verification code has special cases
697: for self-signed certificates and without this change, self-issued
698: certificates (which it seems are common place with

700: <li>Added a new TLS extension handling framework and converted all
701: TLS extensions to use it.
702: <li>Improved and added many new manpages. Updated
703: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/SSL_CTX_check_private_key.3">SSL_{CTX_,}check_private_key(3)</a>
704: manpages with additional cautions regarding their use.

707: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_set_ecdhecurves.3">tls_config_set_ecdhecurves(3)</a>
708: to libtls, which allows the names of the elliptical curves that may
709: be used during client and server key exchange to be specified.
710: <li>Converted more code paths to use CBB/CBS.
711: <li>Removed NPN support - NPN was never standardised and the last draft
712: expired in October 2012.
713: <li>Removed SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG workaround for old/broken
714: CryptoPro clients.
715: <li>Removed support for the TLS padding extension, which was added as a
1.60 jsing 716: workaround for an old bug in F5's TLS termination.
1.65 rob 717: <li>Added ability to clamp notafter values in certificates for systems
1.58 jsing 718: with 32-bit time_t. This is necessary to conform to RFC 5280 4.1.2.5.
719: <li>Removed the original (pre-IETF) chacha20-poly1305 cipher suites.
720: <li>Reclassified ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA from HIGH to MEDIUM.
721: <li>Provide a useful error with libtls if there are no OCSP URLs in a
722: peer certificate.
723: <li>Keep track of which keypair is in use by a TLS context, fixing a bug
724: where a TLS server with SNI would only return the OCSP staple for the
725: default keypair.
726: <li>If
727: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/tls_config_parse_protocols.3">tls_config_parse_protocols(3)</a>
728: is called with a NULL pointer it now
729: returns the default protocols.

1109: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
1110: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1111: To extract:
1112:
1113: <blockquote><pre>
1114: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
1115: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
1116: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

1119: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1120: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1121: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1122: Using these files
1123: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1124: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1138: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1139: if you know nothing about ports
1140: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1141: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1142: OpenBSD ports system.
1143: <p>
1144: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1145: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1146: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1.85 tj 1147: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1.1 deraadt 1148: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1149: with a command like:
1150:
1151: <blockquote><pre>
1152: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.15 phessler 1153: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_2</b>
1.1 deraadt 1154: </pre></blockquote>
1155:
1156: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1157: server.]
1158: <p>
1159: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1160: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
1161: <p>
1162: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1163: would like to know more, the mailing list
1164: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
