1.22 jsg 435: <li>OpenSSH 7.7
1.1 deraadt 436: <ul>
437: <li>New/changed features:
438: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 439: <li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
440: Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
441: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
442: The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
443: default.
444: <li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
445: to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
446: domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
447: and Linux).
448: <li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
449: ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
450: domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
451: <li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
452: session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
453: supported on OpenBSD at present.
454: <li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
455: allow for expiring keys.
456: <li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
457: connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
458: BindAddress)
459: <li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
460: %T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
461: to prepare the interface.
462: <li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
463: new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
464: the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
465: the server.
466: <li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
467: ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
468: parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
469: implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
470: deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
471: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
472: only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
473: <li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
474: argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
475: usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
476: the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
477: directory). bz#2760
478: <li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
479: attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
480: incomplete list of) all criteria.
1.1 deraadt 481: </ul>
482: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
483: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 484: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
485: exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
486: signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
487: <li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
488: of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
489: SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
490: support. bz#2810
491: <li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
492: a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
493: when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
494: <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
495: to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
496: <li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
497: has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
498: <li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
499: Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
500: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
501: in SSHFP format. bz#2821
502: <li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
503: removal. bz#2823
504: <li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
505: connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
506: <li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
507: started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
508: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
509: number of principals.
510: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
511: public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
512: ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
513: <li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
514: automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
515: to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
516: against known_hosts. bz#2763
517: <li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
518: prompts. bz#2803
519: <li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
520: decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
521: polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
522: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
523: time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
524: over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
525: steps.
526: <li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
1.1 deraadt 527: </ul>
528: </ul>
529: <p>
530:
1.22 jsg 531: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 532: <ul>
533: <li> Fixed a bug in int_x509_param_set_hosts, calling strlen() if name
534: length provided is 0 to match the OpenSSL behaviour. Issue noticed
1.45 jsg 535: by Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>.
1.29 beck 536: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
537: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
538: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
539: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
540: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
541: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
542: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
543: no pre-existing documentation.
544: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
545: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
546: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
547: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
548: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
549: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
550: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
551: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
552: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
553: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
554: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
555: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
556: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
557: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
558: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
559: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
560: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
561: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
562: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
563: duplicated code.

893: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

895: To extract:
896:
897: <blockquote><pre>
898: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
899: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
900: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

902:
903: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

932: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
933: if you know nothing about ports
934: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
935: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
936: OpenBSD ports system.
937: <p>
938: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
939: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
940: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
941: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
942: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
943: with a command like:
944:
945: <blockquote><pre>
946: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
947: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
948: </pre></blockquote>
949:
950: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
951: server.]
952: <p>
953: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
954: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
955: <p>
956: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
957: would like to know more, the mailing list
958: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
