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

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

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