1.22 jsg 481: <li>OpenSSH 7.7
1.1 deraadt 482: <ul>
483: <li>New/changed features:
484: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 485: <li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
486: Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
487: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
488: The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
489: default.
490: <li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
491: to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
492: domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
493: and Linux).
494: <li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
495: ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
496: domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
497: <li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
498: session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
499: supported on OpenBSD at present.
500: <li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
501: allow for expiring keys.
502: <li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
503: connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
1.50 jsg 504: BindAddress).
1.47 deraadt 505: <li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
506: %T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
507: to prepare the interface.
508: <li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
509: new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
510: the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
511: the server.
512: <li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
513: ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
514: parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
515: implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
516: deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
517: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
518: only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
519: <li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
520: argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
521: usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
522: the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
523: directory). bz#2760
524: <li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
525: attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
526: incomplete list of) all criteria.
1.1 deraadt 527: </ul>
528: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
529: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 530: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
531: exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
532: signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
533: <li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
534: of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
535: SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
536: support. bz#2810
537: <li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
538: a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
539: when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
540: <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
541: to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
542: <li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
543: has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
544: <li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
545: Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
546: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
547: in SSHFP format. bz#2821
548: <li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
549: removal. bz#2823
550: <li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
551: connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
552: <li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
553: started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
554: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
555: number of principals.
556: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
557: public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
558: ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
559: <li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
560: automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
561: to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
562: against known_hosts. bz#2763
563: <li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
564: prompts. bz#2803
565: <li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
566: decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
567: polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
568: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
569: time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
570: over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
571: steps.
572: <li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
1.1 deraadt 573: </ul>

576:
1.22 jsg 577: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 578: <ul>
579: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
580: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
581: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
582: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
583: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
584: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
585: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
586: no pre-existing documentation.
587: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
588: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
589: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
590: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
591: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
592: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
593: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
594: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
595: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
596: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
597: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
598: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
599: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
600: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
601: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
602: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
603: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
604: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
605: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
606: duplicated code.

943: <blockquote><pre>
944: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
945: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
946: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

960: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
961: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

980: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
981: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
982: OpenBSD ports system.
983: <p>
984: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
985: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
986: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
987: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
988: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
989: with a command like:
990:
991: <blockquote><pre>
992: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
993: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
994: </pre></blockquote>
995:
996: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
997: server.]
998: <p>
999: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1000: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
1001: <p>
1002: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1003: would like to know more, the mailing list
1004: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
