1.22 jsg 480: <li>OpenSSH 7.7
1.1 deraadt 481: <ul>
482: <li>New/changed features:
483: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 484: <li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
485: Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
486: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
487: The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
488: default.
489: <li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
490: to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
491: domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
492: and Linux).
493: <li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
494: ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
495: domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
496: <li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
497: session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
498: supported on OpenBSD at present.
499: <li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
500: allow for expiring keys.
501: <li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
502: connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
1.50 jsg 503: BindAddress).
1.47 deraadt 504: <li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
505: %T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
506: to prepare the interface.
507: <li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
508: new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
509: the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
510: the server.
511: <li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
512: ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
513: parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
514: implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
515: deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
516: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
517: only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
518: <li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
519: argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
520: usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
521: the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
522: directory). bz#2760
523: <li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
524: attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
525: incomplete list of) all criteria.
1.1 deraadt 526: </ul>
527: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
528: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 529: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
530: exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
531: signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
532: <li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
533: of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
534: SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
535: support. bz#2810
536: <li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
537: a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
538: when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
539: <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
540: to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
541: <li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
542: has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
543: <li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
544: Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
545: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
546: in SSHFP format. bz#2821
547: <li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
548: removal. bz#2823
549: <li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
550: connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
551: <li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
552: started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
553: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
554: number of principals.
555: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
556: public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
557: ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
558: <li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
559: automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
560: to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
561: against known_hosts. bz#2763
562: <li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
563: prompts. bz#2803
564: <li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
565: decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
566: polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
567: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
568: time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
569: over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
570: steps.
571: <li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
1.1 deraadt 572: </ul>

575:
1.22 jsg 576: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 577: <ul>
578: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
579: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
580: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
581: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
582: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
583: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
584: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
585: no pre-existing documentation.
586: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
587: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
588: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
589: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
590: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
591: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
592: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
593: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
594: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
595: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
596: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
597: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
598: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
599: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
600: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
601: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
602: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
603: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
604: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
605: duplicated code.

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

957: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
958: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
959: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

977: if you know nothing about ports
978: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
979: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
980: OpenBSD ports system.
981: <p>
982: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
983: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
984: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
985: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
986: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
987: with a command like:
988:
989: <blockquote><pre>
990: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
991: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
992: </pre></blockquote>
993:
994: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
995: server.]
996: <p>
997: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
998: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
999: <p>
1000: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1001: would like to know more, the mailing list
1002: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
