1.22 jsg 479: <li>OpenSSH 7.7
1.1 deraadt 480: <ul>
481: <li>New/changed features:
482: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 483: <li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
484: Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
485: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
486: The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
487: default.
488: <li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
489: to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
490: domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
491: and Linux).
492: <li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
493: ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
494: domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
495: <li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
496: session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
497: supported on OpenBSD at present.
498: <li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
499: allow for expiring keys.
500: <li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
501: connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
1.50 jsg 502: BindAddress).
1.47 deraadt 503: <li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
504: %T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
505: to prepare the interface.
506: <li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
507: new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
508: the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
509: the server.
510: <li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
511: ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
512: parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
513: implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
514: deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
515: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
516: only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
517: <li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
518: argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
519: usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
520: the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
521: directory). bz#2760
522: <li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
523: attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
524: incomplete list of) all criteria.
1.1 deraadt 525: </ul>
526: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
527: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 528: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
529: exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
530: signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
531: <li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
532: of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
533: SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
534: support. bz#2810
535: <li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
536: a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
537: when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
538: <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
539: to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
540: <li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
541: has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
542: <li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
543: Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
544: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
545: in SSHFP format. bz#2821
546: <li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
547: removal. bz#2823
548: <li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
549: connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
550: <li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
551: started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
552: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
553: number of principals.
554: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
555: public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
556: ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
557: <li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
558: automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
559: to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
560: against known_hosts. bz#2763
561: <li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
562: prompts. bz#2803
563: <li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
564: decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
565: polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
566: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
567: time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
568: over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
569: steps.
570: <li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
1.1 deraadt 571: </ul>

574:
1.22 jsg 575: <li>LibreSSL 2.7.2
1.29 beck 576: <ul>
577: <li> Added support for many OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs, based on
578: observations of real-world usage in applications. These are
579: implemented in parallel with existing OpenSSL 1.0.1 APIs - visibility
580: changes have not been made to existing structs, allowing code written
581: for older OpenSSL APIs to continue working.
582: <li> Extensive corrections, improvements, and additions to the
583: API documentation, including new public APIs from OpenSSL that had
584: no pre-existing documentation.
585: <li> Added support for automatic library initialization in libcrypto,
586: libssl, and libtls. Support for pthread_once or a compatible
587: equivalent is now required of the target operating system. As a
588: side-effect, minimum Windows support is Vista or higher.
589: <li> Converted more packet handling methods to CBB, which improves
590: resiliency when generating TLS messages.
591: <li> Completed TLS extension handling rewrite, improving consistency of
592: checks for malformed and duplicate extensions.
593: <li>Rewrote ASN1_TYPE_{get,set}_octetstring() using templated ASN.1.
594: This removes the last remaining use of the old M_ASN1_* macros
595: (asn1_mac.h) from API that needs to continue to exist.
596: <li> Added support for client-side session resumption in libtls.
597: A libtls client can specify a session file descriptor (a regular
598: file with appropriate ownership and permissions) and libtls will
599: manage reading and writing of session data across TLS handshakes.
600: <li> Improved support for strict alignment on ARMv7 architectures,
601: conditionally enabling assembly in those cases.
602: <li> Fixed a memory leak in libtls when reusing a tls_config.
603: <li> Merged more DTLS support into the regular TLS code path, removing
604: duplicated code.

939:
940: <blockquote><pre>
941: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
942: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
943: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

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

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

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