1.22 jsg 491: <li>OpenSSH 7.7
1.1 deraadt 492: <ul>
493: <li>New/changed features:
494: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 495: <li>All: Add experimental support for PQC XMSS keys (Extended Hash-
496: Based Signatures) based on the algorithm described in
497: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures-12
498: The XMSS signature code is experimental and not compiled in by
499: default.
500: <li>sshd(8): Add a "rdomain" criteria for the sshd_config Match keyword
501: to allow conditional configuration that depends on which routing
502: domain a connection was received on (currently supported on OpenBSD
503: and Linux).
504: <li>sshd_config(5): Add an optional rdomain qualifier to the
505: ListenAddress directive to allow listening on different routing
506: domains. This is supported only on OpenBSD and Linux at present.
507: <li>sshd_config(5): Add RDomain directive to allow the authenticated
508: session to be placed in an explicit routing domain. This is only
509: supported on OpenBSD at present.
510: <li>sshd(8): Add "expiry-time" option for authorized_keys files to
511: allow for expiring keys.
512: <li>ssh(1): Add a BindInterface option to allow binding the outgoing
513: connection to an interface's address (basically a more usable
1.50 jsg 514: BindAddress).
1.47 deraadt 515: <li>ssh(1): Expose device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a new
516: %T expansion for LocalCommand. This allows LocalCommand to be used
517: to prepare the interface.
518: <li>sshd(8): Expose the device allocated for tun/tap forwarding via a
519: new SSH_TUNNEL environment variable. This allows automatic setup of
520: the interface and surrounding network configuration automatically on
521: the server.
522: <li>ssh(1)/scp(1)/sftp(1): Add URI support to ssh, sftp and scp, e.g.
523: ssh://user@host or sftp://user@host/path. Additional connection
524: parameters described in draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04 are not
525: implemented since the ssh fingerprint format in the draft uses the
526: deprecated MD5 hash with no way to specify the any other algorithm.
527: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Allow certificate validity intervals that specify
528: only a start or stop time (instead of both or neither).
529: <li>sftp(1): Allow "cd" and "lcd" commands with no explicit path
530: argument. lcd will change to the local user's home directory as
531: usual. cd will change to the starting directory for session (because
532: the protocol offers no way to obtain the remote user's home
533: directory). bz#2760
534: <li>sshd(8): When doing a config test with sshd -T, only require the
535: attributes that are actually used in Match criteria rather than (an
536: incomplete list of) all criteria.
1.1 deraadt 537: </ul>
538: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
539: <ul>
1.47 deraadt 540: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): More strictly check signature types during key
541: exchange against what was negotiated. Prevents downgrade of RSA
542: signatures made with SHA-256/512 to SHA-1.
543: <li>sshd(8): Fix support for client that advertise a protocol version
544: of "1.99" (indicating that they are prepared to accept both SSHv1 and
545: SSHv2). This was broken in OpenSSH 7.6 during the removal of SSHv1
546: support. bz#2810
547: <li>ssh(1): Warn when the agent returns a ssh-rsa (SHA1) signature when
548: a rsa-sha2-256/512 signature was requested. This condition is possible
549: when an old or non-OpenSSH agent is in use. bz#2799
550: <li>ssh-agent(1): Fix regression introduce in 7.6 that caused ssh-agent
551: to fatally exit if presented an invalid signature request message.
552: <li>sshd_config(5): Accept yes/no flag options case-insensitively, as
553: has been the case in ssh_config(5) for a long time. bz#2664
554: <li>ssh(1): Improve error reporting for failures during connection.
555: Under some circumstances misleading errors were being shows. bz#2814
556: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Add -D option to allow printing of results directly
557: in SSHFP format. bz#2821
558: <li>regress tests: fix PuTTY interop test broken in last release's SSHv1
559: removal. bz#2823
560: <li>ssh(1): Compatibility fix for some servers that erroneously drop the
561: connection when the IUTF8 (RFC8160) option is sent.
562: <li>scp(1): Disable RemoteCommand and RequestTTY in the ssh session
563: started by scp (sftp was already doing this.)
564: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Refuse to create a certificate with an unusable
565: number of principals.
566: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Fatally exit if ssh-keygen is unable to write all the
567: public key during key generation. Previously it would silently
568: ignore errors writing the comment and terminating newline.
569: <li>ssh(1): Do not modify hostname arguments that are addresses by
570: automatically forcing them to lower-case. Instead canonicalise them
571: to resolve ambiguities (e.g. ::0001 => ::1) before they are matched
572: against known_hosts. bz#2763
573: <li>ssh(1): Don't accept junk after "yes" or "no" responses to hostkey
574: prompts. bz#2803
575: <li>sftp(1): Have sftp print a warning about shell cleanliness when
576: decoding the first packet fails, which is usually caused by shells
577: polluting stdout of non-interactive startups. bz#2800
578: <li>ssh(1)/sshd(8): Switch timers in packet code from using wall-clock
579: time to monotonic time, allowing the packet layer to better function
580: over a clock step and avoiding possible integer overflows during
581: steps.
582: <li>Numerous manual page fixes and improvements.
1.1 deraadt 583: </ul>

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

990: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
991: OpenBSD ports system.
992: <p>
993: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
994: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
995: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
996: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
997: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
998: with a command like:
999:
1000: <blockquote><pre>
1001: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1002: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
1003: </pre></blockquote>
1004:
1005: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1006: server.]
1007: <p>
1008: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1009: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
1010: <p>
1011: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1012: would like to know more, the mailing list
1013: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
