1.63 deraadt 433: <li>OpenSSH 8.0
434: <ul>
435: <li>New Features
436: <ul>
437: <li>ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-add(1): Add support for ECDSA keys in
438: PKCS#11 tokens.
439: <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Add experimental quantum-computing resistant
440: key exchange method, based on a combination of Streamlined NTRU
441: Prime 4591^761 and X25519.
442: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Increase the default RSA key size to 3072 bits,
443: following NIST Special Publication 800-57's guidance for a
444: 128-bit equivalent symmetric security level.
445: <li>ssh(1): Allow "PKCS11Provider=none" to override later instances of
446: the PKCS11Provider directive in ssh_config; bz#2974
447: <li>sshd(8): Add a log message for situations where a connection is
448: dropped for attempting to run a command but a sshd_config
449: ForceCommand=internal-sftp restriction is in effect; bz#2960
450: <li>ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept
451: the key fingerprint as a synonym for "yes". This allows the user
452: to paste a fingerprint obtained out of band at the prompt and
453: have the client do the comparison for you.
454: <li>ssh-keygen(1): When signing multiple certificates on a single
455: command-line invocation, allow automatically incrementing the
456: certificate serial number.
457: <li>scp(1), sftp(1): Accept -J option as an alias to ProxyJump on
458: the scp and sftp command-lines.
459: <li>ssh-agent(1), ssh-pkcs11-helper(8), ssh-add(1): Accept "-v"
460: command-line flags to increase the verbosity of output; pass
461: verbose flags though to subprocesses, such as ssh-pkcs11-helper
462: started from ssh-agent.
463: <li>ssh-add(1): Add a "-T" option to allowing testing whether keys in
464: an agent are usable by performing a signature and a verification.
465: <li>sftp-server(8): Add a "lsetstat@openssh.com" protocol extension
466: that replicates the functionality of the existing SSH2_FXP_SETSTAT
467: operation but does not follow symlinks. bz#2067
468: <li>sftp(1): Add "-h" flag to chown/chgrp/chmod commands to request
469: they do not follow symlinks.
470: <li>sshd(8): Expose $SSH_CONNECTION in the PAM environment. This makes
471: the connection 4-tuple available to PAM modules that wish to use
472: it in decision-making. bz#2741
473: <li>sshd(8): Add a ssh_config "Match final" predicate Matches in same
474: pass as "Match canonical" but doesn't require hostname
475: canonicalisation be enabled. bz#2906
476: <li>sftp(1): Support a prefix of '@' to suppress echo of sftp batch
477: commands; bz#2926
478: <li>ssh-keygen(1): When printing certificate contents using
479: "ssh-keygen -Lf /path/certificate", include the algorithm that
480: the CA used to sign the cert.
481: </ul>
482: <li>Bugfixes
483: <ul>
484: <li>sshd(8): Fix authentication failures when sshd_config contains
485: "AuthenticationMethods any" inside a Match block that overrides
486: a more restrictive default.
487: <li>sshd(8): Avoid sending duplicate keepalives when ClientAliveCount
488: is enabled.
489: <li>sshd(8): Fix two race conditions related to SIGHUP daemon restart.
490: Remnant file descriptors in recently-forked child processes could
491: block the parent sshd's attempt to listen(2) to the configured
492: addresses. Also, the restarting parent sshd could exit before any
493: child processes that were awaiting their re-execution state had
494: completed reading it, leaving them in a fallback path.
495: <li>ssh(1): Fix stdout potentially being redirected to /dev/null when
496: ProxyCommand=- was in use.
497: <li>sshd(8): Avoid sending SIGPIPE to child processes if they attempt
498: to write to stderr after their parent processes have exited;
499: bz#2071
500: <li>ssh(1): Fix bad interaction between the ssh_config ConnectTimeout
501: and ConnectionAttempts directives - connection attempts after the
502: first were ignoring the requested timeout; bz#2918
503: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Return a non-zero exit status if no keys were
504: found; bz#2903
505: <li>scp(1): Sanitize scp filenames to allow UTF-8 characters without
506: terminal control sequences; bz#2434
507: <li>sshd(8): Fix confusion between ClientAliveInterval and time-based
508: RekeyLimit that could cause connections to be incorrectly closed.
509: bz#2757
510: <li>ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Correct some bugs in PKCS#11 token PIN
511: handling at initial token login. The attempt to read the PIN
512: could be skipped in some cases, particularly on devices with
513: integrated PIN readers. This would lead to an inability to
514: retrieve keys from these tokens. bz#2652
515: <li>ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Support keys on PKCS#11 tokens that set the
516: CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE flag by requring a fresh login after the
517: C_SignInit operation. bz#2638
518: <li>ssh(1): Improve documentation for ProxyJump/-J, clarifying that
519: local configuration does not apply to jump hosts.
520: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual - ssh-keygen -e only writes
521: public keys, not private.
522: <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): be more strict in processing protocol banners,
523: allowing \r characters only immediately before \n.
524: <li>Various: fix a number of memory leaks, including bz#2942 and
525: bz#2938
526: <li>scp(1), sftp(1): fix calculation of initial bandwidth limits.
527: Account for bytes written before the timer starts and adjust the
528: schedule on which recalculations are performed. Avoids an initial
529: burst of traffic and yields more accurate bandwidth limits;
530: bz#2927
531: <li>sshd(8): Only consider the ext-info-c extension during the initial
532: key eschange. It shouldn't be sent in subsequent ones, but if it
533: is present we should ignore it. This prevents sshd from sending a
534: SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO for REKEX for buggy these clients. bz#2929
535: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual that ssh-keygen -F (find host in
536: authorized_keys) and -R (remove host from authorized_keys) options
537: may accept either a bare hostname or a [hostname]:port combo.
538: bz#2935
539: <li>ssh(1): Don't attempt to connect to empty SSH_AUTH_SOCK; bz#2936
540: <li>sshd(8): Silence error messages when sshd fails to load some of
541: the default host keys. Failure to load an explicitly-configured
542: hostkey is still an error, and failure to load any host key is
543: still fatal. pr/103
544: <li>ssh(1): Redirect stderr of ProxyCommands to /dev/null when ssh is
545: started with ControlPersist; prevents random ProxyCommand output
546: from interfering with session output.
547: <li>ssh(1): The ssh client was keeping a redundant ssh-agent socket
548: (leftover from authentication) around for the life of the
549: connection; bz#2912
550: <li>sshd(8): Fix bug in HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes and
551: PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes options. If only RSA-SHA2 siganture types
552: were specified, then authentication would always fail for RSA keys
553: as the monitor checks only the base key (not the signature
554: algorithm) type against *AcceptedKeyTypes. bz#2746
555: <li>ssh(1): Request correct signature types from ssh-agent when
556: certificate keys and RSA-SHA2 signatures are in use.

931: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
932: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

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

966: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
967: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
968: OpenBSD ports system.
969: <p>
970: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
971: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
972: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
973: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
974: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
975: with a command like:
976:
977: <blockquote><pre>
978: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.11 beck 979: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>
1.1 beck 980: </pre></blockquote>
981:
982: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
983: server.]
984: <p>
985: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
986: ports for the 6.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
987: <p>
988: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
989: would like to know more, the mailing list
990: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
