460:
1.63 deraadt 461: <li>OpenSSH 8.0
462: <ul>
463: <li>New Features
464: <ul>
465: <li>ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-add(1): Add support for ECDSA keys in
466: PKCS#11 tokens.
467: <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): Add experimental quantum-computing resistant
468: key exchange method, based on a combination of Streamlined NTRU
469: Prime 4591^761 and X25519.
470: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Increase the default RSA key size to 3072 bits,
471: following NIST Special Publication 800-57's guidance for a
472: 128-bit equivalent symmetric security level.
473: <li>ssh(1): Allow "PKCS11Provider=none" to override later instances of
474: the PKCS11Provider directive in ssh_config; bz#2974
475: <li>sshd(8): Add a log message for situations where a connection is
476: dropped for attempting to run a command but a sshd_config
477: ForceCommand=internal-sftp restriction is in effect; bz#2960
478: <li>ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept
479: the key fingerprint as a synonym for "yes". This allows the user
480: to paste a fingerprint obtained out of band at the prompt and
481: have the client do the comparison for you.
482: <li>ssh-keygen(1): When signing multiple certificates on a single
483: command-line invocation, allow automatically incrementing the
484: certificate serial number.
485: <li>scp(1), sftp(1): Accept -J option as an alias to ProxyJump on
486: the scp and sftp command-lines.
487: <li>ssh-agent(1), ssh-pkcs11-helper(8), ssh-add(1): Accept "-v"
488: command-line flags to increase the verbosity of output; pass
489: verbose flags though to subprocesses, such as ssh-pkcs11-helper
490: started from ssh-agent.
491: <li>ssh-add(1): Add a "-T" option to allowing testing whether keys in
492: an agent are usable by performing a signature and a verification.
493: <li>sftp-server(8): Add a "lsetstat@openssh.com" protocol extension
494: that replicates the functionality of the existing SSH2_FXP_SETSTAT
495: operation but does not follow symlinks. bz#2067
496: <li>sftp(1): Add "-h" flag to chown/chgrp/chmod commands to request
497: they do not follow symlinks.
498: <li>sshd(8): Expose $SSH_CONNECTION in the PAM environment. This makes
499: the connection 4-tuple available to PAM modules that wish to use
500: it in decision-making. bz#2741
501: <li>sshd(8): Add a ssh_config "Match final" predicate Matches in same
502: pass as "Match canonical" but doesn't require hostname
503: canonicalisation be enabled. bz#2906
504: <li>sftp(1): Support a prefix of '@' to suppress echo of sftp batch
505: commands; bz#2926
506: <li>ssh-keygen(1): When printing certificate contents using
507: "ssh-keygen -Lf /path/certificate", include the algorithm that
508: the CA used to sign the cert.
509: </ul>
510: <li>Bugfixes
511: <ul>
512: <li>sshd(8): Fix authentication failures when sshd_config contains
513: "AuthenticationMethods any" inside a Match block that overrides
514: a more restrictive default.
515: <li>sshd(8): Avoid sending duplicate keepalives when ClientAliveCount
516: is enabled.
517: <li>sshd(8): Fix two race conditions related to SIGHUP daemon restart.
518: Remnant file descriptors in recently-forked child processes could
519: block the parent sshd's attempt to listen(2) to the configured
520: addresses. Also, the restarting parent sshd could exit before any
521: child processes that were awaiting their re-execution state had
522: completed reading it, leaving them in a fallback path.
523: <li>ssh(1): Fix stdout potentially being redirected to /dev/null when
524: ProxyCommand=- was in use.
525: <li>sshd(8): Avoid sending SIGPIPE to child processes if they attempt
526: to write to stderr after their parent processes have exited;
527: bz#2071
528: <li>ssh(1): Fix bad interaction between the ssh_config ConnectTimeout
529: and ConnectionAttempts directives - connection attempts after the
530: first were ignoring the requested timeout; bz#2918
531: <li>ssh-keyscan(1): Return a non-zero exit status if no keys were
532: found; bz#2903
533: <li>scp(1): Sanitize scp filenames to allow UTF-8 characters without
534: terminal control sequences; bz#2434
535: <li>sshd(8): Fix confusion between ClientAliveInterval and time-based
536: RekeyLimit that could cause connections to be incorrectly closed.
537: bz#2757
538: <li>ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Correct some bugs in PKCS#11 token PIN
539: handling at initial token login. The attempt to read the PIN
540: could be skipped in some cases, particularly on devices with
541: integrated PIN readers. This would lead to an inability to
542: retrieve keys from these tokens. bz#2652
543: <li>ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Support keys on PKCS#11 tokens that set the
544: CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE flag by requring a fresh login after the
545: C_SignInit operation. bz#2638
546: <li>ssh(1): Improve documentation for ProxyJump/-J, clarifying that
547: local configuration does not apply to jump hosts.
548: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual - ssh-keygen -e only writes
549: public keys, not private.
550: <li>ssh(1), sshd(8): be more strict in processing protocol banners,
551: allowing \r characters only immediately before \n.
552: <li>Various: fix a number of memory leaks, including bz#2942 and
553: bz#2938
554: <li>scp(1), sftp(1): fix calculation of initial bandwidth limits.
555: Account for bytes written before the timer starts and adjust the
556: schedule on which recalculations are performed. Avoids an initial
557: burst of traffic and yields more accurate bandwidth limits;
558: bz#2927
559: <li>sshd(8): Only consider the ext-info-c extension during the initial
560: key eschange. It shouldn't be sent in subsequent ones, but if it
561: is present we should ignore it. This prevents sshd from sending a
562: SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO for REKEX for buggy these clients. bz#2929
1.85 bcook 563: <li>ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual that ssh-keygen -F (find host in
1.63 deraadt 564: authorized_keys) and -R (remove host from authorized_keys) options
565: may accept either a bare hostname or a [hostname]:port combo.
566: bz#2935
567: <li>ssh(1): Don't attempt to connect to empty SSH_AUTH_SOCK; bz#2936
568: <li>sshd(8): Silence error messages when sshd fails to load some of
569: the default host keys. Failure to load an explicitly-configured
570: hostkey is still an error, and failure to load any host key is
571: still fatal. pr/103
572: <li>ssh(1): Redirect stderr of ProxyCommands to /dev/null when ssh is
573: started with ControlPersist; prevents random ProxyCommand output
574: from interfering with session output.
575: <li>ssh(1): The ssh client was keeping a redundant ssh-agent socket
576: (leftover from authentication) around for the life of the
577: connection; bz#2912
578: <li>sshd(8): Fix bug in HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes and
579: PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes options. If only RSA-SHA2 siganture types
580: were specified, then authentication would always fail for RSA keys
581: as the monitor checks only the base key (not the signature
582: algorithm) type against *AcceptedKeyTypes. bz#2746
583: <li>ssh(1): Request correct signature types from ssh-agent when
584: certificate keys and RSA-SHA2 signatures are in use.

955: To extract:
956:
957: <blockquote><pre>
958: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
959: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
960: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

962:
963: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
964: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
965: To extract:

992: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
993: if you know nothing about ports
994: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
995: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
996: OpenBSD ports system.
997: <p>
998: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
999: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1000: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1001: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1002: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1003: with a command like:
1004:
1005: <blockquote><pre>
1006: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.11 beck 1007: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>
1.1 beck 1008: </pre></blockquote>
1009:
1010: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1011: server.]
1012: <p>
1013: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1014: ports for the 6.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1015: <p>
1016: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1017: would like to know more, the mailing list
1018: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
