587: so-called "Terrapin attack" discovered by Fabian Bäumer, Marcus
588: Brinkmann and Jörg Schwenk. This attack allows a MITM to effect a
589: limited break of the integrity of the early encrypted SSH transport
590: protocol by sending extra messages prior to the commencement of
591: encryption, and deleting an equal number of consecutive messages
592: immediately after encryption starts. A peer SSH client/server
593: would not be able to detect that messages were deleted.
594:
595: <br>While cryptographically novel, the security impact of this attack
596: is fortunately very limited as it only allows deletion of
597: consecutive messages, and deleting most messages at this stage of
1.17 gnezdo 598: the protocol prevents user authentication from proceeding and
1.16 djm 599: results in a stuck connection.
600:
601: <br>The most serious identified impact is that it lets a MITM to
602: delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication
603: starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke
604: timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5. There is no
605: other discernable impact to session secrecy or session integrity.
606:
607: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1'>ssh-agent(1)</a>: when adding PKCS#11-hosted private keys while
608: specifying destination constraints, if the PKCS#11 token returned
609: multiple keys then only the first key had the constraints applied.
610: Use of regular private keys, FIDO tokens and unconstrained keys
611: are unaffected.
612:
613: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>: if an invalid user or hostname that contained shell
614: metacharacters was passed to <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, and a ProxyCommand,
615: LocalCommand directive or "match exec" predicate referenced the
616: user or hostname via %u, %h or similar expansion token, then
617: an attacker who could supply arbitrary user/hostnames to <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>
618: could potentially perform command injection depending on what
619: quoting was present in the user-supplied <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5'>ssh_config(5)</a> directive.
620:
621: <br>OpenSSH 9.6 now
622: bans most shell metacharacters from user and hostnames supplied
623: via the command-line. This countermeasure is not guaranteed to be
624: effective in all situations, as it is infeasible for <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a> to
625: universally filter shell metacharacters potentially relevant to
626: user-supplied commands.
627:
628: <br>User/hostnames provided via <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5'>ssh_config(5)</a> are not subject to these

1.16 djm 635: <li><a href='https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1'>ssh(1)</a>, <a href='https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8'>sshd(8)</a>: add a "global" ChannelTimeout type that watches

637: traffic on any of them for the specified interval. This is in

639: <br>This supports situations like having both session and x11

953: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.4 system, and do not want to reinstall,

961: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
962: <p>
963: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
964: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
965: which are in a separate archive.
966: To extract:
967: <blockquote><pre>
968: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
969: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
970: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
971: </pre></blockquote>
972: <p>
973: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
974: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
975: To extract:
976: <blockquote><pre>
977: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
978: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
979: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
980: </pre></blockquote>
981: <p>
982: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
983: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
984: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
985: Using these files
986: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
987: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

993: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
994: <p>
995: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
996: <blockquote><pre>
997: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
998: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
999: </pre></blockquote>
1000: <p>
1001: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1002: if you know nothing about ports
1003: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1004: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1005: OpenBSD ports system.
1006: <p>
1007: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1008: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1009: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1010: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1011: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1012: with a command like:
1013: <blockquote><pre>
1014: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1015: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_5</kbd>
1016: </pre></blockquote>
1017: <p>
1018: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1019: server.]
1020: <p>
1021: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1022: ports for the 7.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1023: <p>
1024: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1025: would like to know more, the mailing list
1026: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
