31 openssh (1:5.7p1-1) experimental; urgency=low
33 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.7):
34 - Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
35 and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
36 offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
37 symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
38 - sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard
39 link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
40 client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
41 using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
42 - scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
43 are transferred through the local host (closes: #508613).
44 - ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on
45 a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
46 succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
47 socket is either ready or stale without races (closes: #454784).
48 Stale server sockets are now automatically removed (closes: #523250).
49 - ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child process
51 - ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent
52 temporary directories (closes: #357469, although only if you arrange
53 for ssh-agent to actually see $TMPDIR since the setgid bit will cause
54 it to be stripped off).
55 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
56 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.7p1-gsskex-all-20110125.patch:
57 - Add GSSAPIServerIdentity option.
58 * Generate ECDSA host keys on fresh installations. Upgraders who wish to
59 add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
60 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run 'ssh-keygen
61 -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N "" -t ecdsa'.
62 * Build-depend on libssl-dev (>= 0.9.8g) to ensure sufficient ECC support.
63 * Backport SELinux build fix from CVS.

87 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.6):

90 connection can stay alive indefinitely, or can be set to automatically
91 close after a user-specified duration of inactivity (closes: #335697,
92 #350898, #454787, #500573, #550262).
93 - Support AuthorizedKeysFile, AuthorizedPrincipalsFile,
94 HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly, and PermitTunnel in sshd_config(5)
95 Match blocks (closes: #549858).

129 * Check primary group memberships as well as supplementary group
130 memberships, and only allow group-writability by groups with exactly one
131 member, as zero-member groups are typically used by setgid binaries

181 openssh (1:5.4p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
183 * New upstream release (LP: #535029).
184 - After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
185 protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
186 legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
187 or on the command-line.
188 - Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
189 PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
190 packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
191 dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
192 - Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
193 new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
194 - Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
195 - Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
196 package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
197 openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
198 different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
199 - Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
200 port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
201 - Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
202 override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
203 - Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
204 and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
205 mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
206 (closes: #270399, #428082).
207 - Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
208 the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
209 - Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
210 allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
212 * Fix 'debian/rules quilt-setup' to avoid writing .orig files if some
213 patches apply with offsets.
214 * Include debian/ssh-askpass-gnome.png in the Debian tarball now that
215 we're using a source format that permits this, rather than messing
216 around with uudecode.
217 * Drop compatibility with the old gssapi mechanism used in ssh-krb5 <<
218 3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
219 mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
220 versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
221 think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
222 * Fix substitution of ETC_PAM_D_SSH, following the rename in 1:4.7p1-4.
223 * Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
224 /usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; closes: #575725, LP: #8440).
225 xauth no longer depends on x11-common, so we're no longer guaranteed to
226 have the /usr/bin/X11 symlink available. I was taking advantage of the
227 /usr/bin/X11 symlink to smooth X's move to /usr/bin, but this is far
228 enough in the past now that it's probably safe to just use /usr/bin.
229 * Remove SSHD_OOM_ADJUST configuration. sshd now unconditionally makes
230 itself non-OOM-killable, and doesn't require configuration to avoid log
231 spam in virtualisation containers (closes: #555625).
232 * Drop Debian-specific removal of OpenSSL version check. Upstream ignores
233 the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
234 original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
235 change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
236 name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
237 would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
238 a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)
239 * Drop most of our "LogLevel SILENT" (-qq) patch. This was originally
240 introduced to match the behaviour of non-free SSH, in which -q does not
241 suppress fatal errors, but matching the behaviour of OpenSSH upstream is
242 much more important nowadays. We no longer document that -q does not
243 suppress fatal errors (closes: #280609). Migrate "LogLevel SILENT" to
244 "LogLevel QUIET" in sshd_config on upgrade.
245 * Policy version 3.8.4:
246 - Add a Homepage field.

280 * Backport from upstream:
281 - Do not fall back to adding keys without constraints (ssh-add -c / -t
282 ...) when the agent refuses the constrained add request. This was a
283 useful migration measure back in 2002 when constraints were new, but
284 just adds risk now (LP: #209447).
285 * Drop change from 1:3.8p1-3 to avoid setresuid() and setresgid() system
286 calls. This only applied to Linux 2.2, which it's no longer feasible to
287 run anyway (see 1:5.2p1-2 changelog).

294 * Backport from upstream:
295 - After sshd receives a SIGHUP, ignore subsequent HUPs while sshd

297 in sshd dying (LP: #497781).
298 - Output a debug if we can't open an existing keyfile (LP: #505301).
299 * Use host compiler for ssh-askpass-gnome when cross-compiling.
300 * Don't run tests when cross-compiling.
301 * Drop change from 1:3.6.1p2-5 to disable cmsg_type check for file
302 descriptor passing when running on Linux 2.0. The previous stable
303 release of Debian dropped support for Linux 2.4, let alone 2.0, so this
304 very likely has no remaining users depending on it.
307 * Implement DebianBanner server configuration flag that can be set to "no"
308 to allow sshd to run without the Debian-specific extra version in the
309 initial protocol handshake (closes: #562048).

317 - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the
318 revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to
319 CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".
320 - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the
321 SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid
322 packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue
323 reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than
324 immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the
325 known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the
326 plaintext of injected data which formed the basis of this attack
327 (closes: #506115, LP: #379329).
328 - ForceCommand directive now accepts commandline arguments for the

336 - Avoid printing 'Non-public channel' warnings in sshd(8), since the
337 ssh(1) has sent incorrect channel numbers since ~2004 (this reverts a

473 * New upstream release (closes: #474301). Important changes not previously
475 - 4.9/4.9p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.9):
476 + Added chroot(2) support for sshd(8), controlled by a new option
477 "ChrootDirectory" (closes: #139047, LP: #24777).
478 + Linked sftp-server(8) into sshd(8). The internal sftp server is used
479 when the command "internal-sftp" is specified in a Subsystem or
480 ForceCommand declaration. When used with ChrootDirectory, the
481 internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
482 inside the chroot environment.
483 + Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
484 sftp-server(8) to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations; sftp(1)
485 prefers this if available (closes: #308561).
486 + Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in sftp-server(8).
487 + ssh(8) will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
488 keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
489 This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
490 also allow Protocol 1.
491 + Accept the PermitRootLogin directive in a sshd_config(5) Match
492 block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local network.
493 + Reworked sftp(1) argument splitting and escaping to be more
494 internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
495 consistent with sh(1). Please note that this will change the
496 interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
497 embedded backslash escape sequences.
498 + Support "Banner=none" in sshd_config(5) to disable sending of a
499 pre-login banner (e.g. in a Match block).
500 + ssh(1) ProxyCommands are now executed with $SHELL rather than
502 + ssh(1)'s ConnectTimeout option is now applied to both the TCP
503 connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
504 the TCP connection). This allows callers of ssh(1) to better detect
505 and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
506 progress the protocol, and also makes ConnectTimeout useful for
507 connections via a ProxyCommand.
508 + scp(1) incorrectly reported "stalled" on slow copies (closes:
510 + scp(1) date underflow for timestamps before epoch.
511 + ssh(1) used the obsolete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
512 instead of the current standard RRSIG.
513 + Correctly drain ACKs when a sftp(1) upload write fails midway,
514 avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.
515 + Fixed ssh-keygen(1) selective host key hashing (i.e. "ssh-keygen -HF
516 hostname") to not include any IP address in the data to be hashed.
517 + Make ssh(1) skip listening on the IPv6 wildcard address when a
518 binding address of 0.0.0.0 is used against an old SSH server that
519 does not support the RFC4254 syntax for wildcard bind addresses.
520 + Enable IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on sshd(8) listen socket, as is
521 already done for X11/TCP forwarding sockets (closes: #439661).
522 + Fix FD leak that could hang a ssh(1) connection multiplexing master.
523 + Make ssh(1) -q option documentation consistent with reality.
524 + Fixed sshd(8) PAM support not calling pam_session_close(), or
525 failing to call it with root privileges (closes: #372680).
526 + Fix activation of OpenSSL engine support when requested in configure
528 + Cache SELinux status earlier so we know if it's enabled after a
529 chroot (LP: #237557).
530 - 5.1/5.1p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.1):
531 + Introduce experimental SSH Fingerprint ASCII Visualisation to ssh(1)
532 and ssh-keygen(1). Visual fingerprint display is controlled by a new
533 ssh_config(5) option "VisualHostKey". The intent is to render SSH
534 host keys in a visual form that is amenable to easy recall and
535 rejection of changed host keys.
536 + sshd_config(5) now supports CIDR address/masklen matching in "Match
537 address" blocks, with a fallback to classic wildcard matching.
538 + sshd(8) now supports CIDR matching in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
539 from="..." restrictions, also with a fallback to classic wildcard
541 + Added an extended test mode (-T) to sshd(8) to request that it write
542 its effective configuration to stdout and exit. Extended test mode
543 also supports the specification of connection parameters (username,
544 source address and hostname) to test the application of
545 sshd_config(5) Match rules.
546 + ssh(1) now prints the number of bytes transferred and the overall
547 connection throughput for SSH protocol 2 sessions when in verbose
548 mode (previously these statistics were displayed for protocol 1
550 + sftp-server(8) now supports extension methods statvfs@openssh.com
551 and fstatvfs@openssh.com that implement statvfs(2)-like operations.
552 + sftp(1) now has a "df" command to the sftp client that uses the
553 statvfs@openssh.com to produce a df(1)-like display of filesystem
554 space and inode utilisation (requires statvfs@openssh.com support on
556 + Added a MaxSessions option to sshd_config(5) to allow control of the
557 number of multiplexed sessions supported over a single TCP
558 connection. This allows increasing the number of allowed sessions
559 above the previous default of 10, disabling connection multiplexing
560 (MaxSessions=1) or disallowing login/shell/subsystem sessions
561 entirely (MaxSessions=0).
562 + Added a no-more-sessions@openssh.com global request extension that
563 is sent from ssh(1) to sshd(8) when the client knows that it will
564 never request another session (i.e. when session multiplexing is
565 disabled). This allows a server to disallow further session requests
566 and terminate the session in cases where the client has been
568 + ssh-keygen(1) now supports the use of the -l option in combination
569 with -F to search for a host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and display its
571 + ssh-keyscan(1) now defaults to "rsa" (protocol 2) keys, instead of
572 "rsa1" (LP: #129794).
573 + Added an AllowAgentForwarding option to sshd_config(8) to control
574 whether authentication agent forwarding is permitted. Note that this
575 is a loose control, as a client may install their own unofficial
577 + ssh(1) and sshd(8): avoid unnecessary malloc/copy/free when
578 receiving network data, resulting in a ~10% speedup.
579 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) will now try additional addresses when connecting
580 to a port forward destination whose DNS name resolves to more than
581 one address. The previous behaviour was to try the only first
582 address and give up if that failed.
583 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) now support signalling that channels are
584 half-closed for writing, through a channel protocol extension
585 notification "eow@openssh.com". This allows propagation of closed
586 file descriptors, so that commands such as "ssh -2 localhost od
587 /bin/ls | true" do not send unnecessary data over the wire.
588 + sshd(8): increased the default size of ssh protocol 1 ephemeral keys
589 from 768 to 1024 bits.
590 + When ssh(1) has been requested to fork after authentication ("ssh
591 -f") with ExitOnForwardFailure enabled, delay the fork until after
592 replies for any -R forwards have been seen. Allows for robust
593 detection of -R forward failure when using -f.
594 + "Match group" blocks in sshd_config(5) now support negation of
595 groups. E.g. "Match group staff,!guests".
596 + sftp(1) and sftp-server(8) now allow chmod-like operations to set
597 set[ug]id/sticky bits.
598 + The MaxAuthTries option is now permitted in sshd_config(5) match
600 + Multiplexed ssh(1) sessions now support a subset of the ~ escapes
601 that are available to a primary connection.
602 + ssh(1) connection multiplexing will now fall back to creating a new
603 connection in most error cases (closes: #352830).
604 + Make ssh(1) deal more gracefully with channel requests that fail.
605 Previously it would optimistically assume that requests would always
606 succeed, which could cause hangs if they did not (e.g. when the
607 server runs out of file descriptors).
608 + ssh(1) now reports multiplexing errors via the multiplex slave's
609 stderr where possible (subject to LogLevel in the mux master).
610 + Fixed an UMAC alignment problem that manifested on Itanium
612 * Remove our local version of moduli(5) now that there's one upstream.
613 * Say "GTK+" rather than "GTK" in ssh-askpass-gnome's description.
614 * Add lintian overrides for empty /usr/share/doc/openssh-client
615 directories in openssh-server and ssh (necessary due to being symlink

627 * Add some helpful advice to the end of ssh-vulnkey's output if there are
628 unknown or compromised keys (thanks, Dan Jacobson; closes: #483756).
629 * Check compromised key blacklist in ssh or ssh-add, as well as in the
630 server (LP: #232391). To override the blacklist check in ssh
631 temporarily, use 'ssh -o UseBlacklistedKeys=yes'; there is no override
632 for the blacklist check in ssh-add.
633 * Add cross-references to ssh-vulnkey(1) to ssh(1), ssh-add(1),
634 ssh-keygen(1), and sshd(8) (closes: #484451).
635 * Change openssh-client-udeb's Installer-Menu-Item from 99900 to 99999
637 * Drop openssh-client-udeb isinstallable hack, as main-menu (>= 1.26) now
638 takes care of that (thanks, Frans Pop; closes: #484404).

858 installations are unchanged.
859 - The SSH channel window size has been increased, and both ssh(1)
860 sshd(8) now send window updates more aggressively. These improves
861 performance on high-BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks.

1002 openssh (1:4.6p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
1004 * New upstream release (closes: #395507, #397961, #420035). Important
1005 changes not previously backported to 4.3p2:
1006 - 4.4/4.4p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.4):
1007 + On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be
1008 used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.
1009 + Implemented conditional configuration in sshd_config(5) using the
1010 "Match" directive. This allows some configuration options to be
1011 selectively overridden if specific criteria (based on user, group,
1012 hostname and/or address) are met. So far a useful subset of
1013 post-authentication options are supported and more are expected to
1014 be added in future releases.
1015 + Add support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange key agreement with a
1016 final hash of SHA256.
1017 + Added a "ForceCommand" directive to sshd_config(5). Similar to the
1018 command="..." option accepted in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this forces
1019 the execution of the specified command regardless of what the user
1020 requested. This is very useful in conjunction with the new "Match"
1022 + Add a "PermitOpen" directive to sshd_config(5). This mirrors the
1023 permitopen="..." authorized_keys option, allowing fine-grained
1024 control over the port-forwardings that a user is allowed to
1026 + Add optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8).
1027 + ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in
1028 ~/.ssh/known_hosts when a non-standard port has been requested
1030 + Add an "ExitOnForwardFailure" option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with a
1031 non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be
1033 + Extend sshd_config(5) "SubSystem" declarations to allow the
1034 specification of command-line arguments.
1035 + Replacement of all integer overflow susceptible invocations of
1036 malloc(3) and realloc(3) with overflow-checking equivalents.
1037 + Many manpage fixes and improvements.
1038 + Add optional support for OpenSSL hardware accelerators (engines),
1039 enabled using the --with-ssl-engine configure option.
1040 + Tokens in configuration files may be double-quoted in order to
1041 contain spaces (closes: #319639).
1042 + Move a debug() call out of a SIGCHLD handler, fixing a hang when the
1043 session exits very quickly (closes: #307890).
1044 + Fix some incorrect buffer allocation calculations (closes: #410599).
1045 + ssh-add doesn't ask for a passphrase if key file permissions are too
1046 liberal (closes: #103677).
1047 + Likewise, ssh doesn't ask either (closes: #99675).
1048 - 4.6/4.6p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.6):
1049 + sshd now allows the enabling and disabling of authentication methods
1050 on a per user, group, host and network basis via the Match directive
1052 + Fixed an inconsistent check for a terminal when displaying scp
1053 progress meter (closes: #257524).
1054 + Fix "hang on exit" when background processes are running at the time
1055 of exit on a ttyful/login session (closes: #88337).
1056 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
1057 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-4.6p1-gsskex-20070312.patch;
1058 install ChangeLog.gssapi.
1059 * Build the .deb --with-ssl-engine (closes: #408027, LP: #119295).
1060 * Use LSB functions in init scripts, and add an LSB-style header (partly
1061 from Ubuntu and partly thanks to Christian Perrier; closes: #389038).
1062 * Move init script start links to S16, move rc1 stop link to K84, and
1063 remove rc0 and rc6 stop links altogether (the last part from Ubuntu;
1065 * Emit a slightly more informative message from the init script if
1066 /dev/null has somehow become not a character device (closes: #369964).
1067 * Belatedly build-depend on zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.2.3-1) (closes: #333447).
1068 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1069 - Build position-independent executables (only for debs, not for udebs)
1070 to take advantage of address space layout randomisation.
1071 - If building on Ubuntu, add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to

1148 GSSAPICleanupCredentials. Mark GSSUseSessionCCache and
1149 GSSAPIUseSessionCredCache as known-but-unsupported options, and migrate
1150 away from them on upgrade.
1151 * It turns out that the people who told me that removing a conffile in the
1152 preinst was sufficient to have dpkg replace it without prompting when
1153 moving a conffile between packages were very much mistaken. As far as I
1154 can tell, the only way to do this reliably is to write out the desired
1155 new text of the conffile in the preinst. This is gross, and requires
1156 shipping the text of all conffiles in the preinst too, but there's
1157 nothing for it. Fortunately this nonsense is only required for smooth
1158 upgrades from sarge.

1274 * New upstream release (closes: #361032).
1275 - CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a
1276 subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy
1277 operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion twice;
1278 allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing shell
1279 metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead to execution
1280 of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of the user running
1281 scp (closes: #349645).
1282 - Add support for tunneling arbitrary network packets over a connection
1283 between an OpenSSH client and server via tun(4) virtual network
1284 interfaces. This allows the use of OpenSSH (4.3+) to create a true VPN
1285 between the client and server providing real network connectivity at
1286 layer 2 or 3. This feature is experimental.
1287 - Reduce default key length for new DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen
1288 back to 1024 bits. DSA is not specified for longer lengths and does
1289 not fully benefit from simply making keys longer. As per FIPS 186-2
1290 Change Notice 1, ssh-keygen will refuse to generate a new DSA key
1291 smaller or larger than 1024 bits.
1292 - Fixed X forwarding failing to start when the X11 client is executed in
1293 background at the time of session exit.
1294 - Change ssh-keygen to generate a protocol 2 RSA key when invoked
1295 without arguments (closes: #114894).
1296 - Fix timing variance for valid vs. invalid accounts when attempting
1297 Kerberos authentication.
1298 - Ensure that ssh always returns code 255 on internal error
1300 - Cleanup wtmp files on SIGTERM when not using privsep.
1301 - Set SO_REUSEADDR on X11 listeners to avoid problems caused by
1302 lingering sockets from previous session (X11 applications can
1303 sometimes not connect to 127.0.0.1:60xx) (closes:

1305 - Ensure that fds 0, 1 and 2 are always attached in all programs, by
1306 duping /dev/null to them if necessary.
1307 - Xauth list invocation had bogus "." argument.
1308 - Remove internal assumptions on key exchange hash algorithm and output
1309 length, preparing OpenSSH for KEX methods with alternate hashes.
1310 - Ignore junk sent by a server before it sends the "SSH-" banner.

1336 * Use udeb support introduced in debhelper 4.2.0 (available in sarge)
1337 rather than constructing udebs by steam.
1338 * Require debhelper 5.0.22, which generates correct shared library
1339 dependencies for udebs (closes: #360068). This build-dependency can be
1340 ignored if building on sarge.
1343 * Switch to debhelper compatibility level 4, since we now require
1344 debhelper 4 even on sarge anyway for udeb support.

1417 openssh (1:4.2p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
1419 * New upstream release.
1420 - SECURITY (CAN-2005-2797): Fix a bug introduced in OpenSSH 4.0 that
1421 caused GatewayPorts to be incorrectly activated for dynamic ("-D")
1422 port forwardings when no listen address was explicitly specified
1424 - SECURITY (CAN-2005-2798): Fix improper delegation of GSSAPI
1425 credentials. This code is only built in openssh-krb5, not openssh, but
1426 I mention the CVE reference here anyway for completeness.
1427 - Add a new compression method ("Compression delayed") that delays zlib
1428 compression until after authentication, eliminating the risk of zlib
1429 vulnerabilities being exploited by unauthenticated users. Note that
1430 users of OpenSSH versions earlier than 3.5 will need to disable
1431 compression on the client or set "Compression yes" (losing this
1432 security benefit) on the server.
1433 - Increase the default size of new RSA/DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen
1434 from 1024 to 2048 bits (closes: #181162).
1435 - Many bugfixes and improvements to connection multiplexing.
1436 - Don't pretend to accept $HOME (closes: #208648).
1437 * debian/rules: Resynchronise CFLAGS with that generated by configure.
1438 * openssh-client and openssh-server conflict with pre-split ssh to avoid
1439 problems when ssh is left un-upgraded (closes: #324695).
1440 * Set X11Forwarding to yes in the default sshd_config (new installs only).
1441 At least when X11UseLocalhost is turned on, which is the default, the
1442 security risks of using X11 forwarding are risks to the client, not to

1490 - Added SELinux capability, and turned it on be default. Added
1491 restorecon calls in preinst and postinst (should not matter if the
1492 machine is not SELinux aware). By and large, the changes made should
1493 have no effect unless the rules file calls --with-selinux; and even
1494 then there should be no performance hit for machines not actively
1496 - Modified the preinst and postinst to call restorecon to set the
1497 security context for the generated public key files.
1498 - Added a comment to /etc/pam.d/ssh to indicate that an SELinux system
1499 may want to also include pam_selinux.so.

1521 * Since ssh-keysign isn't used by default (you need to set
1522 EnableSSHKeysign to "yes" in /etc/ssh/ssh_config), having a debconf
1523 question to ask whether it should be setuid is overkill, and the

1561 forwardings when configured with "GatewayPorts clientspecified"
1562 (closes: #87253, #192206).

1564 improved privacy (CAN-2005-2666). ssh-keygen has new options for
1565 managing known_hosts files, which understand hashing.
1566 - sftp supports command history and editing support using libedit
1568 - Have scp and sftp wait for the spawned ssh to exit before they exit
1569 themselves, allowing ssh to restore terminal modes (closes: #257130).
1570 - Improved the handling of bad data in authorized_keys files,
1571 eliminating fatal errors on corrupt or very large keys; e.g. linefeeds
1572 in keys only produce errors in auth.log now (closes: #220726).

1701 * New transitional ssh package, priority optional, depending on
1702 openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends
1704 * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult

1712 (until sarge+2) it's still honoured to avoid breaking existing

1883 * New upstream release (closes: #232281):
1884 - New PAM implementation based on that in FreeBSD. This runs PAM session
1885 modules before dropping privileges (closes: #132681, #150968).
1886 - Since PAM session modules are run as root, we can turn pam_limits back
1887 on by default, and it no longer spits out "Operation not permitted" to
1888 syslog (closes: #171673).
1889 - Password expiry works again (closes: #153235).
1890 - 'ssh -q' suppresses login banner (closes: #134589).
1891 - sshd doesn't lie to PAM about invalid usernames (closes: #157078).
1892 - ssh-add prints key comment on each prompt (closes: #181869).
1893 - Punctuation formatting fixed in man pages (closes: #191131).
1894 - EnableSSHKeysign documented in ssh_config(5) (closes: #224457).
1895 * Add 'UsePAM yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on upgrade from versions older
1896 than this, to maintain the standard Debian sshd configuration.
1897 * Comment out PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt and RhostsAuthentication in
1898 sshd_config on upgrade. Neither option is supported any more.
1899 * Privilege separation and PAM are now properly supported together, so
1900 remove both debconf questions related to them and simply set it
1901 unconditionally in newly generated sshd_config files (closes: #228838).
1902 * ServerAliveInterval implemented upstream, so ProtocolKeepAlives is now a
1903 compatibility alias. The semantics differ slightly, though; see
1904 ssh_config(5) for details.
1905 * Implement SSH1 support for ServerAliveInterval using SSH_MSG_IGNORE. As
1906 documented in ssh_config(5), it's not as good as the SSH2 version.
1907 * Remove -fno-builtin-log, -DHAVE_MMAP_ANON_SHARED, and
1908 -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 compiler options, which are no longer necessary.
1909 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20040105.1.
1911 - Reset signal status when starting pam auth thread, prevent hanging
1912 during PAM keyboard-interactive authentications.
1913 - Fix a non-security-critical segfault in PAM authentication.
1914 * Add debconf template translations:

2201 - Fixes typo in ssh-add usage (closes: #152239).
2202 - Fixes 'PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only' (closes: #166184).
2203 - ~/.ssh/environment and environment= options in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
2204 are deprecated for security reasons and will eventually go away. For
2205 now they can be re-enabled by setting 'PermitUserEnvironment yes' in
2207 - ssh-agent is installed setgid to prevent ptrace() attacks. The group
2208 actually doesn't matter, as it drops privileges immediately, but to
2209 avoid confusion the postinst creates a new 'ssh' group for it.
2211 - Solar Designer's privsep+compression patch for Linux 2.2 (see
2213 - Hostbased auth ssh-keysign backport (see 1:3.4p1-4).
2215 * Remove duplicated phrase in ssh_config(5) (closes: #152404).

2217 the bottom, to avoid making future non-idempotency problems worse (see
