56 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.9).
57 - Introduce sandboxing of the pre-auth privsep child using an optional

59 mandatory restrictions on the syscalls the privsep child can perform.
60 - Add new SHA256-based HMAC transport integrity modes from

62 - The pre-authentication sshd(8) privilege separation slave process now

64 maintain /dev/log inside the chroot (closes: #75043, #429243,

68 - sshd_config(5)'s AuthorizedKeysFile now accepts multiple paths,
69 separated by whitespace (closes: #76312). The authorized_keys2
70 fallback is deprecated but documented (closes: #560156).
71 - ssh(1) and sshd(8): set IPv6 traffic class from IPQoS, as well as IPv4
72 ToS/DSCP (closes: #498297).

154 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.7):
155 - Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
156 and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
157 offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
158 symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
159 - sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard
160 link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
161 client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
162 using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
163 - scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
164 are transferred through the local host (closes: #508613).
165 - ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on
166 a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
167 succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
168 socket is either ready or stale without races (closes: #454784).
169 Stale server sockets are now automatically removed (closes: #523250).
170 - ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child process
172 - ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent
173 temporary directories (closes: #357469, although only if you arrange
174 for ssh-agent to actually see $TMPDIR since the setgid bit will cause
175 it to be stripped off).
176 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
177 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.7p1-gsskex-all-20110125.patch:
178 - Add GSSAPIServerIdentity option.

180 add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
181 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run 'ssh-keygen

304 * New upstream release (LP: #535029).
305 - After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
306 protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
307 legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
308 or on the command-line.
309 - Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
310 PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
311 packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
312 dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
313 - Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
314 new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
315 - Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
316 - Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
317 package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
318 openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
319 different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
320 - Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
321 port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
322 - Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
323 override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
324 - Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
325 and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
326 mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
327 (closes: #270399, #428082).
328 - Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
329 the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
330 - Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
331 allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
333 * Fix 'debian/rules quilt-setup' to avoid writing .orig files if some
334 patches apply with offsets.
335 * Include debian/ssh-askpass-gnome.png in the Debian tarball now that
336 we're using a source format that permits this, rather than messing
337 around with uudecode.
338 * Drop compatibility with the old gssapi mechanism used in ssh-krb5 <<
339 3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
340 mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
341 versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
342 think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
343 * Fix substitution of ETC_PAM_D_SSH, following the rename in 1:4.7p1-4.
344 * Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
345 /usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; closes: #575725, LP: #8440).
346 xauth no longer depends on x11-common, so we're no longer guaranteed to
347 have the /usr/bin/X11 symlink available. I was taking advantage of the
348 /usr/bin/X11 symlink to smooth X's move to /usr/bin, but this is far
349 enough in the past now that it's probably safe to just use /usr/bin.
350 * Remove SSHD_OOM_ADJUST configuration. sshd now unconditionally makes
351 itself non-OOM-killable, and doesn't require configuration to avoid log
352 spam in virtualisation containers (closes: #555625).
353 * Drop Debian-specific removal of OpenSSL version check. Upstream ignores
354 the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
355 original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
356 change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
357 name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
358 would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
359 a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)
360 * Drop most of our "LogLevel SILENT" (-qq) patch. This was originally
361 introduced to match the behaviour of non-free SSH, in which -q does not
362 suppress fatal errors, but matching the behaviour of OpenSSH upstream is
363 much more important nowadays. We no longer document that -q does not
364 suppress fatal errors (closes: #280609). Migrate "LogLevel SILENT" to
365 "LogLevel QUIET" in sshd_config on upgrade.
366 * Policy version 3.8.4:

423 descriptor passing when running on Linux 2.0. The previous stable
424 release of Debian dropped support for Linux 2.4, let alone 2.0, so this
425 very likely has no remaining users depending on it.

438 - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the
439 revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to
440 CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".
441 - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the
442 SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid
443 packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue
444 reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than
445 immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the
446 known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the

594 * New upstream release (closes: #474301). Important changes not previously
596 - 4.9/4.9p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.9):
597 + Added chroot(2) support for sshd(8), controlled by a new option
598 "ChrootDirectory" (closes: #139047, LP: #24777).
599 + Linked sftp-server(8) into sshd(8). The internal sftp server is used
600 when the command "internal-sftp" is specified in a Subsystem or
601 ForceCommand declaration. When used with ChrootDirectory, the
602 internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
603 inside the chroot environment.
604 + Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
605 sftp-server(8) to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations; sftp(1)
606 prefers this if available (closes: #308561).
607 + Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in sftp-server(8).
608 + ssh(8) will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
609 keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
610 This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
611 also allow Protocol 1.
612 + Accept the PermitRootLogin directive in a sshd_config(5) Match
613 block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local network.
614 + Reworked sftp(1) argument splitting and escaping to be more
615 internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
616 consistent with sh(1). Please note that this will change the
617 interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
618 embedded backslash escape sequences.
619 + Support "Banner=none" in sshd_config(5) to disable sending of a
620 pre-login banner (e.g. in a Match block).
621 + ssh(1) ProxyCommands are now executed with $SHELL rather than
623 + ssh(1)'s ConnectTimeout option is now applied to both the TCP
624 connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
625 the TCP connection). This allows callers of ssh(1) to better detect
626 and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
627 progress the protocol, and also makes ConnectTimeout useful for
628 connections via a ProxyCommand.
629 + scp(1) incorrectly reported "stalled" on slow copies (closes:
631 + scp(1) date underflow for timestamps before epoch.
632 + ssh(1) used the obsolete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
633 instead of the current standard RRSIG.
634 + Correctly drain ACKs when a sftp(1) upload write fails midway,
635 avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.
636 + Fixed ssh-keygen(1) selective host key hashing (i.e. "ssh-keygen -HF
637 hostname") to not include any IP address in the data to be hashed.
638 + Make ssh(1) skip listening on the IPv6 wildcard address when a
639 binding address of 0.0.0.0 is used against an old SSH server that
640 does not support the RFC4254 syntax for wildcard bind addresses.
641 + Enable IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on sshd(8) listen socket, as is
642 already done for X11/TCP forwarding sockets (closes: #439661).
643 + Fix FD leak that could hang a ssh(1) connection multiplexing master.
644 + Make ssh(1) -q option documentation consistent with reality.
645 + Fixed sshd(8) PAM support not calling pam_session_close(), or
646 failing to call it with root privileges (closes: #372680).
647 + Fix activation of OpenSSL engine support when requested in configure
649 + Cache SELinux status earlier so we know if it's enabled after a
650 chroot (LP: #237557).
651 - 5.1/5.1p1 (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.1):
652 + Introduce experimental SSH Fingerprint ASCII Visualisation to ssh(1)
653 and ssh-keygen(1). Visual fingerprint display is controlled by a new
654 ssh_config(5) option "VisualHostKey". The intent is to render SSH
655 host keys in a visual form that is amenable to easy recall and
656 rejection of changed host keys.
657 + sshd_config(5) now supports CIDR address/masklen matching in "Match
658 address" blocks, with a fallback to classic wildcard matching.
659 + sshd(8) now supports CIDR matching in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
660 from="..." restrictions, also with a fallback to classic wildcard
662 + Added an extended test mode (-T) to sshd(8) to request that it write
663 its effective configuration to stdout and exit. Extended test mode
664 also supports the specification of connection parameters (username,
665 source address and hostname) to test the application of
666 sshd_config(5) Match rules.
667 + ssh(1) now prints the number of bytes transferred and the overall
668 connection throughput for SSH protocol 2 sessions when in verbose
669 mode (previously these statistics were displayed for protocol 1
671 + sftp-server(8) now supports extension methods statvfs@openssh.com
672 and fstatvfs@openssh.com that implement statvfs(2)-like operations.
673 + sftp(1) now has a "df" command to the sftp client that uses the
674 statvfs@openssh.com to produce a df(1)-like display of filesystem
675 space and inode utilisation (requires statvfs@openssh.com support on
677 + Added a MaxSessions option to sshd_config(5) to allow control of the
678 number of multiplexed sessions supported over a single TCP
679 connection. This allows increasing the number of allowed sessions
680 above the previous default of 10, disabling connection multiplexing
681 (MaxSessions=1) or disallowing login/shell/subsystem sessions
682 entirely (MaxSessions=0).
683 + Added a no-more-sessions@openssh.com global request extension that
684 is sent from ssh(1) to sshd(8) when the client knows that it will
685 never request another session (i.e. when session multiplexing is
686 disabled). This allows a server to disallow further session requests
687 and terminate the session in cases where the client has been
689 + ssh-keygen(1) now supports the use of the -l option in combination
690 with -F to search for a host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and display its
692 + ssh-keyscan(1) now defaults to "rsa" (protocol 2) keys, instead of
693 "rsa1" (LP: #129794).
694 + Added an AllowAgentForwarding option to sshd_config(8) to control
695 whether authentication agent forwarding is permitted. Note that this
696 is a loose control, as a client may install their own unofficial
698 + ssh(1) and sshd(8): avoid unnecessary malloc/copy/free when
699 receiving network data, resulting in a ~10% speedup.
700 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) will now try additional addresses when connecting
701 to a port forward destination whose DNS name resolves to more than
702 one address. The previous behaviour was to try the only first
703 address and give up if that failed.
704 + ssh(1) and sshd(8) now support signalling that channels are
705 half-closed for writing, through a channel protocol extension
706 notification "eow@openssh.com". This allows propagation of closed
707 file descriptors, so that commands such as "ssh -2 localhost od
708 /bin/ls | true" do not send unnecessary data over the wire.
709 + sshd(8): increased the default size of ssh protocol 1 ephemeral keys
710 from 768 to 1024 bits.
711 + When ssh(1) has been requested to fork after authentication ("ssh
712 -f") with ExitOnForwardFailure enabled, delay the fork until after
713 replies for any -R forwards have been seen. Allows for robust
714 detection of -R forward failure when using -f.
715 + "Match group" blocks in sshd_config(5) now support negation of
716 groups. E.g. "Match group staff,!guests".
717 + sftp(1) and sftp-server(8) now allow chmod-like operations to set
718 set[ug]id/sticky bits.
719 + The MaxAuthTries option is now permitted in sshd_config(5) match
721 + Multiplexed ssh(1) sessions now support a subset of the ~ escapes
722 that are available to a primary connection.
723 + ssh(1) connection multiplexing will now fall back to creating a new
724 connection in most error cases (closes: #352830).
725 + Make ssh(1) deal more gracefully with channel requests that fail.
726 Previously it would optimistically assume that requests would always
727 succeed, which could cause hangs if they did not (e.g. when the
728 server runs out of file descriptors).
729 + ssh(1) now reports multiplexing errors via the multiplex slave's
730 stderr where possible (subject to LogLevel in the mux master).
731 + Fixed an UMAC alignment problem that manifested on Itanium
733 * Remove our local version of moduli(5) now that there's one upstream.
734 * Say "GTK+" rather than "GTK" in ssh-askpass-gnome's description.

753 for the blacklist check in ssh-add.
754 * Add cross-references to ssh-vulnkey(1) to ssh(1), ssh-add(1),
755 ssh-keygen(1), and sshd(8) (closes: #484451).
756 * Change openssh-client-udeb's Installer-Menu-Item from 99900 to 99999

975 - CVE-2007-4752: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if
976 creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec
978 - sshd(8) in new installations defaults to SSH Protocol 2 only. Existing
979 installations are unchanged.
980 - The SSH channel window size has been increased, and both ssh(1)
981 sshd(8) now send window updates more aggressively. These improves
982 performance on high-BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks.
983 - ssh(1) and sshd(8) now preserve MAC contexts between packets, which
984 saves 2 hash calls per packet and results in 12-16% speedup for

989 - Failure to establish a ssh(1) TunnelForward is now treated as a fatal
990 error when the ExitOnForwardFailure option is set.
991 - ssh(1) returns a sensible exit status if the control master goes away
992 without passing the full exit status.

994 gethostname(2), allowing hostbased authentication to work.
995 - Make scp(1) skip FIFOs rather than hanging (closes: #246774).

999 that wtmp and lastlog records are correctly updated.
1000 - Report GSSAPI mechanism in errors, for libraries that support multiple

1123 openssh (1:4.6p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
1125 * New upstream release (closes: #395507, #397961, #420035). Important
1126 changes not previously backported to 4.3p2:
1127 - 4.4/4.4p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.4):
1128 + On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be
1129 used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.
1130 + Implemented conditional configuration in sshd_config(5) using the
1131 "Match" directive. This allows some configuration options to be
1132 selectively overridden if specific criteria (based on user, group,
1133 hostname and/or address) are met. So far a useful subset of
1134 post-authentication options are supported and more are expected to
1135 be added in future releases.
1136 + Add support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange key agreement with a
1137 final hash of SHA256.
1138 + Added a "ForceCommand" directive to sshd_config(5). Similar to the
1139 command="..." option accepted in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this forces
1140 the execution of the specified command regardless of what the user
1141 requested. This is very useful in conjunction with the new "Match"
1143 + Add a "PermitOpen" directive to sshd_config(5). This mirrors the
1144 permitopen="..." authorized_keys option, allowing fine-grained
1145 control over the port-forwardings that a user is allowed to
1147 + Add optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8).
1148 + ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in
1149 ~/.ssh/known_hosts when a non-standard port has been requested
1151 + Add an "ExitOnForwardFailure" option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with a
1152 non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be
1154 + Extend sshd_config(5) "SubSystem" declarations to allow the
1155 specification of command-line arguments.
1156 + Replacement of all integer overflow susceptible invocations of
1157 malloc(3) and realloc(3) with overflow-checking equivalents.
1158 + Many manpage fixes and improvements.
1159 + Add optional support for OpenSSL hardware accelerators (engines),
1160 enabled using the --with-ssl-engine configure option.
1161 + Tokens in configuration files may be double-quoted in order to
1162 contain spaces (closes: #319639).
1163 + Move a debug() call out of a SIGCHLD handler, fixing a hang when the
1164 session exits very quickly (closes: #307890).
1165 + Fix some incorrect buffer allocation calculations (closes: #410599).
1166 + ssh-add doesn't ask for a passphrase if key file permissions are too
1167 liberal (closes: #103677).
1168 + Likewise, ssh doesn't ask either (closes: #99675).
1169 - 4.6/4.6p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.6):
1170 + sshd now allows the enabling and disabling of authentication methods
1171 on a per user, group, host and network basis via the Match directive
1173 + Fixed an inconsistent check for a terminal when displaying scp
1174 progress meter (closes: #257524).
1175 + Fix "hang on exit" when background processes are running at the time
1176 of exit on a ttyful/login session (closes: #88337).
1177 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
1178 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-4.6p1-gsskex-20070312.patch;
1179 install ChangeLog.gssapi.
1180 * Build the .deb --with-ssl-engine (closes: #408027, LP: #119295).
1181 * Use LSB functions in init scripts, and add an LSB-style header (partly
1182 from Ubuntu and partly thanks to Christian Perrier; closes: #389038).
1183 * Move init script start links to S16, move rc1 stop link to K84, and
1184 remove rc0 and rc6 stop links altogether (the last part from Ubuntu;
1186 * Emit a slightly more informative message from the init script if
1187 /dev/null has somehow become not a character device (closes: #369964).
1188 * Belatedly build-depend on zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.2.3-1) (closes: #333447).
1189 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1190 - Build position-independent executables (only for debs, not for udebs)
1191 to take advantage of address space layout randomisation.
1192 - If building on Ubuntu, add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to

1269 GSSAPICleanupCredentials. Mark GSSUseSessionCCache and
1270 GSSAPIUseSessionCredCache as known-but-unsupported options, and migrate
1271 away from them on upgrade.
1272 * It turns out that the people who told me that removing a conffile in the
1273 preinst was sufficient to have dpkg replace it without prompting when
1274 moving a conffile between packages were very much mistaken. As far as I
1275 can tell, the only way to do this reliably is to write out the desired
1276 new text of the conffile in the preinst. This is gross, and requires
1277 shipping the text of all conffiles in the preinst too, but there's
1278 nothing for it. Fortunately this nonsense is only required for smooth
1279 upgrades from sarge.

1346 - CVE-2006-5051: Fix an unsafe signal hander reported by Mark Dowd. The
1347 signal handler was vulnerable to a race condition that could be
1348 exploited to perform a pre-authentication denial of service. On
1349 portable OpenSSH, this vulnerability could theoretically lead to

1395 * New upstream release (closes: #361032).
1396 - CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a
1397 subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy
1398 operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion twice;
1399 allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing shell
1400 metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead to execution
1401 of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of the user running
1402 scp (closes: #349645).
1403 - Add support for tunneling arbitrary network packets over a connection
1404 between an OpenSSH client and server via tun(4) virtual network
1405 interfaces. This allows the use of OpenSSH (4.3+) to create a true VPN
1406 between the client and server providing real network connectivity at
1407 layer 2 or 3. This feature is experimental.
1408 - Reduce default key length for new DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen
1409 back to 1024 bits. DSA is not specified for longer lengths and does
1410 not fully benefit from simply making keys longer. As per FIPS 186-2
1411 Change Notice 1, ssh-keygen will refuse to generate a new DSA key
1412 smaller or larger than 1024 bits.
1413 - Fixed X forwarding failing to start when the X11 client is executed in
1414 background at the time of session exit.

1416 without arguments (closes: #114894).
1417 - Fix timing variance for valid vs. invalid accounts when attempting
1418 Kerberos authentication.
1419 - Ensure that ssh always returns code 255 on internal error
1421 - Cleanup wtmp files on SIGTERM when not using privsep.
1422 - Set SO_REUSEADDR on X11 listeners to avoid problems caused by
1423 lingering sockets from previous session (X11 applications can
1424 sometimes not connect to 127.0.0.1:60xx) (closes:

1427 duping /dev/null to them if necessary.
1428 - Xauth list invocation had bogus "." argument.
1429 - Remove internal assumptions on key exchange hash algorithm and output
1430 length, preparing OpenSSH for KEX methods with alternate hashes.
1431 - Ignore junk sent by a server before it sends the "SSH-" banner.
1432 - Many manual page improvements.

1438 * debian/rules: Resynchronise CFLAGS with that generated by configure.
1439 * Restore pam_nologin to /etc/pam.d/ssh; sshd no longer checks this itself
1440 when PAM is enabled, but relies on PAM to do it.

1543 port forwardings when no listen address was explicitly specified

1546 credentials. This code is only built in openssh-krb5, not openssh, but
1547 I mention the CVE reference here anyway for completeness.
1548 - Add a new compression method ("Compression delayed") that delays zlib
1549 compression until after authentication, eliminating the risk of zlib
1550 vulnerabilities being exploited by unauthenticated users. Note that
1551 users of OpenSSH versions earlier than 3.5 will need to disable
1552 compression on the client or set "Compression yes" (losing this

1818 * Split the ssh binary package into openssh-client and openssh-server
1819 (closes: #39741). openssh-server depends on openssh-client for some
1820 common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package
1821 for this. openssh-client is priority standard, openssh-server optional.
1822 * New transitional ssh package, priority optional, depending on
1823 openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends
1825 * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult
1826 for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from
1827 without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move
1828 a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
1829 and ssh/user_environment_tell.
1830 * Add a heuristic to try to make sure the sshd_config upgrade to >= 3.7
1831 happens even though we don't know what version we're upgrading from.
1832 * Remove /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run on purge of openssh-server. For now
1833 (until sarge+2) it's still honoured to avoid breaking existing
1834 configurations, but the right approach is now to remove the
1835 openssh-server package if you don't want to run the server. Add a NEWS

2004 * New upstream release (closes: #232281):
2005 - New PAM implementation based on that in FreeBSD. This runs PAM session
2006 modules before dropping privileges (closes: #132681, #150968).
2007 - Since PAM session modules are run as root, we can turn pam_limits back
2008 on by default, and it no longer spits out "Operation not permitted" to
2009 syslog (closes: #171673).
2010 - Password expiry works again (closes: #153235).
2011 - 'ssh -q' suppresses login banner (closes: #134589).
2012 - sshd doesn't lie to PAM about invalid usernames (closes: #157078).
2013 - ssh-add prints key comment on each prompt (closes: #181869).
2014 - Punctuation formatting fixed in man pages (closes: #191131).
2015 - EnableSSHKeysign documented in ssh_config(5) (closes: #224457).
2016 * Add 'UsePAM yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on upgrade from versions older
2017 than this, to maintain the standard Debian sshd configuration.
2018 * Comment out PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt and RhostsAuthentication in
2019 sshd_config on upgrade. Neither option is supported any more.
2020 * Privilege separation and PAM are now properly supported together, so
2021 remove both debconf questions related to them and simply set it
2022 unconditionally in newly generated sshd_config files (closes: #228838).
2023 * ServerAliveInterval implemented upstream, so ProtocolKeepAlives is now a
2024 compatibility alias. The semantics differ slightly, though; see
2025 ssh_config(5) for details.
2026 * Implement SSH1 support for ServerAliveInterval using SSH_MSG_IGNORE. As
2027 documented in ssh_config(5), it's not as good as the SSH2 version.
2028 * Remove -fno-builtin-log, -DHAVE_MMAP_ANON_SHARED, and
2029 -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 compiler options, which are no longer necessary.
2030 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20040105.1.
2032 - Reset signal status when starting pam auth thread, prevent hanging
2033 during PAM keyboard-interactive authentications.

2203 * ssh has depended on debconf for some time now with no complaints, so:
2204 - Simplify the postinst by relying on debconf being present. (The absent
2205 case was buggy anyway.)
2206 - Get rid of "if you have not installed debconf" text in README.Debian,
2207 and generally update the "/usr/bin/ssh not SUID" entry.
2208 * More README.Debian work:
2209 - Reorganize into "UPGRADE ISSUES" and "OTHER ISSUES", in an effort to
2210 make it easier for people to find the former. The upgrade issues
2211 should probably be sorted by version somehow.
2212 - Document X11UseLocalhost under "X11 Forwarding" (closes: #150913).
2213 * Fix setting of IP flags for interactive sessions (upstream bug #541).

2228 - Workaround applied upstream for a bug in the interaction of glibc's
2229 getaddrinfo() with the Linux 2.2 kernel (closes: #155814).
2230 - As such, it should now be safe to remove --with-ipv4-default, so
2231 starting sshd with -6 is no longer necessary (closes: #79861 and lots
2232 of other merged bugs).
2233 - ssh-copy-id prints usage when run without arguments (closes: #71376).
2234 - scp exits 1 if ssh fails (closes: #138400).
2235 - sshd writes to utmp's ut_addr_v6 field in IPv6 mode (closes: #167867).

2247 /usr/local/sbin (closes: #128235, #151267). Using login.defs would be
2248 nice, but that belongs to another package. Without a defined API to
2249 retrieve its settings, parsing it is off-limits.
2250 * Build ssh-askpass-gnome with GNOME 2. The source package should still
2251 support building on stable with GNOME 1, using the alternate
2252 libgnome-dev build-dependency (thanks, Colin Walters; closes: #167582).

2259 than ssh (closes: #121103, #151666). Fix alternative removal to match;
2260 previously it was completely wrong anyway.
2261 * Find out whether /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run exists and set the debconf
2262 question's default using that information, rather than using debconf as
2263 a registry. Other solutions may be better in the long run, but this is
2264 at least correct (thanks, Matthew Woodcraft; closes: #84725).
2265 * Stop using pam_lastlog, as it doesn't currently work well as a session
2266 module when privilege separation is enabled; it can usually read
2267 /var/log/lastlog but can't write to it. Instead, just use sshd's
2268 built-in support, already enabled by default (closes: #151297, #169938).
2269 * Use 'ssh-keygen -q' rather than redirecting output to /dev/null.
2270 * Add a "this may take some time" warning when creating host keys on
2271 installation (part of #110094).
2272 * When restarting via the init script, check for sshd_not_to_be_run after
2273 stopping sshd (idea from Tomas Pospisek; closes: #149850).

2292 been a compatibility wrapper since debconf 0.1.5.)
2293 * Warn about PermitUserEnvironment on upgrade (closes: #167895).
2294 * Use 'make install-nokeys', and disable unused debhelper commands,
2295 thereby forward-porting the last pieces of Zack Weinberg's patch
2297 * Move the man page for gnome-ssh-askpass from the ssh package to
2298 ssh-askpass-gnome (closes: #174449).
2299 * Build with -DLOGIN_NO_ENDOPT, since Debian's /bin/login doesn't accept
2300 '--' to terminate the list of options (closes: #171554).

2325 are deprecated for security reasons and will eventually go away. For

2329 actually doesn't matter, as it drops privileges immediately, but to

3099 * New upstream release
3100 * patch sshd to create extra xauth key required for localhost
3101 (closes: #49944) *** RC ***
3102 * FallbacktoRsh now defaults to ``no'' to match impression
3103 given in sshd_config
3104 * stop setting suid bit on ssh (closes: #58711, #58558)
3105 This breaks Rhosts authentication (which nobody uses) and allows
3106 the LD_PRELOAD trick to get socks working, so seems like a net benefit.

3116 openssh (1:1.2.2-1.3) unstable; urgency=low
3118 * Integrated man page addition for PrintLastLog.
3119 This bug was filed on "openssh", and I ended up
3120 creating my own patch for this (closes: #59054)
3121 * Improved error message when ssh_exchange_identification
3122 gets EOF (closes: #58904)
3123 * Fixed typo (your -> you're) in debian/preinst.
3124 * Added else-clauses to config to make this upgradepath possible:
3125 oldssh -> openssh preinst fails due to upgrade_to_openssh=false
3126 -> ssh-nonfree -> openssh. Without these, debconf remembered
3127 the old answer, config didn't force asking it, and preinst always
3128 aborted (closes: #56596, #57782)
3129 * Moved setting upgrade_to_openssh isdefault flag to the place
3130 where preinst would abort. This means no double question to most
3131 users, people who currently suffer from "can't upgrade" may need
3132 to run apt-get install ssh twice. Did not do the same for
3133 use_old_init_script, as the situation is a bit different, and
3134 less common (closes: #54010, #56224)
3135 * Check for existance of ssh-keygen before attempting to use it in
3136 preinst, added warning for non-existant ssh-keygen in config. This
3137 happens when the old ssh is removed (say, due to ssh-nonfree getting

3151 * Patched to call vhangup, with autoconf detection and all
3153 * Added --with-ipv4-default workaround to a glibc bug causing
3154 slow DNS lookups, as per UPGRADING. Use -6 to really use
3155 IPv6 addresses. (closes: #57891, #58744, #58713, #57970)
3156 * Added noenv to PAM pam_mail line. Thanks to Ben Collins.
3158 * Added the UPGRADING file to the package.
