3 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.9).
4 - Introduce sandboxing of the pre-auth privsep child using an optional
5 sshd_config(5) "UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox" mode that enables
6 mandatory restrictions on the syscalls the privsep child can perform.
7 - Add new SHA256-based HMAC transport integrity modes from

9 - The pre-authentication sshd(8) privilege separation slave process now
10 logs via a socket shared with the master process, avoiding the need to
11 maintain /dev/log inside the chroot (closes: #75043, #429243,
13 - ssh(1) now warns when a server refuses X11 forwarding (closes:

16 separated by whitespace (closes: #76312). The authorized_keys2
17 fallback is deprecated but documented (closes: #560156).
18 - ssh(1) and sshd(8): set IPv6 traffic class from IPQoS, as well as IPv4
19 ToS/DSCP (closes: #498297).
20 - ssh-add(1) now accepts keys piped from standard input. E.g. "ssh-add
21 - < /path/to/key" (closes: #229124).
22 - Clean up lost-passphrase text in ssh-keygen(1) (closes: #444691).

101 * New upstream release (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.7):
102 - Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
103 and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
104 offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent
105 symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.
106 - sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard
107 link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the
108 client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available
109 using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
110 - scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts
111 are transferred through the local host (closes: #508613).
112 - ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on
113 a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
114 succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
115 socket is either ready or stale without races (closes: #454784).
116 Stale server sockets are now automatically removed (closes: #523250).
117 - ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expired child process
119 - ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent
120 temporary directories (closes: #357469, although only if you arrange
121 for ssh-agent to actually see $TMPDIR since the setgid bit will cause
122 it to be stripped off).
123 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
124 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.7p1-gsskex-all-20110125.patch:

127 add such host keys should manually add 'HostKey
128 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and run 'ssh-keygen
129 -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N "" -t ecdsa'.
130 * Build-depend on libssl-dev (>= 0.9.8g) to ensure sufficient ECC support.

158 connection can stay alive indefinitely, or can be set to automatically
159 close after a user-specified duration of inactivity (closes: #335697,

251 * New upstream release (LP: #535029).
252 - After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
253 protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
254 legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
255 or on the command-line.
256 - Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
257 PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
258 packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
259 dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
260 - Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
261 new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
262 - Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
263 - Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
264 package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
265 openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
266 different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
267 - Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
268 port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
269 - Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
270 override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
271 - Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
272 and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
273 mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
274 (closes: #270399, #428082).
275 - Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
276 the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
277 - Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
278 allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
280 * Fix 'debian/rules quilt-setup' to avoid writing .orig files if some
281 patches apply with offsets.
282 * Include debian/ssh-askpass-gnome.png in the Debian tarball now that
283 we're using a source format that permits this, rather than messing
284 around with uudecode.
285 * Drop compatibility with the old gssapi mechanism used in ssh-krb5 <<
286 3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
287 mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
288 versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
289 think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
290 * Fix substitution of ETC_PAM_D_SSH, following the rename in 1:4.7p1-4.
291 * Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
292 /usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; closes: #575725, LP: #8440).
293 xauth no longer depends on x11-common, so we're no longer guaranteed to
294 have the /usr/bin/X11 symlink available. I was taking advantage of the
295 /usr/bin/X11 symlink to smooth X's move to /usr/bin, but this is far
296 enough in the past now that it's probably safe to just use /usr/bin.
297 * Remove SSHD_OOM_ADJUST configuration. sshd now unconditionally makes
298 itself non-OOM-killable, and doesn't require configuration to avoid log
299 spam in virtualisation containers (closes: #555625).
300 * Drop Debian-specific removal of OpenSSL version check. Upstream ignores
301 the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
302 original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
303 change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
304 name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
305 would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
306 a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)
307 * Drop most of our "LogLevel SILENT" (-qq) patch. This was originally
308 introduced to match the behaviour of non-free SSH, in which -q does not
309 suppress fatal errors, but matching the behaviour of OpenSSH upstream is
310 much more important nowadays. We no longer document that -q does not
311 suppress fatal errors (closes: #280609). Migrate "LogLevel SILENT" to
312 "LogLevel QUIET" in sshd_config on upgrade.
313 * Policy version 3.8.4:
314 - Add a Homepage field.

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

365 in sshd dying (LP: #497781).
366 - Output a debug if we can't open an existing keyfile (LP: #505301).
367 * Use host compiler for ssh-askpass-gnome when cross-compiling.
368 * Don't run tests when cross-compiling.
369 * Drop change from 1:3.6.1p2-5 to disable cmsg_type check for file
370 descriptor passing when running on Linux 2.0. The previous stable
371 release of Debian dropped support for Linux 2.4, let alone 2.0, so this
372 very likely has no remaining users depending on it.
375 * Implement DebianBanner server configuration flag that can be set to "no"
376 to allow sshd to run without the Debian-specific extra version in the

385 - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the
386 revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to
387 CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".
388 - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the
389 SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid
390 packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue
391 reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than
392 immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the
393 known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the
394 plaintext of injected data which formed the basis of this attack
395 (closes: #506115, LP: #379329).

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

700 for the blacklist check in ssh-add.

702 ssh-keygen(1), and sshd(8) (closes: #484451).
703 * Change openssh-client-udeb's Installer-Menu-Item from 99900 to 99999

921 * New upstream release (closes: #453367).
922 - CVE-2007-4752: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if
923 creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec
925 - sshd(8) in new installations defaults to SSH Protocol 2 only. Existing
926 installations are unchanged.
927 - The SSH channel window size has been increased, and both ssh(1)
928 sshd(8) now send window updates more aggressively. These improves
929 performance on high-BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks.
930 - ssh(1) and sshd(8) now preserve MAC contexts between packets, which
931 saves 2 hash calls per packet and results in 12-16% speedup for
933 - A new MAC algorithm has been added, UMAC-64 (RFC4418) as
934 "umac-64@openssh.com". UMAC-64 has been measured to be approximately
935 20% faster than HMAC-MD5.
936 - Failure to establish a ssh(1) TunnelForward is now treated as a fatal
937 error when the ExitOnForwardFailure option is set.
938 - ssh(1) returns a sensible exit status if the control master goes away
939 without passing the full exit status.
940 - When using a ProxyCommand in ssh(1), set the outgoing hostname with
941 gethostname(2), allowing hostbased authentication to work.
942 - Make scp(1) skip FIFOs rather than hanging (closes: #246774).
943 - Encode non-printing characters in scp(1) filenames. These could cause
944 copies to be aborted with a "protocol error".
945 - Handle SIGINT in sshd(8) privilege separation child process to ensure
946 that wtmp and lastlog records are correctly updated.
947 - Report GSSAPI mechanism in errors, for libraries that support multiple
949 - Improve documentation for ssh-add(1)'s -d option.
950 - Rearrange and tidy GSSAPI code, removing server-only code being linked
952 - Delay execution of ssh(1)'s LocalCommand until after all forwardings
953 have been established.
954 - In scp(1), do not truncate non-regular files.
955 - Improve exit message from ControlMaster clients.
956 - Prevent sftp-server(8) from reading until it runs out of buffer space,
957 whereupon it would exit with a fatal error (closes: #365541).
958 - pam_end() was not being called if authentication failed
960 - Manual page datestamps updated (closes: #433181).
961 * Install the OpenSSH FAQ in /usr/share/doc/openssh-client.
962 - Includes documentation on copying files with colons using scp

1070 openssh (1:4.6p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
1072 * New upstream release (closes: #395507, #397961, #420035). Important
1073 changes not previously backported to 4.3p2:
1074 - 4.4/4.4p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.4):
1075 + On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be
1076 used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.
1077 + Implemented conditional configuration in sshd_config(5) using the
1078 "Match" directive. This allows some configuration options to be
1079 selectively overridden if specific criteria (based on user, group,
1080 hostname and/or address) are met. So far a useful subset of
1081 post-authentication options are supported and more are expected to
1082 be added in future releases.
1083 + Add support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange key agreement with a
1084 final hash of SHA256.
1085 + Added a "ForceCommand" directive to sshd_config(5). Similar to the
1086 command="..." option accepted in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this forces
1087 the execution of the specified command regardless of what the user
1088 requested. This is very useful in conjunction with the new "Match"
1090 + Add a "PermitOpen" directive to sshd_config(5). This mirrors the
1091 permitopen="..." authorized_keys option, allowing fine-grained
1092 control over the port-forwardings that a user is allowed to
1094 + Add optional logging of transactions to sftp-server(8).
1095 + ssh(1) will now record port numbers for hosts stored in
1096 ~/.ssh/known_hosts when a non-standard port has been requested
1098 + Add an "ExitOnForwardFailure" option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with a
1099 non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be
1101 + Extend sshd_config(5) "SubSystem" declarations to allow the
1102 specification of command-line arguments.
1103 + Replacement of all integer overflow susceptible invocations of
1104 malloc(3) and realloc(3) with overflow-checking equivalents.
1105 + Many manpage fixes and improvements.
1106 + Add optional support for OpenSSL hardware accelerators (engines),
1107 enabled using the --with-ssl-engine configure option.
1108 + Tokens in configuration files may be double-quoted in order to
1109 contain spaces (closes: #319639).
1110 + Move a debug() call out of a SIGCHLD handler, fixing a hang when the
1111 session exits very quickly (closes: #307890).
1112 + Fix some incorrect buffer allocation calculations (closes: #410599).
1113 + ssh-add doesn't ask for a passphrase if key file permissions are too
1114 liberal (closes: #103677).
1115 + Likewise, ssh doesn't ask either (closes: #99675).
1116 - 4.6/4.6p1 (http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-4.6):
1117 + sshd now allows the enabling and disabling of authentication methods
1118 on a per user, group, host and network basis via the Match directive
1120 + Fixed an inconsistent check for a terminal when displaying scp
1121 progress meter (closes: #257524).
1122 + Fix "hang on exit" when background processes are running at the time
1123 of exit on a ttyful/login session (closes: #88337).
1124 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from
1125 http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-4.6p1-gsskex-20070312.patch;
1126 install ChangeLog.gssapi.
1127 * Build the .deb --with-ssl-engine (closes: #408027, LP: #119295).
1128 * Use LSB functions in init scripts, and add an LSB-style header (partly
1129 from Ubuntu and partly thanks to Christian Perrier; closes: #389038).
1130 * Move init script start links to S16, move rc1 stop link to K84, and
1131 remove rc0 and rc6 stop links altogether (the last part from Ubuntu;
1133 * Emit a slightly more informative message from the init script if
1134 /dev/null has somehow become not a character device (closes: #369964).
1135 * Belatedly build-depend on zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.2.3-1) (closes: #333447).
1136 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1137 - Build position-independent executables (only for debs, not for udebs)
1138 to take advantage of address space layout randomisation.
1139 - If building on Ubuntu, add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to

1218 away from them on upgrade.
1219 * It turns out that the people who told me that removing a conffile in the
1220 preinst was sufficient to have dpkg replace it without prompting when
1221 moving a conffile between packages were very much mistaken. As far as I
1222 can tell, the only way to do this reliably is to write out the desired
1223 new text of the conffile in the preinst. This is gross, and requires
1224 shipping the text of all conffiles in the preinst too, but there's
1225 nothing for it. Fortunately this nonsense is only required for smooth
1226 upgrades from sarge.

1340 openssh (1:4.3p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
1342 * New upstream release (closes: #361032).
1343 - CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a
1344 subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy
1345 operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion twice;
1346 allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing shell
1347 metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead to execution
1348 of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of the user running
1349 scp (closes: #349645).
1350 - Add support for tunneling arbitrary network packets over a connection
1351 between an OpenSSH client and server via tun(4) virtual network
1352 interfaces. This allows the use of OpenSSH (4.3+) to create a true VPN
1353 between the client and server providing real network connectivity at
1354 layer 2 or 3. This feature is experimental.
1355 - Reduce default key length for new DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen
1356 back to 1024 bits. DSA is not specified for longer lengths and does
1357 not fully benefit from simply making keys longer. As per FIPS 186-2
1358 Change Notice 1, ssh-keygen will refuse to generate a new DSA key
1359 smaller or larger than 1024 bits.
1360 - Fixed X forwarding failing to start when the X11 client is executed in
1361 background at the time of session exit.
1362 - Change ssh-keygen to generate a protocol 2 RSA key when invoked
1363 without arguments (closes: #114894).
1364 - Fix timing variance for valid vs. invalid accounts when attempting
1365 Kerberos authentication.
1366 - Ensure that ssh always returns code 255 on internal error
1368 - Cleanup wtmp files on SIGTERM when not using privsep.
1369 - Set SO_REUSEADDR on X11 listeners to avoid problems caused by
1370 lingering sockets from previous session (X11 applications can
1371 sometimes not connect to 127.0.0.1:60xx) (closes:
1372 https://launchpad.net/bugs/25528).
1373 - Ensure that fds 0, 1 and 2 are always attached in all programs, by
1374 duping /dev/null to them if necessary.
1375 - Xauth list invocation had bogus "." argument.
1376 - Remove internal assumptions on key exchange hash algorithm and output
1377 length, preparing OpenSSH for KEX methods with alternate hashes.
1378 - Ignore junk sent by a server before it sends the "SSH-" banner.
1379 - Many manual page improvements.
1380 - Lots of cleanups, including fixes to memory leaks on error paths and
1382 * Update to current GSSAPI patch from

1385 * debian/rules: Resynchronise CFLAGS with that generated by configure.
1386 * Restore pam_nologin to /etc/pam.d/ssh; sshd no longer checks this itself
1387 when PAM is enabled, but relies on PAM to do it.
1388 * Rename KeepAlive to TCPKeepAlive in default sshd_config
1390 * Rephrase ssh/new_config and ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen debconf
1391 templates to make boolean short descriptions end with a question mark

1490 port forwardings when no listen address was explicitly specified

1493 credentials. This code is only built in openssh-krb5, not openssh, but
1494 I mention the CVE reference here anyway for completeness.
1495 - Add a new compression method ("Compression delayed") that delays zlib
1496 compression until after authentication, eliminating the risk of zlib
1497 vulnerabilities being exploited by unauthenticated users. Note that
1498 users of OpenSSH versions earlier than 3.5 will need to disable
1499 compression on the client or set "Compression yes" (losing this
1500 security benefit) on the server.

1765 * Split the ssh binary package into openssh-client and openssh-server
1766 (closes: #39741). openssh-server depends on openssh-client for some
1767 common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package
1768 for this. openssh-client is priority standard, openssh-server optional.
1769 * New transitional ssh package, priority optional, depending on
1770 openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends
1772 * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult
1773 for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from
1774 without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move
1775 a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
1776 and ssh/user_environment_tell.
1777 * Add a heuristic to try to make sure the sshd_config upgrade to >= 3.7
1778 happens even though we don't know what version we're upgrading from.
1779 * Remove /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run on purge of openssh-server. For now
1780 (until sarge+2) it's still honoured to avoid breaking existing
1781 configurations, but the right approach is now to remove the
1782 openssh-server package if you don't want to run the server. Add a NEWS
1783 item to that effect.

1952 - New PAM implementation based on that in FreeBSD. This runs PAM session
1953 modules before dropping privileges (closes: #132681, #150968).
1954 - Since PAM session modules are run as root, we can turn pam_limits back
1955 on by default, and it no longer spits out "Operation not permitted" to
1956 syslog (closes: #171673).
1957 - Password expiry works again (closes: #153235).
1958 - 'ssh -q' suppresses login banner (closes: #134589).
1959 - sshd doesn't lie to PAM about invalid usernames (closes: #157078).
1960 - ssh-add prints key comment on each prompt (closes: #181869).
1961 - Punctuation formatting fixed in man pages (closes: #191131).
1962 - EnableSSHKeysign documented in ssh_config(5) (closes: #224457).
1963 * Add 'UsePAM yes' to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on upgrade from versions older
1964 than this, to maintain the standard Debian sshd configuration.
1965 * Comment out PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt and RhostsAuthentication in
1966 sshd_config on upgrade. Neither option is supported any more.
1967 * Privilege separation and PAM are now properly supported together, so
1968 remove both debconf questions related to them and simply set it
1969 unconditionally in newly generated sshd_config files (closes: #228838).
1970 * ServerAliveInterval implemented upstream, so ProtocolKeepAlives is now a
1971 compatibility alias. The semantics differ slightly, though; see
1972 ssh_config(5) for details.
1973 * Implement SSH1 support for ServerAliveInterval using SSH_MSG_IGNORE. As
1974 documented in ssh_config(5), it's not as good as the SSH2 version.
1975 * Remove -fno-builtin-log, -DHAVE_MMAP_ANON_SHARED, and
1976 -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 compiler options, which are no longer necessary.
1977 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20040105.1.
1979 - Reset signal status when starting pam auth thread, prevent hanging
1980 during PAM keyboard-interactive authentications.
1981 - Fix a non-security-critical segfault in PAM authentication.

2191 * Add /etc/default/ssh (closes: #161049).
2192 * Run the init script under 'set -e' (closes: #175010).
2193 * Change the default superuser path to include /sbin, /usr/sbin, and
2194 /usr/local/sbin (closes: #128235, #151267). Using login.defs would be
2195 nice, but that belongs to another package. Without a defined API to
2196 retrieve its settings, parsing it is off-limits.
2197 * Build ssh-askpass-gnome with GNOME 2. The source package should still
2198 support building on stable with GNOME 1, using the alternate
2199 libgnome-dev build-dependency (thanks, Colin Walters; closes: #167582).

2205 * Point rlogin and rcp alternatives at slogin and scp respectively rather
2206 than ssh (closes: #121103, #151666). Fix alternative removal to match;
2207 previously it was completely wrong anyway.
2208 * Find out whether /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run exists and set the debconf
2209 question's default using that information, rather than using debconf as
2210 a registry. Other solutions may be better in the long run, but this is
2211 at least correct (thanks, Matthew Woodcraft; closes: #84725).
2212 * Stop using pam_lastlog, as it doesn't currently work well as a session
2213 module when privilege separation is enabled; it can usually read
2214 /var/log/lastlog but can't write to it. Instead, just use sshd's
2215 built-in support, already enabled by default (closes: #151297, #169938).
2216 * Use 'ssh-keygen -q' rather than redirecting output to /dev/null.
2217 * Add a "this may take some time" warning when creating host keys on
2218 installation (part of #110094).
2219 * When restarting via the init script, check for sshd_not_to_be_run after
2220 stopping sshd (idea from Tomas Pospisek; closes: #149850).
2221 * Append /usr/sbin:/sbin to the init script's $PATH, just in case of
2222 strangeness (closes: #115138).

2237 * Remove some duplication from the postinst's ssh-keysign setuid code.
2238 * Replace db_text with db_input throughout debian/config. (db_text has
2239 been a compatibility wrapper since debconf 0.1.5.)
2240 * Warn about PermitUserEnvironment on upgrade (closes: #167895).
2241 * Use 'make install-nokeys', and disable unused debhelper commands,
2242 thereby forward-porting the last pieces of Zack Weinberg's patch
2244 * Move the man page for gnome-ssh-askpass from the ssh package to
2245 ssh-askpass-gnome (closes: #174449).
2246 * Build with -DLOGIN_NO_ENDOPT, since Debian's /bin/login doesn't accept
2247 '--' to terminate the list of options (closes: #171554).
2248 * Add Jonathan Amery's ssh-argv0 script (closes: #111341).

2269 - Fixes typo in ssh-add usage (closes: #152239).
2270 - Fixes 'PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only' (closes: #166184).
2271 - ~/.ssh/environment and environment= options in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
2272 are deprecated for security reasons and will eventually go away. For
2273 now they can be re-enabled by setting 'PermitUserEnvironment yes' in
2275 - ssh-agent is installed setgid to prevent ptrace() attacks. The group
2276 actually doesn't matter, as it drops privileges immediately, but to
2277 avoid confusion the postinst creates a new 'ssh' group for it.
2279 - Solar Designer's privsep+compression patch for Linux 2.2 (see
2281 - Hostbased auth ssh-keysign backport (see 1:3.4p1-4).
2283 * Remove duplicated phrase in ssh_config(5) (closes: #152404).
2284 * Source the debconf confmodule at the top of the postrm rather than at
2285 the bottom, to avoid making future non-idempotency problems worse (see
2287 * Debconf templates:
2288 - Add Polish (thanks, Grzegorz Kusnierz).

3072 oldssh -> openssh preinst fails due to upgrade_to_openssh=false
3073 -> ssh-nonfree -> openssh. Without these, debconf remembered
3074 the old answer, config didn't force asking it, and preinst always
3075 aborted (closes: #56596, #57782)
3076 * Moved setting upgrade_to_openssh isdefault flag to the place
3077 where preinst would abort. This means no double question to most
3078 users, people who currently suffer from "can't upgrade" may need
3079 to run apt-get install ssh twice. Did not do the same for
3080 use_old_init_script, as the situation is a bit different, and
3081 less common (closes: #54010, #56224)
3082 * Check for existance of ssh-keygen before attempting to use it in
3083 preinst, added warning for non-existant ssh-keygen in config. This
3084 happens when the old ssh is removed (say, due to ssh-nonfree getting
