html Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support of the project, especially those who contributed code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots and purchased T-shirts or posters. T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project.
eu Changes since OpenSSH 42: ============================ Security bugs resolved in this release: * CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion twice; allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing shell metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead to execution of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of the user running scp (Bugzilla #1094) This is primarily a bug-fix release, only one new feature has been added: * Add support for tunneling arbitrary network packets over a connection between an OpenSSH client and server via tun virtual network interfaces. Other operating systems with tun/tap interface capability may be added in future portable OpenSSH releases. Please refer to the READMEtun file in the source distribution for further details and usage examples. Some of the other bugs resolved and internal improvements are: * Reduce default key length for new DSA keys generated by ssh-keygen back to 1024 bits. DSA is not specified for longer lengths and does not fully benefit from simply making keys longer. As per FIPS 186-2 Change Notice 1, ssh-keygen will refuse to generate a new DSA key smaller or larger than 1024 bits * Fixed X forwarding failing to start when a the X11 client is executed in background at the time of session exit (Bugzilla #1086) * Change ssh-keygen to generate a protocol 2 RSA key when invoked without arguments (Bugzilla #1064) * Fix timing variance for valid vs. " argument (Bugzilla #1082) * Remove internal assumptions on key exchange hash algorithm and output length, preparing OpenSSH for KEX methods with alternate hashes. Note that on platforms using PAM, the pam_nologin module should be used in sshd's session stack in order to maintain past behaviour - Portability-related fixes: #989 - Fix multiplexing regress test on Solaris #1097 - Cross-compile fixes.
