Hi,
OpenSSH 6.0 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing
on as many platforms and systems as possible. This release contains a
couple of new features and changes and bug fixes. Testing of the new
sandboxed privilege separation mode (see below) would be particularly
appreciated.
Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from
http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/
The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
Portable OpenSSH is also available via anonymous CVS using the
instructions at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#cvs or
via Mercurial at http://hg.mindrot.org/openssh
Running the regression tests supplied with Portable OpenSSH does not
require installation and is a simply:
$ ./configure && make tests
Live testing on suitable non-production systems is also
appreciated. Please send reports of success or failure to
openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org.
Below is a summary of changes. More detail may be found in the ChangeLog
in the portable OpenSSH tarballs.
Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release.
-------------------------------
Features:
* ssh-keygen(1): Add optional checkpoints for moduli screening
* ssh-add(1): new -k option to load plain keys (skipping certificates)
* sshd(8): Add wildcard support to PermitOpen, allowing things like
"PermitOpen localhost:*". bz #1857
* ssh(1): support for cancelling local and remote port forwards via the
multiplex socket. Use ssh -O cancel -L xx:xx:xx -R yy:yy:yy user@host"
to request the cancellation of the specified forwardings
* support cancellation of local/dynamic forwardings from ~C commandline
Bugfixes:
* ssh(1): ensure that $DISPLAY contains only valid characters before
using it to extract xauth data so that it can't be used to play local
shell metacharacter games.
* ssh(1): unbreak remote portforwarding with dynamic allocated listen ports
* scp(1): uppress adding '--' to remote commandlines when the first
argument does not start with '-'. saves breakage on some
difficult-to-upgrade embedded/router platforms
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): fix typo in IPQoS parsing: there is no "AF14" class,
but there is an "AF21" class
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): do not permit SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST/ACCEPT during
rekeying
* ssh(1): skip attempting to create ~/.ssh when -F is passed
* sshd(8): unbreak stdio forwarding when ControlPersist is in use; bz#1943
* sshd(1): send tty break to pty master instead of (probably already
closed) slave side; bz#1859
* sftp(1): silence error spam for "ls */foo" in directory with files;
bz#1683
* Fixed a number of memory and file descriptor leaks
Portable OpenSSH:
* ssh-keygen(1): don't fail in -A on platforms that don't support ECC
* Add optional support for LDNS, a BSD licensed DNS resolver library
which supports DNSSEC
