Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional security
checks of the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is
not set by default.
Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates
in the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters
was added as an additional strict check.
An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result
of a previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are
valid CA certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses
the check that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other
certificates.
If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent
opportunity for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of
the named "purpose" values implemented in libcrypto perform this
check. Therefore, where a purpose is set the certificate chain will
still be rejected even when the strict flag has been used. A purpose
is set by default in libssl client and server certificate verification
routines, but it can be overridden or removed by an application.
In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a
purpose for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS
client or server applications, override the default purpose.

Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a
maliciously crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client.
If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms
extension (where it was present in the initial ClientHello), but
includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer
dereference will result, leading to a crash and a denial of service
attack.
A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation
enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients
are not impacted by this issue. ([CVE-2021-3449])

OpenSSH 8.5 was released on 2021-03-03. It is available from the
mirrors listed at https://www.openssh.com/.
OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation and
includes sftp client and server support.
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 or donated to the
project. More information on donations may be found at:

Future deprecation notice
=========================
It is now possible[1] to perform chosen-prefix attacks against the
SHA-1 algorithm for less than USD$50K.
In the SSH protocol, the "ssh-rsa" signature scheme uses the SHA-1
hash algorithm in conjunction with the RSA public key algorithm.
OpenSSH will disable this signature scheme by default in the near
future.
Note that the deactivation of "ssh-rsa" signatures does not necessarily
require cessation of use for RSA keys. In the SSH protocol, keys may be
capable of signing using multiple algorithms. In particular, "ssh-rsa"
keys are capable of signing using "rsa-sha2-256" (RSA/SHA256),
"rsa-sha2-512" (RSA/SHA512) and "ssh-rsa" (RSA/SHA1). Only the last of
these is being turned off by default.
This algorithm is unfortunately still used widely despite the
existence of better alternatives, being the only remaining public key
signature algorithm specified by the original SSH RFCs that is still
enabled by default.
The better alternatives include:
* The RFC8332 RSA SHA-2 signature algorithms rsa-sha2-256/512. These
algorithms have the advantage of using the same key type as
"ssh-rsa" but use the safe SHA-2 hash algorithms. These have been
supported since OpenSSH 7.2 and are already used by default if the
client and server support them.
* The RFC8709 ssh-ed25519 signature algorithm. It has been supported
in OpenSSH since release 6.5.
* The RFC5656 ECDSA algorithms: ecdsa-sha2-nistp256/384/521. These
have been supported by OpenSSH since release 5.7.
To check whether a server is using the weak ssh-rsa public key
algorithm, for host authentication, try to connect to it after
removing the ssh-rsa algorithm from ssh(1)'s allowed list:
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=-ssh-rsa user@host
If the host key verification fails and no other supported host key
types are available, the server software on that host should be
upgraded.
This release enables the UpdateHostKeys option by default to assist
the client by automatically migrating to better algorithms.

Security
========
* ssh-agent(1): fixed a double-free memory corruption that was
introduced in OpenSSH 8.2 . We treat all such memory faults as
potentially exploitable. This bug could be reached by an attacker
with access to the agent socket.
On modern operating systems where the OS can provide information
about the user identity connected to a socket, OpenSSH ssh-agent
and sshd limit agent socket access only to the originating user
and root. Additional mitigation may be afforded by the system's
malloc(3)/free(3) implementation, if it detects double-free
conditions.
The most likely scenario for exploitation is a user forwarding an
agent either to an account shared with a malicious user or to a
host with an attacker holding root access.
* Portable sshd(8): Prevent excessively long username going to PAM.
This is a mitigation for a buffer overflow in Solaris' PAM username
handling (CVE-2020-14871), and is only enabled for Sun-derived PAM
implementations. This is not a problem in sshd itself, it only
prevents sshd from being used as a vector to attack Solaris' PAM.
It does not prevent the bug in PAM from being exploited via some
other PAM application. GHPR212
Potentially-incompatible changes
================================
This release includes a number of changes that may affect existing
configurations:
* ssh(1), sshd(8): this release changes the first-preference signature
algorithm from ECDSA to ED25519.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): set the TOS/DSCP specified in the configuration
for interactive use prior to TCP connect. The connection phase of
the SSH session is time-sensitive and often explicitly interactive.
The ultimate interactive/bulk TOS/DSCP will be set after
authentication completes.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): remove the pre-standardization cipher
rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se. It is an alias for aes256-cbc before
it was standardized in RFC4253 (2006), has been deprecated and
disabled by default since OpenSSH 7.2 (2016) and was only briefly
documented in ssh.1 in 2001.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): update/replace the experimental post-quantum
hybrid key exchange method based on Streamlined NTRU Prime coupled
with X25519.
The previous sntrup4591761x25519-sha512@tinyssh.org method is
replaced with sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com. Per its
designers, the sntrup4591761 algorithm was superseded almost two
years ago by sntrup761.
(note this both the updated method and the one that it replaced are
disabled by default)
* ssh(1): disable CheckHostIP by default. It provides insignificant
benefits while making key rotation significantly more difficult,
especially for hosts behind IP-based load-balancers.
Changes since OpenSSH 8.4
=========================
New features
------------
* ssh(1): this release enables UpdateHostkeys by default subject to
some conservative preconditions:
- The key was matched in the UserKnownHostsFile (and not in the
GlobalKnownHostsFile).
- The same key does not exist under another name.
- A certificate host key is not in use.
- known_hosts contains no matching wildcard hostname pattern.
- VerifyHostKeyDNS is not enabled.
- The default UserKnownHostsFile is in use.
We expect some of these conditions will be modified or relaxed in
future.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): add a new LogVerbose configuration directive for
that allows forcing maximum debug logging by file/function/line
pattern-lists.
* ssh(1): when prompting the user to accept a new hostkey, display
any other host names/addresses already associated with the key.
* ssh(1): allow UserKnownHostsFile=none to indicate that no
known_hosts file should be used to identify host keys.
* ssh(1): add a ssh_config KnownHostsCommand option that allows the
client to obtain known_hosts data from a command in addition to
the usual files.
* ssh(1): add a ssh_config PermitRemoteOpen option that allows the
client to restrict the destination when RemoteForward is used
with SOCKS.
* ssh(1): for FIDO keys, if a signature operation fails with a
"incorrect PIN" reason and no PIN was initially requested from the
user, then request a PIN and retry the operation. This supports
some biometric devices that fall back to requiring PIN when reading
of the biometric failed, and devices that require PINs for all
hosted credentials.
* sshd(8): implement client address-based rate-limiting via new
sshd_config(5) PerSourceMaxStartups and PerSourceNetBlockSize
directives that provide more fine-grained control on a per-origin
address basis than the global MaxStartups limit.
Bugfixes
--------
* ssh(1): Prefix keyboard interactive prompts with "(user@host)" to
make it easier to determine which connection they are associated
with in cases like scp -3, ProxyJump, etc. bz#3224
* sshd(8): fix sshd_config SetEnv directives located inside Match
blocks. GHPR201
* ssh(1): when requesting a FIDO token touch on stderr, inform the
user once the touch has been recorded.
* ssh(1): prevent integer overflow when ridiculously large
ConnectTimeout values are specified, capping the effective value
(for most platforms) at 24 days. bz#3229
* ssh(1): consider the ECDSA key subtype when ordering host key
algorithms in the client.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): rename the PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes keyword to
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms. The previous name incorrectly suggested
that it control allowed key algorithms, when this option actually
specifies the signature algorithms that are accepted. The previous
name remains available as an alias. bz#3253
* ssh(1), sshd(8): similarly, rename HostbasedKeyTypes (ssh) and
HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes (sshd) to HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms.
* sftp-server(8): add missing lsetstat@openssh.com documentation
and advertisement in the server's SSH2_FXP_VERSION hello packet.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): more strictly enforce KEX state-machine by
banning packet types once they are received. Fixes memleak caused
by duplicate SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST (oss-fuzz #30078).
* sftp(1): allow the full range of UIDs/GIDs for chown/chgrp on 32bit
platforms instead of being limited by LONG_MAX. bz#3206
* Minor man page fixes (capitalization, commas, etc.) bz#3223
* sftp(1): when doing an sftp recursive upload or download of a
read-only directory, ensure that the directory is created with
write and execute permissions in the interim so that the transfer
can actually complete, then set the directory permission as the
final step. bz#3222
* ssh-keygen(1): document the -Z, check the validity of its argument
earlier and provide a better error message if it's not correct.
bz#2879
* ssh(1): ignore comments at the end of config lines in ssh_config,
similar to what we already do for sshd_config. bz#2320
* sshd_config(5): mention that DisableForwarding is valid in a
sshd_config Match block. bz3239
* sftp(1): fix incorrect sorting of "ls -ltr" under some
circumstances. bz3248.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): fix potential integer truncation of (unlikely)
timeout values. bz#3250
* ssh(1): make hostbased authentication send the signature algorithm
in its SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST packets instead of the key type.
This make HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms do what it is supposed to -
filter on signature algorithm and not key type.
Portability
-----------
* sshd(8): add a number of platform-specific syscalls to the Linux
seccomp-bpf sandbox. bz#3232 bz#3260
* sshd(8): remove debug message from sigchld handler that could cause
deadlock on some platforms. bz#3259
* Sync contrib/ssh-copy-id with upstream.
* unittests: add a hostname function for systems that don't have it.
Some systems don't have a hostname command (it's not required by
POSIX). The do have uname -n (which is), but not all of those have
it report the FQDN.

Reporting Bugs:
===============
- Please read https://www.openssh.com/report.html
Security bugs should be reported directly to openssh@openssh.com
*) Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts
to create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial
number data contained within an X509 certificate. However it
was failing to correctly handle any errors that may occur
while parsing the issuer field (which might occur if the issuer
field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently result
in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential
denial of service attack.
(CVE-2021-23841)
[Matt Caswell]
*) Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the
RSA_SSLV23_PADDING padding mode to correctly check for rollback
attacks. This is considered a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it
does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is CVE-2021-23839.
[Matt Caswell]
*) Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
functions. Previously they could overflow the output length
argument in some cases where the input length is close to the
maximum permissable length for an integer on the platform. In
such cases the return value from the function call would be
1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly
or crash.
(CVE-2021-23840)
[Matt Caswell]
*) Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time.
The previous implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting
BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This could be exploited in a side channel
attack to recover the password. Since the attack is local host
only this is outside of the current OpenSSL threat model and
therefore no CVE is assigned.
Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting
this issue.
[Matt Caswell]
Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function This
function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
If an attacker can control both items being compared then this
could lead to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself
uses the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL
and a CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate When
verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token) (CVE-2020-1971)

Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
Tomas Mraz
The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now
silently ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring
DTLS-based contexts, and conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol
version bounds when configuring TLS-based contexts. The commands
can be repeated to set bounds of both types. The same applies with
the corresponding "min_protocol" and "max_protocol" command-line
switches, in case some application uses both TLS and DTLS.
SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version
(e.g. TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds.
Previously attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions
would result in an error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX
instances are subject to limits in configuration files in command-line
options.

Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped

It is now possible[1] to perform chosen-prefix attacks against the
SHA-1 algorithm for less than USD$50K. For this reason, we will be
disabling the "ssh-rsa" public key signature algorithm by default in a
near-future release.
This algorithm is unfortunately still used widely despite the

The better alternatives include:

upgraded.
We intend to enable UpdateHostKeys by default in the next OpenSSH
release. This will assist the client by automatically migrating to
better algorithms. Users may consider enabling this option manually.

Security
========
* ssh-agent(1): restrict ssh-agent from signing web challenges for
FIDO/U2F keys.
When signing messages in ssh-agent using a FIDO key that has an
application string that does not start with "ssh:", ensure that the
message being signed is one of the forms expected for the SSH protocol
(currently public key authentication and sshsig signatures).
This prevents ssh-agent forwarding on a host that has FIDO keys
attached granting the ability for the remote side to sign challenges
for web authentication using those keys too.
Note that the converse case of web browsers signing SSH challenges is
already precluded because no web RP can have the "ssh:" prefix in the
application string that we require.
* ssh-keygen(1): Enable FIDO 2.1 credProtect extension when generating
a FIDO resident key.
The recent FIDO 2.1 Client to Authenticator Protocol introduced a
"credProtect" feature to better protect resident keys. We use this
option to require a PIN prior to all operations that may retrieve
a resident key from a FIDO token.
Potentially-incompatible changes
================================
This release includes a number of changes that may affect existing
configurations:
* For FIDO/U2F support, OpenSSH recommends the use of libfido2 1.5.0
or greater. Older libraries have limited support at the expense of
disabling particular features. These include resident keys, PIN-
required keys and multiple attached tokens.
* ssh-keygen(1): the format of the attestation information optionally
recorded when a FIDO key is generated has changed. It now includes
the authenticator data needed to validate attestation signatures.
* The API between OpenSSH and the FIDO token middleware has changed
and the SSH_SK_VERSION_MAJOR version has been incremented as a
result. Third-party middleware libraries must support the current
API version (7) to work with OpenSSH 8.4.
* The portable OpenSSH distribution now requires automake to rebuild
the configure script and supporting files. This is not required when
simply building portable OpenSSH from a release tar file.
Changes since OpenSSH 8.3
=========================
New features
------------
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): support for FIDO keys that require a PIN for
each use. These keys may be generated using ssh-keygen using a new
"verify-required" option. When a PIN-required key is used, the user
will be prompted for a PIN to complete the signature operation.
* sshd(8): authorized_keys now supports a new "verify-required"
option to require FIDO signatures assert that the token verified
that the user was present before making the signature. The FIDO
protocol supports multiple methods for user-verification, but
currently OpenSSH only supports PIN verification.
* sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): add support for verifying FIDO webauthn
signatures. Webauthn is a standard for using FIDO keys in web
browsers. These signatures are a slightly different format to plain
FIDO signatures and thus require explicit support.
* ssh(1): allow some keywords to expand shell-style ${ENV}
environment variables. The supported keywords are CertificateFile,
ControlPath, IdentityAgent and IdentityFile, plus LocalForward and
RemoteForward when used for Unix domain socket paths. bz#3140
* ssh(1), ssh-agent(1): allow some additional control over the use of
ssh-askpass via a new $SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE environment variable,
including forcibly enabling and disabling its use. bz#69
* ssh(1): allow ssh_config(5)'s AddKeysToAgent keyword accept a time
limit for keys in addition to its current flag options. Time-
limited keys will automatically be removed from ssh-agent after
their expiry time has passed.
* scp(1), sftp(1): allow the -A flag to explicitly enable agent
forwarding in scp and sftp. The default remains to not forward an
agent, even when ssh_config enables it.
* ssh(1): add a '%k' TOKEN that expands to the effective HostKey of
the destination. This allows, e.g., keeping host keys in individual
files using "UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/%k". bz#1654
* ssh(1): add %-TOKEN, environment variable and tilde expansion to
the UserKnownHostsFile directive, allowing the path to be
completed by the configuration (e.g. bz#1654)
* ssh-keygen(1): allow "ssh-add -d -" to read keys to be deleted
from stdin. bz#3180
* sshd(8): improve logging for MaxStartups connection throttling.
sshd will now log when it starts and stops throttling and periodically
while in this state. bz#3055
Bugfixes
--------
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): better support for multiple attached FIDO
tokens. In cases where OpenSSH cannot unambiguously determine which
token to direct a request to, the user is now required to select a
token by touching it. In cases of operations that require a PIN to
be verified, this avoids sending the wrong PIN to the wrong token
and incrementing the token's PIN failure counter (tokens
effectively erase their keys after too many PIN failures).
* sshd(8): fix Include before Match in sshd_config; bz#3122
* ssh(1): close stdin/out/error when forking after authentication
completes ("ssh -f ...") bz#3137
* ssh(1), sshd(8): limit the amount of channel input data buffered,
avoiding peers that advertise large windows but are slow to read
from causing high memory consumption.
* ssh-agent(1): handle multiple requests sent in a single write() to
the agent.
* sshd(8): allow sshd_config longer than 256k
* sshd(8): avoid spurious "Unable to load host key" message when sshd
load a private key but no public counterpart
* ssh(1): prefer the default hostkey algorithm list whenever we have
a hostkey that matches its best-preference algorithm.
* sshd(1): when ordering the hostkey algorithms to request from a
server, prefer certificate types if the known_hosts files contain a key
marked as a @cert-authority; bz#3157
* ssh(1): perform host key fingerprint comparisons for the "Are you
sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?"
prompt with case sensitivity.
* sshd(8): ensure that address/masklen mismatches in sshd_config
yield fatal errors at daemon start time rather than later when
they are evaluated.
* ssh-keygen(1): ensure that certificate extensions are lexically
sorted. Previously if the user specified a custom extension then
the everything would be in order except the custom ones. bz#3198
* ssh(1): also compare username when checking for JumpHost loops.
bz#3057
* ssh-keygen(1): preserve group/world read permission on known_hosts
files across runs of "ssh-keygen -Rf /path". The old behaviour was
to remove all rights for group/other. bz#3146
* ssh-keygen(1): Mention the [-a rounds] flag in the ssh-keygen
manual page and usage().
* sshd(8): explicitly construct path to ~/.ssh/rc rather than
relying on it being relative to the current directory, so that it
can still be found if the shell startup changes its directory.
bz#3185
* sshd(8): when redirecting sshd's log output to a file, undo this
redirection after the session child process is forked(). Fixes
missing log messages when using this feature under some
circumstances.
* sshd(8): start ClientAliveInterval bookkeeping before first pass
through select() loop; fixed theoretical case where busy sshd may
ignore timeouts from client.
* ssh(1): only reset the ServerAliveInterval check when we receive
traffic from the server and ignore traffic from a port forwarding
client, preventing a client from keeping a connection alive when
it should be terminated. bz#2265
* ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious error message when ssh-keygen
creates files outside ~/.ssh
* sftp-client(1): fix off-by-one error that caused sftp downloads to
make one more concurrent request that desired. This prevented using
sftp(1) in unpipelined request/response mode, which is useful when
debugging. bz#3054
* ssh(1), sshd(8): handle EINTR in waitfd() and timeout_connect()
helpers. bz#3071
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): defer creation of ~/.ssh until we attempt to
write to it so we don't leave an empty .ssh directory when it's not
needed. bz#3156
* ssh(1), sshd(8): fix multiplier when parsing time specifications
when handling seconds after other units. bz#3171
Portability
-----------
* sshd(8): always send any PAM account messages. If the PAM account
stack returns any messages, always send them to the user and not
just if the check succeeds. bz#2049
* Implement some backwards compatibility for libfido2 libraries
older than 1.5.0. Note that use of an older library will result
in the loss of certain features including resident key support,
PIN support and support for multiple attached tokens.
* configure fixes for XCode 12
* gnome-ssh-askpass3: ensure the "close" button is not focused by
default for SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT=none prompts. Avoids space/enter
accidentally dismissing FIDO touch notifications.
* gnome-ssh-askpass3: allow some control over textarea colour via
$GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_FG_COLOR and $GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_BG_COLOR
environment variables.
* sshd(8): document another PAM spec problem in a frustrated comment
* sshd(8): support NetBSD's utmpx.ut_ss address field. bz#960
* Add the ssh-sk-helper binary and its manpage to the RPM spec file
* Detect the Frankenstein monster of Linux/X32 and allow the sandbox
to function there. bz#3085

Everything except external/apache2/llvm/dist/llvm/cmake/config.guess
is patched, which is under vendor tag and cannot be modified. I expect
that this file is not actually used as we use hand-crafted version of
configure script instead of cmake for building LLVM.
Note that external/apache2/llvm/autoconf/autoconf/config.guess has
already been committed on Oct. 20, but commit message disappeared as
cvs aborted due to "permission denied" when trying to modify the file
mentioned above. Sorry for confusing you.
Also note that GMP uses its own config.guess Patch for
external/lgpl3/gmp/dist/config.guess is provided by ryo@. Thanks!
Fix ssh-keygen(1) on aarch64eb. Also, all tests in tests/crypto pass
with this change.
As martin pointed out when this macro was defined for sparc64,

this code seems broken on LP64BE architectures.
At the moment, mips64eb is not affected since only N32 is supported as
userland. Also, we do not support powerpc64 (eb) yet. But we may need to
take care of them in future.
Update comment; FPU emulation seems to work just fine now. However,
FPU-optimized code should still be avoided for better performance,
if FPU is not present.
openssl fails on FPU emulation for powerpc
When machdep.fpu_present sysctl variable can be retrieved, and
its value is zero, avoid using FPU arithmetic.
FPU is absent and emulated by kernel in that case, and calculation
results are not correct in bit-to-bit precision.
This behavior should be useful even if we could fix FPU emulation;
it is much faster to skip FPU arithmetic in general, rather than
relying upon emulation by kernel via illegal instruction handler.
instead (dot-asm:
So that both assembly modules export SHA3_absorb_vsx... Either way,
it makes lesser sense to deploy vector keccak1600p8-ppc.pl, because
benefits are not that clear. It's only nominally faster than scalar
module on POWER8 but significantly slower on POWER9. Because POWER9
is better equipped to handle non-vector code. On related note,
there is version optimized for little-endian, as well as 32-bit
version. [And since MIPS was mentioned, there is even MIPS module...]
