Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
*) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
'enable-buildtest-c++'.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
[Patrick Steuer]
*) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
[Kurt Roeckx]
*) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
[Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
*) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
[Matt Caswell]
*) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
[Lorinczy Zsigmond]
*) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
[Bernd Edlinger]
*) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
(IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
additional leading bytes are ignored.
It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
messages with a reused nonce.
Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
Greef of Ronomon.
(CVE-2019-1543)
[Matt Caswell]
*) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
[Paul Yang]
Security
========
This release contains mitigation for a weakness in the scp(1) tool
and protocol (CVE-2019-6111): when copying files from a remote system
to a local directory, scp(1) did not verify that the filenames that
the server sent matched those requested by the client. This could
allow a hostile server to create or clobber unexpected local files
with attacker-controlled content.
This release adds client-side checking that the filenames sent from
the server match the command-line request,
The scp protocol is outdated, inflexible and not readily fixed. We
recommend the use of more modern protocols like sftp and rsync for
file transfer instead.
Potentially-incompatible changes
================================
This release includes a number of changes that may affect existing
configurations:
* scp(1): Relating to the above changes to scp(1); the scp protocol
relies on the remote shell for wildcard expansion, so there is no
infallible way for the client's wildcard matching to perfectly
reflect the server's. If there is a difference between client and
server wildcard expansion, the client may refuse files from the
server. For this reason, we have provided a new "-T" flag to scp
that disables these client-side checks at the risk of
reintroducing the attack described above.
* sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax. Slash-
separated host/port was added in 2001 as an alternative to
host:port syntax for the benefit of IPv6 users. These days there
are establised standards for this like [::1]:22 and the slash
syntax is easily mistaken for CIDR notation, which OpenSSH
supports for some things. Remove the slash notation from
ListenAddress and PermitOpen; bz#2335
Changes since OpenSSH 7.9
=========================
This release is focused on new features and internal refactoring.
New Features
------------
* ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-add(1): Add support for ECDSA keys in
PKCS#11 tokens.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): Add experimental quantum-computing resistant
key exchange method, based on a combination of Streamlined NTRU
Prime 4591^761 and X25519.
* ssh-keygen(1): Increase the default RSA key size to 3072 bits,
following NIST Special Publication 800-57's guidance for a
128-bit equivalent symmetric security level.
* ssh(1): Allow "PKCS11Provider=none" to override later instances of
the PKCS11Provider directive in ssh_config; bz#2974
* sshd(8): Add a log message for situations where a connection is
dropped for attempting to run a command but a sshd_config
ForceCommand=internal-sftp restriction is in effect; bz#2960
* ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept
the key fingerprint as a synonym for "yes". This allows the user
to paste a fingerprint obtained out of band at the prompt and
have the client do the comparison for you.
* ssh-keygen(1): When signing multiple certificates on a single
command-line invocation, allow automatically incrementing the
certificate serial number.
* scp(1), sftp(1): Accept -J option as an alias to ProxyJump on
the scp and sftp command-lines.
* ssh-agent(1), ssh-pkcs11-helper(8), ssh-add(1): Accept "-v"
command-line flags to increase the verbosity of output; pass
verbose flags though to subprocesses, such as ssh-pkcs11-helper
started from ssh-agent.
* ssh-add(1): Add a "-T" option to allowing testing whether keys in
an agent are usable by performing a signature and a verification.
* sftp-server(8): Add a "lsetstat@openssh.com" protocol extension
that replicates the functionality of the existing SSH2_FXP_SETSTAT
operation but does not follow symlinks. bz#2067
* sftp(1): Add "-h" flag to chown/chgrp/chmod commands to request
they do not follow symlinks.
* sshd(8): Expose $SSH_CONNECTION in the PAM environment. This makes
the connection 4-tuple available to PAM modules that wish to use
it in decision-making. bz#2741
* sshd(8): Add a ssh_config "Match final" predicate Matches in same
pass as "Match canonical" but doesn't require hostname
canonicalisation be enabled. bz#2906
* sftp(1): Support a prefix of '@' to suppress echo of sftp batch
commands; bz#2926
* ssh-keygen(1): When printing certificate contents using
"ssh-keygen -Lf /path/certificate", include the algorithm that
the CA used to sign the cert.
Bugfixes
--------
* sshd(8): Fix authentication failures when sshd_config contains
"AuthenticationMethods any" inside a Match block that overrides
a more restrictive default.
* sshd(8): Avoid sending duplicate keepalives when ClientAliveCount
is enabled.
* sshd(8): Fix two race conditions related to SIGHUP daemon restart.
Remnant file descriptors in recently-forked child processes could
block the parent sshd's attempt to listen(2) to the configured
addresses. Also, the restarting parent sshd could exit before any
child processes that were awaiting their re-execution state had
completed reading it, leaving them in a fallback path.
* ssh(1): Fix stdout potentially being redirected to /dev/null when
ProxyCommand=- was in use.
* sshd(8): Avoid sending SIGPIPE to child processes if they attempt
to write to stderr after their parent processes have exited;
bz#2071
* ssh(1): Fix bad interaction between the ssh_config ConnectTimeout
and ConnectionAttempts directives - connection attempts after the
first were ignoring the requested timeout; bz#2918
* ssh-keyscan(1): Return a non-zero exit status if no keys were
found; bz#2903
* scp(1): Sanitize scp filenames to allow UTF-8 characters without
terminal control sequences; bz#2434
* sshd(8): Fix confusion between ClientAliveInterval and time-based
RekeyLimit that could cause connections to be incorrectly closed.
bz#2757
* ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Correct some bugs in PKCS#11 token PIN
handling at initial token login. The attempt to read the PIN
could be skipped in some cases, particularly on devices with
integrated PIN readers. This would lead to an inability to
retrieve keys from these tokens. bz#2652
* ssh(1), ssh-add(1): Support keys on PKCS#11 tokens that set the
CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE flag by requring a fresh login after the
C_SignInit operation. bz#2638
* ssh(1): Improve documentation for ProxyJump/-J, clarifying that
local configuration does not apply to jump hosts.
* ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual - ssh-keygen -e only writes
public keys, not private.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): be more strict in processing protocol banners,
allowing \r characters only immediately before \n.
* Various: fix a number of memory leaks, including bz#2942 and
bz#2938
* scp(1), sftp(1): fix calculation of initial bandwidth limits.
Account for bytes written before the timer starts and adjust the
schedule on which recalculations are performed. Avoids an initial
burst of traffic and yields more accurate bandwidth limits;
bz#2927
* sshd(8): Only consider the ext-info-c extension during the initial
key eschange. It shouldn't be sent in subsequent ones, but if it
is present we should ignore it. This prevents sshd from sending a
SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO for REKEX for buggy these clients. bz#2929
* ssh-keygen(1): Clarify manual that ssh-keygen -F (find host in
authorized_keys) and -R (remove host from authorized_keys) options
may accept either a bare hostname or a [hostname]:port combo.
bz#2935
* ssh(1): Don't attempt to connect to empty SSH_AUTH_SOCK; bz#2936
* sshd(8): Silence error messages when sshd fails to load some of
the default host keys. Failure to load an explicitly-configured
hostkey is still an error, and failure to load any host key is
still fatal. pr/103
* ssh(1): Redirect stderr of ProxyCommands to /dev/null when ssh is
started with ControlPersist; prevents random ProxyCommand output
from interfering with session output.
* ssh(1): The ssh client was keeping a redundant ssh-agent socket
(leftover from authentication) around for the life of the
connection; bz#2912
* sshd(8): Fix bug in HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes and
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes options. If only RSA-SHA2 siganture types
were specified, then authentication would always fail for RSA keys
as the monitor checks only the base key (not the signature
algorithm) type against *AcceptedKeyTypes. bz#2746
* ssh(1): Request correct signature types from ssh-agent when
certificate keys and RSA-SHA2 signatures are in use.
Portability
-----------
* sshd(8): On Cygwin, run as SYSTEM where possible, using S4U for
token creation if it supports MsV1_0 S4U Logon.
* sshd(8): On Cygwin, use custom user/group matching code that
respects the OS' behaviour of case-insensitive matching.
* sshd(8): Don't set $MAIL if UsePAM=yes as PAM typically specifies
the user environment if it's enabled; bz#2937
* sshd(8) Cygwin: Change service name to cygsshd to avoid collision
with Microsoft's OpenSSH port.
* Allow building against OpenSSL -dev (3.x)
* Fix a number of build problems against version configurations and
versions of OpenSSL. Including bz#2931 and bz#2921
* Improve warnings in cygwin service setup. bz#2922
* Remove hardcoded service name in cygwin setup. bz#2922
not 100% sure this is right but my build works now. here's what i did:
% cd crypto/external/bsd/openssl/lib/libcrypto/arch/powerpc
% make regen
after checking that the openssl generator calling code had not change
(but the relevant .pl file had.)
*) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
to affine coordinates.
[Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
*) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
applications.
[Matt Caswell]
*) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
*) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
[Bernd Edlinger]
*) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
[Richard Levitte]
*) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.

The 601 is different than other powerpcs. It doesn't have a time
base register (TBR), but a real time clock (RTC) so it needs to
use different calls like mfrtcu/mfrtcl instead.
1. sets needs to be fixed
2. need to decide if I am going to add engine.so.MAJOR or use engine.so
like OpenSSL wants
3. padlock is MD (x86) needs asm to be added, and conditionally built
*) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
algorithm to recover the private key.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
(CVE-2018-0734)
[Paul Dale]
*) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
algorithm to recover the private key.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
(CVE-2018-0735)
[Paul Dale]
*) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
are retained for backwards compatibility.
[Antoine Salon]
*) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
provided by the application.
The code already knows how to handle it, but it assumes anyone who uses
GCC or clang might resolve the getauxval function to something eventually.
The only time we will expose getauxval is if a package tries to substitute
getauxval too, and then code will start having mysterious failures.
getauxval is purely a linux function (as far as I can see), so limit it to
that.
