Full release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-10.1 Selected highlights from the release notes: Potentially-incompatible changes * ssh(1): add a warning when the connection negotiates a non-post quantum key agreement algorithm. * ssh(1), sshd(8): major changes to handling of DSCP marking/IPQoS * ssh(1), sshd(8): deprecate support for IPv4 type-of-service (ToS) keywords in the IPQoS configuration directive. * ssh-add(1): when adding certificates to an agent, set the expiry to the certificate expiry time plus a short (5 min) grace period. * ssh-agent(1), sshd(8): move agent listener sockets from /tmp to under ~/.ssh/agent for both ssh-agent(1) and forwarded sockets in sshd(8). Security * ssh(1): disallow control characters in usernames passed via the commandline or expanded using %-sequences from the configuration file, and disallow \0 characters in ssh:// URIs. New features * ssh(1), sshd(8): add SIGINFO handlers to log active channel and session information. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
Excerpts from the release notes: * ssh-agent(1): PKCS#11 modules must now be specified by their full paths. Previously dlopen(3) could search for them in system library directories. * ssh(1): allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W. * ssh(1): add support for configuration tags to ssh(1). This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding "Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same name. * ssh(1): add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to vary the effective client configuration based on network location. * ssh-agent(1): improve isolation between loaded PKCS#11 modules by running separate ssh-pkcs11-helpers for each loaded provider. * ssh-agent(1), ssh(1): improve defences against invalid PKCS#11 modules being loaded by checking that the requested module contains the required symbol before loading it. * ssh(1): don't incorrectly disable hostname canonicalization when CanonicalizeHostname=yes and ProxyJump was expicitly set to "none". bz3567 Full release notes at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.4 Relnotes: Yes Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
Revert to upstream's default. Using VerifyHostKeyDNS may depend on a trusted nameserver and network path. This reverts commit 83c6a5242c80160fff76fb85454938761645b0c4.

FreeBSD introduced VersionAddendum for the server as a local change in 2001 in commit 933ca70f8f88 and later extended it to the client in commit 9e2cbe04ff4f. In 2012 upstream added support for server VersionAddendum, in commit 23528816dc10. They do not support it for the client. The argument for supporting this in the client is not nearly as strong as for the server, so retire this option to reduce the scope of our local patch set. This also avoids some cases of conflicts in ssh_config during update, as a user's configuration would typically follow the commented-out default VersionAddendum value.

Some highlights:
* ssh(1), sshd(8): use the hybrid Streamlined NTRU Prime + x25519 key
exchange method by default ("sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com").
The NTRU algorithm is believed to resist attacks enabled by future
quantum computers and is paired with the X25519 ECDH key exchange
(the previous default) as a backstop against any weaknesses in
NTRU Prime that may be discovered in the future. The combination
ensures that the hybrid exchange offers at least as good security
as the status quo.
* sftp-server(8): support the "copy-data" extension to allow server-
side copying of files/data, following the design in
draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-extensions-00. bz2948
* sftp(1): add a "cp" command to allow the sftp client to perform
server-side file copies.
This commit excludes the scp(1) change to use the SFTP protocol by
default; that change will immediately follow.

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.9 Some highlights: * ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1): add a system for restricting forwarding and use of keys added to ssh-agent(1) * ssh(1), sshd(8): add the sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com hybrid ECDH/x25519 + Streamlined NTRU Prime post-quantum KEX to the default KEXAlgorithms list (after the ECDH methods but before the prime-group DH ones). The next release of OpenSSH is likely to make this key exchange the default method. * sshd(8), portable OpenSSH only: this release removes in-built support for MD5-hashed passwords. If you require these on your system then we recommend linking against libxcrypt or similar. Future deprecation notice ========================= A near-future release of OpenSSH will switch scp(1) from using the legacy scp/rcp protocol to using SFTP by default. Legacy scp/rcp performs wildcard expansion of remote filenames (e.g. "scp host:* .") through the remote shell. This has the side effect of requiring double quoting of shell meta-characters in file names included on scp(1) command-lines, otherwise they could be interpreted as shell commands on the remote side.

OpenSSH v8.8p1 was motivated primarily by a security update and deprecation of RSA/SHA1 signatures. It also has a few minor bug fixes. The security update was already applied to FreeBSD as an independent change, and the RSA/SHA1 deprecation is excluded from this commit but will immediately follow.

Some notable changes, from upstream's release notes: - sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax. - ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept the key fingerprint as a synonym for "yes". - ssh-keygen(1): when acting as a CA and signing certificates with an RSA key, default to using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm. - ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa" (RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures. - ssh-sk-helper(8): this is a new binary. It is used by the FIDO/U2F support to provide address-space isolation for token middleware libraries (including the internal one). - ssh(1): this release enables UpdateHostkeys by default subject to some conservative preconditions. - scp(1): this release changes the behaviour of remote to remote copies (e.g. "scp host-a:/path host-b:") to transfer through the local host by default. - scp(1): experimental support for transfers using the SFTP protocol as a replacement for the venerable SCP/RCP protocol that it has traditionally used. Additional integration work is needed to support FIDO/U2F in the base system. Deprecation Notice ------------------ OpenSSH will disable the ssh-rsa signature scheme by default in the next release.
