- Update of the underlying OpenSSH to 6.6p1
- update to 6.6p1
Security:
* sshd(8): when using environment passing with a sshd_config(5)
AcceptEnv pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH prior to 6.6 could
be tricked into accepting any enviornment variable that
contains the characters before the wildcard character.
Features since 6.5p1:
* ssh(1), sshd(8): removal of the J-PAKE authentication code,
which was experimental, never enabled and has been
unmaintained for some time.
* ssh(1): skip 'exec' clauses other clauses predicates failed
to match while processing Match blocks.
* ssh(1): if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results
in the destination hostname being changed, then re-parse
ssh_config(5) files using the new destination hostname. This
gives 'Host' and 'Match' directives that use the expanded
hostname a chance to be applied.
Bugfixes:
* ssh(1): avoid spurious "getsockname failed: Bad file
descriptor" in ssh -W. bz#2200, debian#738692
* sshd(8): allow the shutdown(2) syscall in seccomp-bpf and
systrace sandbox modes, as it is reachable if the connection
is terminated during the pre-auth phase.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): fix unsigned overflow that in SSH protocol 1
bignum parsing. Minimum key length checks render this bug
unexploitable to compromise SSH 1 sessions.
* sshd_config(5): clarify behaviour of a keyword that appears
in multiple matching Match blocks. bz#2184

- Update of the underlying OpenSSH to 6.5p1
- Update to 6.5p1
Features since 6.4p1:
* ssh(1), sshd(8): support for key exchange using ECDH in
Daniel Bernstein's Curve25519; default when both the client
and server support it.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): support for Ed25519 as a public key type fo
rboth server and client. Ed25519 is an EC signature offering
better security than ECDSA and DSA and good performance.
* Add a new private key format that uses a bcrypt KDF to better
protect keys at rest. Used unconditionally for Ed25519 keys,
on demand for other key types via the -o ssh-keygen(1)
option. Intended to become default in the near future.
Details documented in PROTOCOL.key.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): new transport cipher
"chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" combining Daniel Bernstein's
ChaCha20 stream cipher and Poly1305 MAC to build an
authenticated encryption mode. Details documented
PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): refuse RSA keys from old proprietary clients
and servers that use the obsolete RSA+MD5 signature scheme.
It will still be possible to connect with these
clients/servers but only DSA keys will be accepted, and
OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a future release.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): refuse old proprietary clients and servers
that use a weaker key exchange hash calculation.
* ssh(1): increase the size of the Diffie-Hellman groups
requested for each symmetric key size. New values from NIST
Special Publication 800-57 with the upper limit specified by (forwarded request 222365 from pcerny)

- Update of the underlying OpenSSH to 6.4p1
- Update to 6.4p1
Features since 6.2p2:
* ssh-agent(1) support in sshd(8); allows encrypted hostkeys, or
hostkeys on smartcards.
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): allow optional time-based rekeying via a
second argument to the existing RekeyLimit option. RekeyLimit
is now supported in sshd_config as well as on the client.
* sshd(8): standardise logging of information during user
authentication.
* The presented key/cert and the remote username (if available)
is now logged in the authentication success/failure message on
the same log line as the local username, remote host/port and
protocol in use. Certificates contents and the key
fingerprint of the signing CA are logged too.
* ssh(1) ability to query what cryptographic algorithms are
supported in the binary.
* ssh(1): ProxyCommand=- for cases where stdin and stdout
already point to the proxy.
* ssh(1): allow IdentityFile=none
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): -E option to append debugging logs to a
specified file instead of stderr or syslog.
* sftp(1): support resuming partial downloads with the "reget"
command and on the sftp commandline or on the "get"
commandline with the "-a" (append) option.
* ssh(1): "IgnoreUnknown" configuration option to selectively
suppress errors arising from unknown configuration directives.
* sshd(8): support for submethods to be appended to required
authentication methods listed via AuthenticationMethods.

- Updated to 6.1p1, a bugfix release
Features:
* sshd(8): This release turns on pre-auth sandboxing sshd by default for
new installs, by setting UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox in sshd_config.
* ssh-keygen(1): Add options to specify starting line number and number of
lines to process when screening moduli candidates, allowing processing
of different parts of a candidate moduli file in parallel
* sshd(8): The Match directive now supports matching on the local (listen)
address and port upon which the incoming connection was received via
LocalAddress and LocalPort clauses.
* sshd(8): Extend sshd_config Match directive to allow setting AcceptEnv
and {Allow,Deny}{Users,Groups}
* Add support for RFC6594 SSHFP DNS records for ECDSA key types. bz#1978
* ssh-keygen(1): Allow conversion of RSA1 keys to public PEM and PKCS8
* sshd(8): Allow the sshd_config PermitOpen directive to accept "none" as
an argument to refuse all port-forwarding requests.
* sshd(8): Support "none" as an argument for AuthorizedPrincipalsFile
* ssh-keyscan(1): Look for ECDSA keys by default. bz#1971
* sshd(8): Add "VersionAddendum" to sshd_config to allow server operators
to append some arbitrary text to the server SSH protocol banner.
Bugfixes:
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): Don't spin in accept() in situations of file
descriptor exhaustion. Instead back off for a while.
* ssh(1)/sshd(8): Remove hmac-sha2-256-96 and hmac-sha2-512-96 MACs as
they were removed from the specification. bz#2023,
* sshd(8): Handle long comments in config files better. bz#2025
* ssh(1): Delay setting tty_flag so RequestTTY options are correctly
picked up. bz#1995
* sshd(8): Fix handling of /etc/nologin incorrectly being applied to root
on platforms that use login_cap.
