- update to 8.4p1:
Security
========
* ssh-agent(1): restrict ssh-agent from signing web challenges for
FIDO/U2F keys.
* ssh-keygen(1): Enable FIDO 2.1 credProtect extension when generating
a FIDO resident key.
* 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.
New Features
------------
* 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

- Fix build breakage caused by missing security key objects:
+ Modify openssh-7.7p1-cavstest-ctr.patch.
+ Modify openssh-7.7p1-cavstest-kdf.patch.
+ Add openssh-link-with-sk.patch.
- Add openssh-fips-ensure-approved-moduli.patch (bsc#1177939).
This ensures only approved DH parameters are used in FIPS mode.
- Add openssh-8.1p1-ed25519-use-openssl-rng.patch (bsc#1173799).
This uses OpenSSL's RAND_bytes() directly instead of the internal
ChaCha20-based implementation to obtain random bytes for Ed25519
curve computations. This is required for FIPS compliance. (forwarded request 849311 from hpjansson)

- Version update to 8.3p1:
= Potentially-incompatible changes
* sftp(1): reject an argument of "-1" in the same way as ssh(1) and
scp(1) do instead of accepting and silently ignoring it.
= New features
* sshd(8): make IgnoreRhosts a tri-state option: "yes" to ignore
rhosts/shosts, "no" allow rhosts/shosts or (new) "shosts-only"
to allow .shosts files but not .rhosts.
* sshd(8): allow the IgnoreRhosts directive to appear anywhere in a
sshd_config, not just before any Match blocks.
* ssh(1): add %TOKEN percent expansion for the LocalFoward and
RemoteForward keywords when used for Unix domain socket forwarding.
* all: allow loading public keys from the unencrypted envelope of a
private key file if no corresponding public key file is present.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): prefer to use chacha20 from libcrypto where
possible instead of the (slower) portable C implementation included
in OpenSSH.
* ssh-keygen(1): add ability to dump the contents of a binary key
revocation list via "ssh-keygen -lQf /path".
- Additional changes from 8.2p1 release:
= Potentially-incompatible changes
* ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa"
(RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures
(i.e. the client and server CASignatureAlgorithms option) and will
use the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm by default when the
ssh-keygen(1) CA signs new certificates.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): this release removes diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
from the default key exchange proposal for both the client and
server.
* ssh-keygen(1): the command-line options related to the generation

- Add openssh-7.9p1-keygen-preserve-perms.patch (bsc#1150574).
This attempts to preserve the permissions of any existing
known_hosts file when modified by ssh-keygen (for instance,
with -R).
- Add patch from upstream openssh-7.9p1-revert-new-qos-defaults.patch
- Run 'ssh-keygen -A' on startup only if SSHD_AUTO_KEYGEN="yes"
in /etc/sysconfig/ssh. This is set to "yes" by default, but
can be changed by the system administrator (bsc#1139089).

This attempts to preserve the permissions of any existing
known_hosts file when modified by ssh-keygen (for instance,

- Version update to 8.1p1:
* ssh-keygen(1): when acting as a CA and signing certificates with
an RSA key, default to using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm.
Certificates signed by RSA keys will therefore be incompatible
with OpenSSH versions prior to 7.2 unless the default is
overridden (using "ssh-keygen -t ssh-rsa -s ...").
* ssh(1): Allow %n to be expanded in ProxyCommand strings
* ssh(1), sshd(8): Allow prepending a list of algorithms to the
default set by starting the list with the '^' character, E.g.
"HostKeyAlgorithms ^ssh-ed25519"
* ssh-keygen(1): add an experimental lightweight signature and
verification ability. Signatures may be made using regular ssh keys
held on disk or stored in a ssh-agent and verified against an
authorized_keys-like list of allowed keys. Signatures embed a
namespace that prevents confusion and attacks between different

authorized_keys-like list of allowed keys. Signatures embed a
namespace that prevents confusion and attacks between different
usage domains (e.g. files vs email).
* ssh-keygen(1): print key comment when extracting public key from a
private key.
* ssh-keygen(1): accept the verbose flag when searching for host keys
in known hosts (i.e. "ssh-keygen -vF host") to print the matching
host's random-art signature too.
* All: support PKCS8 as an optional format for storage of private
keys to disk. The OpenSSH native key format remains the default,
but PKCS8 is a superior format to PEM if interoperability with
non-OpenSSH software is required, as it may use a less insecure
key derivation function than PEM's.
- Additional changes from 8.0p1 release:
* scp(1): Add "-T" flag to disable client-side filtering of
server file list.
* sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax.
