- Update to openssh 9.3p1
* No changes for askpass, see main package changelog for
details
- Update to openssh 9.3p1:
= Security
* ssh-add(1): when adding smartcard keys to ssh-agent(1) with the
per-hop destination constraints (ssh-add -h ...) added in
OpenSSH 8.9, a logic error prevented the constraints from being
communicated to the agent. This resulted in the keys being added
without constraints. The common cases of non-smartcard keys and
keys without destination constraints are unaffected. This
problem was reported by Luci Stanescu.
* ssh(1): Portable OpenSSH provides an implementation of the
getrrsetbyname(3) function if the standard library does not
provide it, for use by the VerifyHostKeyDNS feature. A
specifically crafted DNS response could cause this function to
perform an out-of-bounds read of adjacent stack data, but this
condition does not appear to be exploitable beyond denial-of-
service to the ssh(1) client.
The getrrsetbyname(3) replacement is only included if the
system's standard library lacks this function and portable
OpenSSH was not compiled with the ldns library (--with-ldns).
getrrsetbyname(3) is only invoked if using VerifyHostKeyDNS to
fetch SSHFP records. This problem was found by the Coverity
static analyzer.
= New features
* ssh-keygen(1), ssh-keyscan(1): accept -Ohashalg=sha1|sha256
when outputting SSHFP fingerprints to allow algorithm
selection. bz3493

There are following changes in default settings of ssh client and server:
* Accepting and sending of locale environment variables in protocol 2 is
enabled.
* PAM authentication is enabled and mostly even required, do not turn it off.
* DSA authentication is enabled by default for maximum compatibility.
NOTE: do not use DSA authentication since it is being phased out for a reason
- the size of DSA keys is limited by the standard to 1024 bits which cannot
be considered safe any more.
* Accepting all RFC4419 specified DH group parameters. See KexDHMin in
ssh_config and sshd_config manual pages.
