openssh/openssh-7.6p1-disable_short_DH_parameters.patch
Petr Cerny d83100ae13 Accepting request 539322 from home:pcerny:factory
- upgrade to 7.6p1
  see main package changelog for details

- Update to vanilla 7.6p1
  Most important changes (more details below):
  * complete removal of the ancient SSHv1 protocol
  * sshd(8) cannot run without privilege separation
  * removal of suport for arcfourm blowfish and CAST ciphers
    and RIPE-MD160 HMAC
  * refuse RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits
  Distilled upstream log:
- OpenSSH 7.3
  ---- Security
  * sshd(8): Mitigate a potential denial-of-service attack
    against the system's crypt(3) function via sshd(8). An
    attacker could send very long passwords that would cause
    excessive CPU use in crypt(3). sshd(8) now refuses to accept
    password authentication requests of length greater than 1024
    characters. Independently reported by Tomas Kuthan (Oracle),
    Andres Rojas and Javier Nieto.
  * sshd(8): Mitigate timing differences in password
    authentication that could be used to discern valid from
    invalid account names when long passwords were sent and
    particular password hashing algorithms are in use on the
    server. CVE-2016-6210, reported by EddieEzra.Harari at
    verint.com
  * ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix observable timing weakness in the CBC
    padding oracle countermeasures. Reported by Jean Paul
    Degabriele, Kenny Paterson, Torben Hansen and Martin
    Albrecht. Note that CBC ciphers are disabled by default and

# HG changeset patch
# Parent a5b0f249f564de9c9efd023c6430f607d9861acd
Raise minimal size of DH group parameters to 2048 bits like upstream did in
7.2. 1024b values are believed to be in breaking range for state adversaries
and the default moduli shipped with openssh have been around long enough to
make it more likely for them to be broken.
Also provide an option that allows the client to accept shorter (RFC4419
compliant) parameters.
CVE-2015-4000 (LOGJAM)

The list of available key exchange algorithms may also be
obtained using "ssh -Q kex".
+ KexDHMin
+ Specifies the minimum accepted bit length of the DH group
+ parameter p.
+
+ As per RFC4419, this is 1024 bits, however this has increasingly
+ been seen as insecure, which prompted the change to 2048 bits.
+ Setting this option allows the client to accept parameters shorter
+ than the current minimum, down to the RFC specified 1024 bits.
+ Using this option may be needed when connecting to servers that
+ only know short DH group parameters.
+
+ Note, that while by default this option is set to 1024 to maintain
+ maximum backward compatibility, using it can severly impact
+ security and thus should be viewed as a temporary fix of last
+ resort and all efforts should be made to fix the (broken)
+ counterparty.
+
LocalCommand
Specifies a command to execute on the local machine after
successfully connecting to the server. The command string
extends to the end of the line, and is executed with the user's
