- Version upgrade to 8.8p1
* No changes for askpass, see main package changelog for
details
- Version update to 8.8p1:
= Security
* sshd(8) from OpenSSH 6.2 through 8.7 failed to correctly initialise
supplemental groups when executing an AuthorizedKeysCommand or
AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand, where a AuthorizedKeysCommandUser or
AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser directive has been set to run the
command as a different user. Instead these commands would inherit
the groups that sshd(8) was started with.
Depending on system configuration, inherited groups may allow
AuthorizedKeysCommand/AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand helper programs to
gain unintended privilege.
Neither AuthorizedKeysCommand nor AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand are
enabled by default in sshd_config(5).
= Potentially-incompatible changes
* This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm
by default. This change has been made as the SHA-1 hash algorithm is
cryptographically broken, and it is possible to create chosen-prefix
hash collisions for <USD$50K.
For most users, this change should be invisible and there is
no need to replace ssh-rsa keys. OpenSSH has supported RFC8332
RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures since release 7.2 and existing ssh-rsa keys
will automatically use the stronger algorithm where possible.
Incompatibility is more likely when connecting to older SSH
implementations that have not been upgraded or have not closely tracked
improvements in the SSH protocol. For these cases, it may be necessary
to selectively re-enable RSA/SHA1 to allow connection and/or user

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. For more information on differences in SUSE OpenSSH package see README.FIPS
