  • openssh (1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1.4) feisty-security; urgency=low
    
      * Add a FILES section to ssh-vulnkey(1) (thanks, Hugh Daniel).
      * ssh-vulnkey handles options in authorized_keys (LP: #230029), and treats
        # as introducing a comment even if it is preceded by whitespace (thanks
        Colin Watson).

  • openssh (1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1.3) feisty-security; urgency=low
    
      * Mitigate OpenSSL security vulnerability thank to Colin Watson:
        - Add key blacklisting support. Keys listed in
          /etc/ssh/blacklist.TYPE-LENGTH will be rejected for authentication by
          sshd, unless "PermitBlacklistedKeys yes" is set in
          /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
        - Add a new program, ssh-vulnkey, which can be used to check keys
          against these blacklists.
        - Depend on openssh-blacklist.
        - Force dependencies on libssl0.9.8 / libcrypto0.9.8-udeb to at least
          0.9.8c-4ubuntu0.3.
        - Automatically regenerate known-compromised host keys, with a
          critical-priority debconf note. (I regret that there was no time to
          gather translations.)
      * added README.compromised-keys thanks to Colin Watson

      * SECURITY UPDATE: X11 forward hijacking via alternate address families.
      * channels.c: upstream fixes, patched inline.  Thanks to Nicolas Valcarcel
        (LP: #210175).

  • openssh (1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1.1) feisty-security; urgency=low
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: trusted cookie leak when untrusted cookie cannot be
        generated.
      * clientloop.c: Applied patch according to openssh upstream (LP: #162171),
        thanks to Stephan Hermann.

  • openssh (1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to the default path.
        - Use LSB init script functions.
        - Increase MAX_SESSIONS to 64.
        - Remove stop links from rc0 and rc6.
      * Build position-independent executables (only for debs, not for udebs) to
        take advantage of address space layout randomisation (thanks, Kees
        Cook).
      * Set Maintainer to me.
    
    openssh (1:4.3p2-8) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Vincent Untz ]
      * Give the ssh-askpass-gnome window a default icon; remove unnecessary
        icon extension from .desktop file (closes:
        https://launchpad.net/bugs/27152).
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Drop versioning on ssh/ssh-krb5 Replaces, as otherwise it isn't
        sufficient to replace conffiles (closes: #402804).
      * Make GSSAPICleanupCreds a compatibility alias for
        GSSAPICleanupCredentials. Mark GSSUseSessionCCache and
        GSSAPIUseSessionCredCache as known-but-unsupported options, and migrate
        away from them on upgrade.
      * It turns out that the people who told me that removing a conffile in the
        preinst was sufficient to have dpkg replace it without prompting when
        moving a conffile between packages were very much mistaken. As far as I
        can tell, the only way to do this reliably is to write out the desired
        new text of the conffile in the preinst. This is gross, and requires
        shipping the text of all conffiles in the preinst too, but there's
        nothing for it. Fortunately this nonsense is only required for smooth
        upgrades from sarge.
      * debconf template translations:
        - Add Romanian (thanks, Stan Ioan-Eugen; closes: #403528).

  • openssh (1:4.3p2-7ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to the default path.
        - Use LSB init script functions.
        - Increase MAX_SESSIONS to 64.
        - Remove stop links from rc0 and rc6.
    
    openssh (1:4.3p2-7) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Ignore errors from usermod when changing sshd's shell, since it will
        fail if the sshd user is not local (closes: #398436).
      * Remove version control tags from /etc/ssh/moduli and /etc/ssh/ssh_config
        to avoid unnecessary conffile resolution steps for administrators
        (thanks, Jari Aalto; closes: #335259).
      * Fix quoting error in configure.ac and regenerate configure (thanks, Ben
        Pfaff; closes: #391248).
      * When installing openssh-client or openssh-server from scratch, remove
        any unchanged conffiles from the pre-split ssh package to work around a
        bug in sarge's dpkg (thanks, Justin Pryzby and others; closes: #335276).
    
      [ Russ Allbery ]
      * Create transitional ssh-krb5 package which enables GSSAPI configuration
        in sshd_config (closes: #390986).
      * Default client to attempting GSSAPI authentication.
      * Remove obsolete GSSAPINoMICAuthentication from sshd_config if it's
        found.
      * Add ssh -K option, the converse of -k, to enable GSSAPI credential
        delegation (closes: #401483).

  • openssh (1:4.3p2-6ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin to the default path.
        - Use LSB init script functions.
        - Increase MAX_SESSIONS to 64.
        - Remove stop links from rc0 and rc6.
    
    openssh (1:4.3p2-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Acknowledge NMU (thanks, Manoj; closes: #394795).
      * Backport from 4.5p1:
        - Fix a bug in the sshd privilege separation monitor that weakened its
          verification of successful authentication. This bug is not known to be
          exploitable in the absence of additional vulnerabilities.
      * openssh-server Suggests: molly-guard (closes: #395473).
      * debconf template translations:
        - Update German (thanks, Helge Kreutzmann; closes: #395947).
    
    openssh (1:4.3p2-5.1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * NMU to update SELinux patch, bringing it in line with current selinux
        releases.  The patch for this NMU is simply the Bug#394795 patch,
        and no other changes.                       (closes: #394795)

      * Resynchronise with Debian.
    
    openssh (1:4.3p2-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Remove ssh/insecure_telnetd check altogether (closes: #391081).
      * debconf template translations:
        - Update Danish (thanks, Claus Hindsgaul; closes: #390612).
