Change logs for openssh source package in Lucid

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu7.1) lucid-security; urgency=medium
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: AcceptEnv wildcard environment restrictions bypass
        - debian/patches/CVE-2014-2532.patch: don't allow invalid chars in
          session.c.
        - CVE-2014-2532

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu7) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      [ Clint Byrum ]
      * debian/openssh-server.ssh.init: Adding upstart awareness that will
        call /lib/init/upstart-job when script is run outside of a chroot.
        While this fixes LP: #531912, the change should be reverted when
        upstart gains chroot session support.
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Only do the above if /etc/init/ssh.conf still exists, since apparently
        some people have been removing it.

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu6) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Stop Upstart job on runlevel [!2345] rather than just S, since
        /etc/init.d/sendsigs no longer kills jobs under Upstart's control
        (thanks, Rob Donovan; LP: #603363).

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu5) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * debian/openssh-server.ssh.upstart: drop 'expect fork' and run sshd
        with -D to avoid losing track on reload (LP: #687535)

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Backport from trunk:
        - Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
          /usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; LP: #582251).  xauth no
          longer depends on x11-common, so we're no longer guaranteed to have
          the /usr/bin/X11 symlink available.

      * Fix syntax error in openssh-server apport hook (LP: #534365).

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Always set child processes' OOM adjustment to 0, since Upstart will have
        set sshd's OOM adjustment on startup and so simply restoring the startup
        value won't work (LP: #293000).  Thanks to Karsten Suehring for
        analysis.
      * Limit automatic respawning to 10 times in 5 seconds (thanks to Fumihito
        YOSHIDA for the suggestion; LP: #533352).

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-3ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
        - Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests; they
          take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in
          security updates has covered most affected systems now.
        - Convert to Upstart.  The init script is still here for the benefit of
          people running sshd in chroots.
        - Install apport hook.
    
    openssh (1:5.3p1-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt).
      * Update README.source to match, and add a 'quilt-setup' target to
        debian/rules for the benefit of those checking out the package from
        revision control.
      * All patches are now maintained separately and tagged according to DEP-3.
      * Add GSSAPIStoreCredentialsOnRekey to 'sshd -T' configuration dump.
      * Remove documentation of building for Debian 3.0 in README.Debian.
        Support for this was removed in 1:4.7p1-2.
      * Remove obsolete header from README.Debian dating from when people
        expected non-free SSH.
      * Update copyright years for GSSAPI patch.
    
    openssh (1:5.3p1-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Link with -Wl,--as-needed (closes: #560155).
      * Install upstream sshd_config as an example (closes: #415008).
      * Use dh_lintian.
      * Honour DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.

      [ Chuck Short ]
      * Install apport hook; part of the server-lucid-apport-hooks
        specification.

  • openssh (1:5.3p1-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
        - Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests; they
          take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in
          security updates has covered most affected systems now.

          people running sshd in chroots.
    
    openssh (1:5.3p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release.
      * Update to GSSAPI patch from
        http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.3p1-gsskex-all-20100124.patch.
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Do not fall back to adding keys without contraints (ssh-add -c / -t
          ...) when the agent refuses the constrained add request. This was a
          useful migration measure back in 2002 when constraints were new, but
          just adds risk now (LP: #209447).
      * Drop change from 1:3.8p1-3 to avoid setresuid() and setresgid() system
        calls.  This only applied to Linux 2.2, which it's no longer feasible to
        run anyway (see 1:5.2p1-2 changelog).

  • openssh (1:5.2p1-2ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:

        - Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests; they
          take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in

    openssh (1:5.2p1-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Backport from upstream:
        - After sshd receives a SIGHUP, ignore subsequent HUPs while sshd
          re-execs itself.  Prevents two HUPs in quick succession from resulting
          in sshd dying (LP: #497781).
        - Output a debug if we can't open an existing keyfile (LP: #505301).
      * Use host compiler for ssh-askpass-gnome when cross-compiling.
      * Don't run tests when cross-compiling.
      * Drop change from 1:3.6.1p2-5 to disable cmsg_type check for file
        descriptor passing when running on Linux 2.0.  The previous stable
        release of Debian dropped support for Linux 2.4, let alone 2.0, so this
        very likely has no remaining users depending on it.
    
      [ Kees Cook ]
      * Implement DebianBanner server configuration flag that can be set to "no"
        to allow sshd to run without the Debian-specific extra version in the
        initial protocol handshake (closes: #562048).

      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
        - Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests; they
          take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in
          security updates has covered most affected systems now.
      * Convert to Upstart. The init script is still here for the benefit of
        people running sshd in chroots. Note that the Upstart job does not
        support /etc/default/ssh, because it's much more straightforward to edit
        the job (/etc/init/ssh.conf) than it was to edit the init script.
    
    openssh (1:5.2p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release (closes: #536182). Yes, I know 5.3p1 has been out
        for a while, but there's no GSSAPI patch available for it yet.
        - Change the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes and the
          revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are susceptible to
          CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".
        - Add countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style attacks against the
          SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon detection of an invalid
          packet length or Message Authentication Code, ssh/sshd will continue
          reading up to the maximum supported packet length rather than
          immediately terminating the connection. This eliminates most of the
          known differences in behaviour that leaked information about the
          plaintext of injected data which formed the basis of this attack
          (closes: #506115, LP: #379329).
        - ForceCommand directive now accepts commandline arguments for the
          internal-sftp server (closes: #524423, LP: #362511).
        - Add AllowAgentForwarding to available Match keywords list (closes:
          #540623).
        - Make ssh(1) send the correct channel number for
          SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS and SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE messages to
          avoid triggering 'Non-public channel' error messages on sshd(8) in
          openssh-5.1.
        - Avoid printing 'Non-public channel' warnings in sshd(8), since the
          ssh(1) has sent incorrect channel numbers since ~2004 (this reverts a
          behaviour introduced in openssh-5.1; closes: #496017).
        - Disable nonfunctional ssh(1) ~C escape handler in multiplex slave
          connections (closes: #507541).
        - Fix "whitepsace" typo in ssh_config(5) (closes: #514313, LP: #303835).
      * Update to GSSAPI patch from
        http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh-5.2p1-gsskex-all-20090726.patch,
        including cascading credentials support (LP: #416958).
      * Use x11.pc when compiling/linking gnome-ssh-askpass2 (closes: #555951).
      * Moved to bzr.debian.org; add Vcs-Bzr and Vcs-Browser control fields.
      * Add debian/README.source with instructions on bzr handling.
      * Make ChrootDirectory work with SELinux (thanks, Russell Coker; closes:
        #556644).
      * Initialise sc to NULL in ssh_selinux_getctxbyname (thanks, Václav Ovsík;
        closes: #498684).
      * Don't duplicate backslashes when displaying server banner (thanks,
        Michał Górny; closes: #505378, LP: #425346).
      * Use hardening-includes for hardening logic (thanks, Kees Cook; closes:
        #561887).
      * Update OpenSSH FAQ to revision 1.110.
      * Remove ssh/new_config, only needed for direct upgrades from potato which
        are no longer particularly feasible anyway (closes: #420682).
      * Cope with insserv reordering of init script links.
      * Remove init script stop link in rc1, as killprocs handles it already.
      * Adjust short descriptions to avoid relying on previous experience with
        rsh, based on suggestions from Reuben Thomas (closes: #512198).
      * Remove manual page references to login.conf, which aren't applicable on
        non-BSD systems (closes: #154434).
      * Remove/adjust manual page references to BSD-specific /etc/rc (closes:
        #513417).
      * Refer to sshd_config(5) rather than sshd(8) in postinst-written
        /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and add UsePAM commentary from upstream-shipped
        configuration file (closes: #415008, although unfortunately this will
        only be conveniently visible on new installations).
      * Include URL to OpenBSD's ssl(8) in ssh(1), since I don't see a better
        source for the same information among Debian's manual pages (closes:
        #530692, LP: #456660).

        done by the Ubuntu compiler (Debian bug 561887).

      * Build-depend on libselinux1-dev on sh4 too (thanks, Nobuhiro Iwamatsu;

      * Fix grammar in if-up script (closes: #549128).
