Subject: Announce: OpenSSH 9.3 released
OpenSSH 9.3 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at https://www.openssh.com/ shortly.
OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation and
includes sftp client and server support.
Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed
code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots or donated to the
project. More information on donations may be found at:
https://www.openssh.com/donations.html
Changes since OpenSSH 9.2
=========================
This release fixes a number of security bugs.
Security
========
This release contains fixes for a security problem and a memory
safety problem. The memory safety problem is not believed to be
exploitable, but we report most network-reachable memory faults as
security bugs.
* ssh-add(1): when adding smartcard keys to ssh-agent(1) with the
per-hop desination 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
* sshd(8): add a `sshd -G` option that parses and prints the
effective configuration without attempting to load private keys
and perform other checks. This allows usage of the option before
keys have been generated and for configuration evaluation and
verification by unprivileged users.
Bugfixes
--------
* scp(1), sftp(1): fix progressmeter corruption on wide displays;
bz3534
* ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1): use RSA/SHA256 when testing usability
of private keys as some systems are starting to disable RSA/SHA1
in libcrypto.
* sftp-server(8): fix a memory leak. GHPR363
* ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keyscan(1): remove vestigal protocol
compatibility code and simplify what's left.
* Fix a number of low-impact Coverity static analysis findings.
These include several reported via bz2687
* ssh_config(5), sshd_config(5): mention that some options are not
first-match-wins.
* Rework logging for the regression tests. Regression tests will now
capture separate logs for each ssh and sshd invocation in a test.
* ssh(1): make `ssh -Q CASignatureAlgorithms` work as the manpage
says it should; bz3532.
* ssh(1): ensure that there is a terminating newline when adding a
new entry to known_hosts; bz3529
Portability
-----------
* sshd(8): harden Linux seccomp sandbox. Move to an allowlist of
mmap(2), madvise(2) and futex(2) flags, removing some concerning
kernel attack surface.
* sshd(8): improve Linux seccomp-bpf sandbox for older systems;
bz3537
