Name : openssh Product : Fedora 19 Version : 6.2p2 Release : 6.fc19 URL : http://www.openssh.com/portable.html Summary : An open source implementation of SSH protocol versions 1 and 2 Description : SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing commands on a remote machine. SSH is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security and features. This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server. To make this package useful, you should also install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: sshd-keygen now generates also ECDSA keys if AUTOCREATE_SERVER_KEYS=YES is set in /etc/sysconfig/sshd. The size of the Diffie-Hellman groups requested for a each symmetric key size was increased according to NIST 800-57 and RFC4419. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 18 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.2p2-6 + 0.9.3-5 - increase the size of the Diffie-Hellman groups (#1010607) - sshd-keygen to generate ECDSA keys <[email protected]> (#1019222) * Wed Jul 31 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.2p2-5 + 0.9.3-5 - gssapi credentials need to be stored before a pam session opened (#987792) * Tue Jul 23 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.2p2-4 + 0.9.3-5 - don't show Success for EAI_SYSTEM (#985964) - make sftp's libedit interface marginally multibyte aware (#841771) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1010607 - security provided by openssh seems questionable https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010607 [ 2 ] Bug #1019222 - Re-enable elliptic curve cryptography (ecc) in openssh https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019222 [ 3 ] Bug #1019256 - ECDHE: now supported in Fedora's OpenSSL https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019256 [ 4 ] Bug #1023945 - openssh does not create host key ssh_host_ecdsa_key https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023945 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
