Name : openssh Product : Fedora 18 Version : 6.1p1 Release : 10.fc18 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]> 6.1p1-10 + 0.9.3-3 - increase the size of the Diffie-Hellman groups (#1010607) - sshd-keygen to generate ECDSA keys <[email protected]> (#1019222) - don't show Success for EAI_SYSTEM (#985964) * Thu Jun 20 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.1p1-9 + 0.9.3-3 - make sftp's libedit interface marginally multibyte aware (#841771) * Tue Apr 23 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.1p1-8 + 0.9.3-3 - AuthorizedKeysCommandUser: use the user being authenticated by default (#953534) * Wed Apr 17 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.1p1-7 + 0.9.3-3 - allow specification of alternate host key location(s) via /etc/sysconfig/sshd <[email protected]> (#865803) - sshd.service: use KillMode=process (#890376) - don't use export in sysconfig file (#953111) * Thu Feb 14 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.1p1-6 + 0.9.3-3 - fix AuthorizedKeysCommand option * Fri Feb 8 2013 Petr Lautrbach <[email protected]> 6.1p1-5 + 0.9.3-3 - change default value of MaxStartups - CVE-2010-5107 (#908707) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 #985964 - success on failing to connect to a non-existing host https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985964 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
