This release fixes a number of security bugs and has minor new
features and bug fixes. Security fixes, from the release notes
(https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.3):
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 destination 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.

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.9
Some highlights:
* ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1): add a system for
restricting forwarding and use of keys added to ssh-agent(1)
* ssh(1), sshd(8): add the sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com hybrid
ECDH/x25519 + Streamlined NTRU Prime post-quantum KEX to the
default KEXAlgorithms list (after the ECDH methods but before the
prime-group DH ones). The next release of OpenSSH is likely to
make this key exchange the default method.
* sshd(8), portable OpenSSH only: this release removes in-built
support for MD5-hashed passwords. If you require these on your
system then we recommend linking against libxcrypt or similar.
Future deprecation notice
=========================
A near-future release of OpenSSH will switch scp(1) from using the
legacy scp/rcp protocol to using SFTP by default.
Legacy scp/rcp performs wildcard expansion of remote filenames (e.g.
"scp host:* .") through the remote shell. This has the side effect of
requiring double quoting of shell meta-characters in file names
included on scp(1) command-lines, otherwise they could be interpreted
as shell commands on the remote side.

Some notable changes, from upstream's release notes:
- sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax.
- ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept the key
fingerprint as a synonym for "yes".
- ssh-keygen(1): when acting as a CA and signing certificates with an RSA
key, default to using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm.
- ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa"
(RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures.
- ssh-sk-helper(8): this is a new binary. It is used by the FIDO/U2F
support to provide address-space isolation for token middleware
libraries (including the internal one).
- ssh(1): this release enables UpdateHostkeys by default subject to some
conservative preconditions.
- scp(1): this release changes the behaviour of remote to remote copies
(e.g. "scp host-a:/path host-b:") to transfer through the local host
by default.
- scp(1): experimental support for transfers using the SFTP protocol as
a replacement for the venerable SCP/RCP protocol that it has
traditionally used.
Additional integration work is needed to support FIDO/U2F in the base
system.
Deprecation Notice
------------------
OpenSSH will disable the ssh-rsa signature scheme by default in the
next release.

Login class-based restrictions were introduced in 5b400a39b8. The
code was adapted for sshd's Capsicum sandbox and received many changes
over time, including at least fc3c19a9fc, bd393de91c, and
e8c56fba29.
During an attempt to upstream the work a much simpler approach was
suggested. Adopt it now in the in-tree OpenSSH to reduce conflicts with
future updates.

The logging was introduced in r314527 but doesn't appear to be useful
for regular operation, and as the result, for users with no class set
(very common) the administrator would see a message like this in their
auth.log:
sshd[44251]: user root login class [preauth]
(note that the class was "" because that's what's typically configured
for most users; we would get 'default' if lc->lc_class is chosen)
Remove this log as it can be annoying as the lookup happen before
authentication and repeats, and our code is not acting upon lc_class
or pw_class directly anyways.

This completely removes client-side support for the SSH 1 protocol,
which was already disabled in 12 but is still enabled in 11. For that
reason, we will not be able to merge 7.6p1 or newer back to 11.
Adjust notification points slightly to catch all auth failures,
rather than just the ones caused by bad usernames.
Modify notification point for bad usernames to send new type of
BLACKLIST_BAD_USER. (Support in libblacklist will be forthcoming soon.)
Add guards to allow library headers to expose the enum of action values.

Change the calls to of blacklist_init() and blacklist_notify to be
macros defined in the blacklist_client.h file. This avoids
the need for #ifdef USE_BLACKLIST / #endif except in the
blacklist.c file.
Remove redundent initialization attempts from within
blacklist_notify - everything always goes through
blacklistd_init().
Added UseBlacklist option to sshd, which defaults to off.
To enable the functionality, use '-o UseBlacklist=yes' on
the command line, or uncomment in the sshd_config file.

Add a post-merge script which reapplies these changes.
Run both scripts to normalize the existing code base. As a result, many
files which should have had $FreeBSD$ tags but didn't now have them.
Partly rewrite the upgrade instructions and remove the now outdated
list of tricks.
- Revert unneeded whitespace changes.
- Revert modifications to loginrec.c, as the upstream version already

- Fix indentation and whitespace of local changes.

I have worked hard to reduce diffs against the vendor branch. One
notable change in that respect is that we no longer prefer DSA over
RSA - the reasons for doing so went away years ago. This may cause
some surprises, as ssh will warn about unknown host keys even for
hosts whose keys haven't changed.
