Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.1
9.1 contains fixes for three minor memory safety problems; these have
lready been merged to the copy of OpenSSH 9.0 that is in the FreeBSD base
system.
Some highlights copied from the release notes:
Potentially-incompatible changes
--------------------------------
* ssh(1), sshd(8): SetEnv directives in ssh_config and sshd_config
are now first-match-wins to match other directives. Previously
if an environment variable was multiply specified the last set
value would have been used. bz3438
* ssh-keygen(8): ssh-keygen -A (generate all default host key types)
will no longer generate DSA keys, as these are insecure and have
not been used by default for some years.
New features
------------
* ssh(1), sshd(8): add a RequiredRSASize directive to set a minimum
RSA key length. Keys below this length will be ignored for user
authentication and for host authentication in sshd(8).
* sftp-server(8): add a "users-groups-by-id@openssh.com" extension
request that allows the client to obtain user/group names that
correspond to a set of uids/gids.
* sftp(1): use "users-groups-by-id@openssh.com" sftp-server
extension (when available) to fill in user/group names for
directory listings.
* sftp-server(8): support the "home-directory" extension request
defined in draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-extensions-00. This overlaps
a bit with the existing "expand-path@openssh.com", but some other
clients support it.
* ssh-keygen(1), sshd(8): allow certificate validity intervals,
sshsig verification times and authorized_keys expiry-time options
to accept dates in the UTC time zone in addition to the default
of interpreting them in the system time zone. YYYYMMDD and
YYMMDDHHMM[SS] dates/times will be interpreted as UTC if suffixed
with a 'Z' character.
Also allow certificate validity intervals to be specified in raw
seconds-since-epoch as hex value, e.g. -V 0x1234:0x4567890. This
is intended for use by regress tests and other tools that call
ssh-keygen as part of a CA workflow. bz3468
* sftp(1): allow arguments to the sftp -D option, e.g. sftp -D
"/usr/libexec/sftp-server -el debug3"
* ssh-keygen(1): allow the existing -U (use agent) flag to work
with "-Y sign" operations, where it will be interpreted to require
that the private keys is hosted in an agent; bz3429

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.

Compatibility with existing OpenSSL versions is maintained.

Trivial conflicts in sshkey.c and test_sshkey.c were resolved.

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.
$FreeBSD$ tags and man page dates.
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.
the bandwidth of long fat pipes (i.e. 100Mbps+ trans-oceanic or
trans-continental links). Bandwidth-delay products up to 64MB are
supported.
Also add support (not compiled by default) for the None cypher. The
None cypher can only be enabled on non-interactive sessions (those
without a pty where -T was not used) and must be enabled in both
the client and server configuration files and on the client command
line. Additionally, the None cypher will only be activated after
authentication is complete. To enable the None cypher you must add
-DNONE_CIPHER_ENABLED to CFLAGS via the make command line or in
/etc/make.conf.
This code is a style(9) compliant version of these features extracted
from the patches published at:
http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/
Merging this patch has been a collaboration between me and Bjoern.

- sshd fails to set TERM correctly.
- privilege separation may break PAM and is currently turned off.
- man pages have not yet been updated
I will have these issues resolved, and privilege separation turned on by
default, in time for DP2.
