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 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.

This moves SSHDIR and ssh_namespace.h handling to a common location,
and will simplify future work such as adding U2F support (D32509).

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.

Leaf directories that have dependencies impacted
by options need a Makefile.depend.options file
to avoid churn in Makefile.depend
DIRDEPS for cases such as OPENSSL, TCP_WRAPPERS etc
can be set in local.dirdeps-options.mk
which can add to those set in Makefile.depend.options

MK_KERBEROS_SUPPORT != no
This fixes the odd case where someone specified MK_GSSAPI=no and
MK_KERBEROS_SUPPORT=yes (which admittedly, probably doesn't make sense,
but the build system doesn't prevent this case today, and it didn't when
I filed the bug back in 2011 either).

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.

bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk already depend all objs on headers in SRCS if
there is not yet a depend file. The headers in SRCS are never built or
installed. After 'make depend' the header was already added as a proper
dependency on the objects where needed.

as the last component if linked to kerberos hence avoid with out any explicit
addition prevent issue like CVE-2014-8475
Make sure everything linking to a privatelib and/or an internallib does it directly
from the OBJDIR rather than DESTDIR.
Add src.libnames.mk so bsd.libnames.mk is not polluted by libraries not existsing
in final installation
Introduce the LD* variable which is what ld(1) is expecting (via LDADD) to link to
internal/privatelib
Directly link to the .so in case of private library to avoid having to complexify
LDFLAGS.

explicitely linking main binary with -lpthread. Before, libthr
appeared in the list due to dependency of one of the kerberos libs.
Due to the change in ld(1) behaviour of not copying NEEDED entries
from direct dependencies into the link results, the order becomes
reversed.
The libthr must appear before libc to properly interpose libc symbols
and provide working rtld locks implementation. The symptom was sshd
hanging on rtld bind lock during nested symbol binding from a signal
handler.
