From the release notes: Changes since OpenSSH 9.3 ========================= This release fixes a security bug. Security ======== Fix CVE-2023-38408 - a condition where specific libaries loaded via ssh-agent(1)'s PKCS#11 support could be abused to achieve remote code execution via a forwarded agent socket if the following conditions are met: * Exploitation requires the presence of specific libraries on the victim system. * Remote exploitation requires that the agent was forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. Exploitation can also be prevented by starting ssh-agent(1) with an empty PKCS#11/FIDO allowlist (ssh-agent -P '') or by configuring an allowlist that contains only specific provider libraries. This vulnerability was discovered and demonstrated to be exploitable by the Qualys Security Advisory team. In addition to removing the main precondition for exploitation, this release removes the ability for remote ssh-agent(1) clients to load PKCS#11 modules by default (see below). Potentially-incompatible changes -------------------------------- * ssh-agent(8): the agent will now refuse requests to load PKCS#11 modules issued by remote clients by default. A flag has been added to restore the previous behaviour "-Oallow-remote-pkcs11". Note that ssh-agent(8) depends on the SSH client to identify requests that are remote. The OpenSSH >=8.9 ssh(1) client does this, but forwarding access to an agent socket using other tools may circumvent this restriction. CVE: CVE-2023-38408 Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation |

$FreeBSD$ This directory is for the EXACT same use as src/contrib, except it holds crypto sources. In other words, this holds raw sources obtained from various third party vendors, with FreeBSD patches applied. No compilation is done from this directory, it is all done from the src/secure directory. The separation between src/contrib and src/crypto is the result of an old USA law, which made these sources export controlled, so they had to be kept separate.
