It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html shortly. Please note that this is a release to address issues in the portable version only. The items mentioned below do not affect the OpenBSD version. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support to the project, especially those who contributed source and bought T-shirts or posters. We have a new design of T-shirt available, more info on http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#18 For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Security Changes: ================= Portable OpenSSH version 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the new PAM authentication code. At least one of these bugs is remotely exploitable (under a non-standard configuration, with privsep disabled). OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 fixes these bugs. Please note that these bugs do not exist in OpenBSD's releases of OpenSSH. Changes since OpenSSH 3.7.1p1: ============================== * This release disables PAM by default. To enable it, set "UsePAM yes" in sshd_config. Due to complexity, inconsistencies in the specification and differences between vendors' PAM implementations we recommend that PAM be left disabled in sshd_config unless there is a need for its use. Sites using only public key or simple password authentication usually have little need to enable PAM support. * This release now requires zlib 1.1.4 to build correctly. Previous versions have security problems. * Fix compilation for versions of OpenSSL before 0.9.6. Some cipher modes are not supported for older OpenSSL versions. * Fix compilation problems on systems with a missing or lacking inet_ntoa() function. * Workaround problems related to unimplemented or broken setresuid/setreuid functions on several platforms. * Fix compilation on older OpenBSD systems. * Fix handling of password-less authentication (PermitEmptyPasswords=yes) that has not worked since the 3.7p1 release. Checksums: ========== - MD5 (openssh-3.7.1p2.tar.gz) = 61cf5b059938718308836d00f6764a94 Reporting Bugs: =============== - please read http://www.openssh.com/report.html and http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ OpenSSH is brought to you by Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, Kevin Steves, Damien Miller, Ben Lindstrom, Darren Tucker and Tim Rice.
