Hello,
A new "bugfix" PKIX-SSH release is available for download.
The main reason is to update "compatibility release" in ssh identification string.
Note so called "session bind" agent functionality is not supported by PKIX-SSH. A security fix related to functionality introduce a new design flow - allowing a request to update a locked agent.
Another set of defects in "compatibility release" is related to regression in configuration parser. Also out of scope to the PKIX-SSH.
Please find list with corrections in this release:
(x) Security:
(*) fix RSA certificate signature policy bypass via SSH_BUG_SIGTYPE
Accept only designed signatures for RSA with SHA2 custom certificates.
(*) avoid potential use-after-free in client remote forwarding
(x) Features:
(*) for errors in packet use only specific fatal
The specific function provides context of the failing peer.
(x) Bugs:
(*) ensure that restricted authentication blocks tunnel forwarding
Note tunnel forwarding is disabled by default.
(*) handle ChannelTimeout and RekeyLimit directives in the match block
(x) Misc:
(*) updated the format of the information for the current secure shell connection
Output "traffic" details on separate lines. Ensure equally adjusted label and detail offset.
(*) make the reading protocol version exchange non-blocking in the key gather utility
(*) process agent "query" extension while locked
(*) improved manual pages
(*) removed outdated README documents
The information about tunneling and platform support is too outdated.
(*) test unification and optimizations
Regards,
Roumen Petrov
