Log Message:
py-paramiko: update to 3.4.0.
- :release:`3.4.0 <2023-12-18>`
- :feature:`-` `Transport` grew a new ``packetizer_class`` kwarg for overriding
the packet-handler class used internally. Mostly for testing, but advanced
users may find this useful when doing deep hacks.
- :bug:`-` Address `CVE 2023-48795<https://terrapin-attack.com/>`_ (aka the
"Terrapin Attack", a vulnerability found in the SSH protocol re: \
treatment of
packet sequence numbers) as follows:
- The vulnerability only impacts encrypt-then-MAC digest algorithms in
tandem with CBC ciphers, and ChaCha20-poly1305; of these, Paramiko
currently only implements ``hmac-sha2-(256|512)-etm`` in tandem with
``AES-CBC``. If you are unable to upgrade to Paramiko versions containing
the below fixes right away, you may instead use the
``disabled_algorithms`` connection option to disable the ETM MACs and/or
the CBC ciphers (this option is present in Paramiko >=2.6).
- As the fix for the vulnerability requires both ends of the connection to
cooperate, the below changes will only take effect when the remote end is
OpenSSH >= 9.6 (or equivalent, such as Paramiko in server mode, as of
this patch version) and configured to use the new "strict kex" mode.
Paramiko will always attempt to use "strict kex" mode if offered \
by the
server, unless you override this by specifying ``strict_kex=False`` in
`Transport.__init__`.
- Paramiko will now raise an `SSHException` subclass (`MessageOrderError`)
when protocol messages are received in unexpected order. This includes
situations like receiving ``MSG_DEBUG`` or ``MSG_IGNORE`` during initial
key exchange, which are no longer allowed during strict mode.
- Key (re)negotiation -- i.e. ``MSG_NEWKEYS``, whenever it is encountered
-- now resets packet sequence numbers. (This should be invisible to users
during normal operation, only causing exceptions if the exploit is
encountered, which will usually result in, again, `MessageOrderError`.)
- Sequence number rollover will now raise `SSHException` if it occurs
during initial key exchange (regardless of strict mode status).
Thanks to Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Jörg Schwenk for submitting
details on the CVE prior to release.
- :bug:`-` Tweak ``ext-info-(c|s)`` detection during KEXINIT protocol phase;
the original implementation made assumptions based on an OpenSSH
implementation detail.
