2024.86 - 22 October 2024

- Fix failure on concurrent channel open/close.

- Print remote host after "Login attempt for nonexistent user" log entry to
  assist fail2ban. Fix from MichaIng, the format changed in 2020.79

Log message:
dropbear: updated to 2024.85

2024.85 - 25 April 2024

  This release fixes build regressions in 2024.84

- Fix build failure when SHA1 is disabled, thanks to Peter Krefting

- Fix build failure when DROPBEAR_CLI_PUBKEY_AUTH disabled, thanks to
  Sergey Ponomarev

- Update debian/ directory with changed paths

Log message:
dropbear: update to 2024.84.

2024.84 - 4 April 2024

Features and Changes:
  Note >> for compatibility/configuration changes

- >> Only use /etc/shadow when a user has :x: as the crypt in /etc/passwd.
  This is the documented behaviour of passwd(5) so should be consistent with
  other programs. Thanks to Paulo Cabral for the report.
  Note that any users without x as the crypt will not be able
  to log in with /etc/shadow, in cases were the existing configuration
  differs.

- Support -o StrictHostKeyChecking, patch from Sergey Ponomarev

- Support -o BatchMode, from Sergey Ponomarev and Hans Harder

- Support various other -o options compatible with OpenSSH, from
  Sergey Ponomarev. Includes -o PasswordAuthentication

- Add dbclient config file support, ~/.ssh/dropbear_config
  Thanks to tjkolev
  Disabled by default, set #define DROPBEAR_USE_SSH_CONFIG 1

- Add support for unix socket forwarding (destination) on
  the server, thanks to WangYi for the implementation

- Add option to bind to interface, from Diederik De Coninck

- Ignore unsupported arguments in dropbearkey, allow running
  binary as 'ssh-key'. From Sergey Ponomarev

- Save a public key file on generation with dropbearkey.
  -C can be used for a comment, and choose a default key
  type (ed25519 first preference).
  Thanks to Sergey Ponomarev

- Allow inetd to run in non-syslog modes. Thanks to Laurent Bercot
  for the report

- Allow user's own gid in PTY permissions, lets Dropbear work as non-root
  even if /dev/pts isn't mounted with gid=5

- src/distrooptions.h can now be used as another config file.
  This can be used by distributions for customisations (separate
  to the build directory's localoptions.h)

Fixes:

- "dbclient host >> output" would previously overwrite \ 
"output", instead of
  appending. Thanks for the report from eSotoIoT

- Add "Strict KEX" support. This mitigates a SSH protocol flaw which lets
  a MITM attacker silently remove packets immediately after the
  first key exchange. At present the flaw does not seem to reduce Dropbear's
  security (the only packet affected would be a server-sig-algs extension,
  which is used for compatibility not security).
  For Dropbear, chacha20-poly1305 is the only affected cipher.
  Both sides of the connection must support Strict KEX for it to be used.

  The protocol flaw is tracked as CVE-2023-48795, details
  at https://terrapin-attack.com . Thanks to the researchers Fabian Bäumer,
  Marcus Brinkmann, and Jörg Schwenk. Thanks to OpenSSH for specifying
  strict KEX mode.

- Fix blocking while closing forwarded TCP sessions. Noticable
  when many connections are being forwarded. Reported and
  tested by GektorUA. Github #230

- Don't offer RSA (then fail) if there is no RSA key. Regression in 2020.79
  Github #219

- Fix missing response to remote TCP requests when it is disabled.
  Patch from Justin Chen. Github #254

- Fix building with DROPBEAR_RSA disabled

- /proc/timer_list is no longer used for entropy, it was a bottleneck.
  Thanks to Aleksei Plotnikov for the report.

- Don't unconditionally enable DROPBEAR_DSS

- Make banner reading failure non-fatal

- Fix DROPBEAR_SVR_MULTIUSER. This appears to have been broken since when it
  was added in 2019. If you're using this let me know (it might be removed
  if I don't hear otherwise). Thanks to davidatrsp

- Fix Y2038 issues

Infrastructure:

- Move source files to src/ subdirectory. Thanks to tjkolev

- Remove more files with "make distclean"

- Add tests for disabled options

Log message:
dropbear: update to 2022.83nb1.

Include terrapin fix and bump PKGREVISION to make clear this
is not 2022.83.

2022.83 - 14 November 2022

Features and Changes:
  Note >> for compatibility/configuration changes

- >> Disable DROPBEAR_DSS by default
  It is only 1024 bit and uses sha1, most distros disable it by default already.

- Added DROPBEAR_RSA_SHA1 option to allow disabling sha1 rsa signatures.
  >> RSA with sha1 will be disabled in a future release (rsa keys will continue
  to work OK, with sha256 signatures used instead).

- Add option for requiring both password and pubkey (-t)
  Patch from Jackkal

- Add 'no-touch-required' and 'verify-required' options for sk keys
  Patch from Egor Duda

  - >> DROPBEAR_SK_KEYS config option now replaces separate DROPBEAR_SK_ECDSA
  and DROPBEAR_SK_ED25519 options.

- Add 'permitopen' option for authorized_keys to restrict forwarded ports
  Patch from Tuomas Haikarainen

- >> Added LTM_CFLAGS configure argument to set flags for building
  bundled libtommath. This also restores the previous arguments used
  in 2020.81 (-O3 -funroll-loops). That gives a big speedup for RSA
  key generation, which regressed in 2022.82.
  There is a tradeoff with code size, so -Os can be used if required.
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/174
  Reported by David Bernard

- Add '-z' flag to disable setting QoS traffic class. This may be necessary
  to work with broken networks or network drivers, exposed after changes to use
  AF21 in 2022.82
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/193
  Reported by yuhongwei380, patch from Petr Štetiar

- Allow overriding user shells with COMPAT_USER_SHELLS
  Based on a patch from Matt Robinson

- Improve permission error message
  Patch from k-kurematsu

- >> Remove HMAC_MD5 entirely

Regression fixes from 2022.82:

- Fix X11 build

- Fix build warning

- Fix compilation when disabling pubkey authentication
  Patch from MaxMougg

- Fix MAX_UNAUTH_CLIENTS regression
  Reported by ptpt52

- Avoid using slower prime testing in bundled libtomcrypt when DSS is disabled
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/174
  Suggested by Steffen Jaeckel

- Fix Dropbear plugin support
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/194
  Reported by Struan Bartlett

Other fixes:

- Fix long standing incorrect compression size check. Dropbear
  (client or server) would erroneously exit with
  "bad packet, oversized decompressed"
  when receiving a compressed packet of exactly the maximum size.

- Fix missing setsid() removed in 2020.79
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/180
  Reported and debugged by m5jt and David Bernard

- Try keyboard-interactive auth before password, in dbclient.
  This was unintentionally changed back in 2013
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/pull/190
  Patch from Michele Giacomoli

- Drain the terminal when reading the fingerprint confirmation response
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/pull/191
  Patch from Michele Giacomoli

- Fix utx wtmp variable typo. This has been wrong for a long time but
  only recently became a problem when wtmp was detected.
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/pull/189
  Patch from Michele Giacomoli

- Improve configure test for hardening options.
  Fixes building on AIX
  https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/issues/158

- Fix debian/dropbear.init newline
  From wulei-student

Infrastructure:

- Test off-by-default compile options

- Set -Wundef to catch typos in #if statements

2022.82 - 1 April 2022

Features and Changes:
  Note >> for compatibility/configuration changes

- Implemented OpenSSH format private key handling for dropbearconvert.
  Keys can be read in OpenSSH format or the old PEM format.
  >> Keys are now written in OpenSSH format rather than PEM.
  ED25519 support is now correct. DSS keys are still PEM format.

- Use SHA256 for key fingerprints

- >> Reworked -v verbose printing, specifying multiple times will increase
  verbosity. -vvvv is equivalent to the old DEBUG_TRACE -v level, it
  can be configured at compile time in localoptions.h (see default_options.h)
  Lower -v options can be used to check connection progress or algorithm
  negotiation.
  Thanks to Hans Harder for the implementation

  localoptions.h DEBUG_TRACE should be set to 4 for the same result as the
  previous DEBUG_TRACE 1.

- Added server support for U2F/FIDO keys (ecdsa-sk and ed25519-sk) in
  authorized_keys. no-touch-required option isn't allowed yet.
  Thanks to Egor Duda for the implementation

- autoconf output (configure script etc) is now committed to version control.
  >> It isn't necessary to run "autoconf" any more on a checkout.

- sha1 will be omitted from the build if KEX/signing/MAC algorithms don't
  require it. Instead sha256 is used for random number generation.
  See sysoptions.h to see which algorithms require which hashes.

- Set SSH_PUBKEYINFO environment variable based on the authorized_keys
  entry used for auth. The first word of the comment after the key is used
  (must only have characters a-z A-Z 0-9 .,_-+@)
  Patch from Hans Harder, modified by Matt Johnston

- Let dbclient multihop mode be used with '-J'.
  Patch from Hans Harder

- Allow home-directory relative paths ~/path for various settings
  and command line options.
  *_PRIV_FILENAME DROPBEAR_PIDFILE SFTPSERVER_PATH MOTD_FILENAME
  Thanks to Begley Brothers Inc

  >> The default DROPBEAR_DEFAULT_CLI_AUTHKEY has now changed, it now needs
  a tilde prefix.

- LANG environment variable is carried over from the Dropbear server process
  From Maxim Kochetkov

- Add /usr/sbin and /sbin to $PATH when logging in as root.
  Patch from Raphaël Hertzog
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903403

- Added client option "-o DisableTrivialAuth". It disallows a server \ 
immediately
  giving successful authentication (without presenting any password/pubkey prompt).
  This avoids a UI confusion issue where it may appear that the user is accepting
  a SSH agent prompt from their local machine, but are actually accepting a prompt
  sent immediately by the remote server.
  CVE-2021-36369 though the description there is a bit confused. It only applies
  to Dropbear as a client.
  Thanks to Manfred Kaiser from Austrian MilCERT

- Add -q client option to hide remote banner, from Hans Harder

- Add -e option to pass all server environment variables to child processes.
  This should be used with caution.
  Patch from Roland Vollgraf (github #118)

- >> Use DSCP for QoS traffic classes. Priority (tty) traffic is now set to
  AF21 "interactive". Previously TOS classes were used, they are not \ 
used by
  modern traffic classifiers. Non-tty traffic is left at default priority.

- >> Disable dh-group1 key exchange by default. It has been disabled server
  side by default since 2018.

- >> Removed Twofish cipher

Fixes:

- Fix flushing channel data when pty was allocated (github #85)
  Data wasn't completely transmitted at channel close.
  Reported and initial patch thanks to Yousong Zhou

- Dropbear now re-executes itself rather than just forking for each connection
  (only on Linux). This allows ASLR to randomise address space for each
  connection as a security mitigation. It should not have any visible impact
  - if there are any performance impacts in the wild please report it.

- Check authorized_keys permissions as the user, fixes NFS squash root.
  Patch from Chris Dragan (github #107)

- A missing home directory is now non-fatal, starting in / instead

- Fixed IPv6 [address]:port parsing for dbclient -b
  Reported by Fabio Molinari

- Improve error logging so that they are logged on the server rather than being
  sent to the client over the connection

- Max window size is increased to 10MB, more graceful fallback if it's invalid.

- Fix correctness of Dropbear's handling of global requests.
  Patch from Dirkjan Bussink

- Fix some small bugs found by fuzzers, null pointer dereference crash and leaks
  (post authentication)

- $HOME variable is used before /etc/passwd when expanding paths such as
  ~/.ssh/id_dropbear (for the client). Patch from Matt Robinson

- C89 build fixes from Guillaume Picquet

Infrastructure:

- Improvements to fuzzers. Added post-auth fuzzer, and a mutator that can
  handle the structure of SSH packet streams. Added cifuzz to run on commits
  and pull requests.
  Thanks to OSS-Fuzz for the tools/clusters and reward funding.

- Dropbear source tarballs generated by release.sh are now reproducible from a
  Git or Mercurial checkout, they will be identical on any system. Tested
  on ubuntu and macos.

- Added some integration testing using pytest. Currently this has tests
  for various channel handling edge cases, ASLR fork randomisation,
  dropbearconvert, and SSH_PUBKEYINFO

- Set up github actions. This runs the pytest suite and other checks.
  - build matrix includes c89, dropbearmulti, bundled libtom, macos, DEBUG_TRACE
  - test for configure script regeneration
  - build a tarball for external reproducibility
