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

2018.76 - 27 February 2018

> > > Configuration/compatibility changes
  IMPORTANT
  Custom configuration is now specified in localoptions.h rather than options.h
  Available options and defaults can be seen in default_options.h

  To migrate your configuration, compare your customised options.h against the
  upstream options.h from your relevant version. Any customised options should
  be put in localoptions.h in the build directory.

- "configure --enable-static" should now be used instead of "make \ 
STATIC=1"
  This will avoid 'hardened build' flags that conflict with static binaries

- Set 'hardened build' flags by default if supported by the compiler.
  These can be disabled with configure --disable-harden if needed.

  Spectre patch from Loganaden Velvindron

- "dropbear -r" option for hostkeys no longer attempts to load the default
  hostkey paths as well. If desired these can be specified manually.
  Patch from CamVan Nguyen

- group1-sha1 key exchange is disabled in the server by default since
  the fixed 1024-bit group may be susceptible to attacks

- twofish ciphers are now disabled in the default configuration

- Default generated ECDSA key size is now 256 (rather than 521)
  for better interoperability

- Minimum RSA key length has been increased to 1024 bits

> > > Other features and fixes

Log message:
*: Move SUBST_STAGE from post-patch to pre-configure

Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.

Log message:
dropbear: update to 2017.75

Changes:
- Security: Fix double-free in server TCP listener cleanup
  A double-free in the server could be triggered by an authenticated
  user if dropbear is running with -a (Allow connections to forwarded
  ports from any host)
  This could potentially allow arbitrary code execution as root by an
  authenticated user.  Affects versions 2013.56 to 2016.74. Thanks to
  Mark Shepard for reporting the crash.
  CVE-2017-9078 https://secure.ucc.asn.au/hg/dropbear/rev/c8114a48837c

- Security: Fix information disclosure with ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  symlink.  Dropbear parsed authorized_keys as root, even if it were
  a symlink. The fix is to switch to user permissions when opening
  authorized_keys

  A user could symlink their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to a root-owned
  file they couldn't normally read. If they managed to get that file
  to contain valid authorized_keys with command= options it might be
  possible to read other contents of that file.
  This information disclosure is to an already authenticated user.
  Thanks to Jann Horn of Google Project Zero for reporting this.
  CVE-2017-9079 https://secure.ucc.asn.au/hg/dropbear/rev/0d889b068123

- Generate hostkeys with dropbearkey atomically and flush to disk with
  fsync. Thanks to Andrei Gherzan for a patch.

- Fix out of tree builds with bundled libtom
  Thanks to Henrik Nordström and Peter Krefting for patches.
