I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 4.5p1-1.
This is a new major upstream release. The Cygwin release is created
from the vanilla sources.
The problem in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00250.html and
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00513.html
has been rectified. I reported this problem upstream and the patch in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=116288601229538
has been applied. So it's not further necessary to create a (fake) sshd
account with 4.5p1 in the scenario described in the above mails.
The official release message of 4.5p1:
====================================================================
OpenSSH 4.5 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.
OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.
Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed
code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots and purchased
T-shirts or posters.
T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project. Pictures
and more information can be found at:
http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html and
http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html
For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order
and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu
Changes since OpenSSH 4.4:
============================
This is a bugfix only release. No new features have been added.
Security bugs resolved in this release:
* Fix a bug in the sshd privilege separation monitor that weakened its
verification of successful authentication. This bug is not known to
be exploitable in the absence of additional vulnerabilities.
This release includes the following non-security fixes:
* Several compilation fixes for portable OpenSSH
* Fixes to Solaris SMF/process contract support (bugzilla #1255)
Thanks to everyone who has contributed patches, reported bugs and
tested releases.
