Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-7.1p1-1
Message-Id: <announce.20150821101817.GA18416@calimero.vinschen.de>

I've just updated the Cygwin version of OpenSSH to 7.1p1-1.

This is a new upstream release.

Please note especially the "Potentially-incompatible Changes" and the
"Future Deprecation Notice" sections in the official release message.

I removed OpenSSH 7.0p1 so 6.9p1 is the previous version, for people who
have problems due to the deprecations starting with 7.0p1.  Please note
that this is NOT a long term solution.  You will have to adapt for your
own security at one point.

=========================================================================

OpenSSH 7.1 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 2.0 implementation and
includes sftp client and server support. OpenSSH also includes
transitional support for the legacy SSH 1.3 and 1.5 protocols
that may be enabled at compile-time.

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 or donated to the
project. More information on donations may be found at:
http://www.openssh.com/donations.html

Future deprecation notice
=========================

We plan on retiring more legacy cryptography in the next release
including:

 * Refusing all RSA keys smaller than 1024 bits (the current minimum
   is 768 bits)

 * Several ciphers will be disabled by default: blowfish-cbc,
   cast128-cbc, all arcfour variants and the rijndael-cbc aliases
   for AES.

 * MD5-based HMAC algorithms will be disabled by default.

This list reflects our current intentions, but please check the final
release notes for OpenSSH 7.1 when it is released.

Changes since OpenSSH 7.0
=========================

This is a bugfix release.

Security
--------

 * sshd(8): OpenSSH 7.0 contained a logic error in PermitRootLogin=
   prohibit-password/without-password that could, depending on
   compile-time configuration, permit password authentication to
   root while preventing other forms of authentication. This problem
   was reported by Mantas Mikulenas.

Bugfixes
--------

 * ssh(1), sshd(8): add compatability workarounds for FuTTY

 * ssh(1), sshd(8): refine compatability workarounds for WinSCP

 * Fix a number of memory faults (double-free, free of uninitialised
   memory, etc) in ssh(1) and ssh-keygen(1). Reported by Mateusz
   Kocielski.

Checksums:
==========

 - SHA1 (openssh-7.1.tar.gz) = 06c1db39f33831fe004726e013b2cf84f1889042
 - SHA256 (openssh-7.1.tar.gz) = H7U1se9EoBmhkKi2i7lqpMX9QHdDTsgpu7kd5VZUGSY=

 - SHA1 (openssh-7.1p1.tar.gz) = ed22af19f962262c493fcc6ed8c8826b2761d9b6
 - SHA256 (openssh-7.1p1.tar.gz) = /AptLR0GPVxm3/2VJJPQzaJWytIE9oHeD4TvhbKthCg=

Please note that the SHA256 signatures are base64 encoded and not
hexadecimal (which is the default for most checksum tools). The PGP
key used to sign the releases is available as RELEASE_KEY.asc from
the mirror sites.

Reporting Bugs:
===============

- Please read http://www.openssh.com/report.html
  Security bugs should be reported directly to openssh AT openssh DOT com

OpenSSH is brought to you by Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
Kevin Steves, Damien Miller, Darren Tucker, Jason McIntyre, Tim Rice and
Ben Lindstrom.
