This bug was fixed in the package openssh - 1:5.5p1-3ubuntu1
---
openssh (1:5.5p1-3ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login.
- Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests; they
take up a lot of CD space, and I suspect that rolling them out in
security updates has covered most affected systems now.
- Convert to Upstart. The init script is still here for the benefit of
people running sshd in chroots.
- Install apport hook.
* Stop setting OOM adjustment in Upstart job; sshd does it itself now.
openssh (1:5.5p1-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Discard error messages while checking whether rsh, rlogin, and rcp
alternatives exist (closes: #579285).
* Drop IDEA key check; I don't think it works properly any more due to
textual changes in error output, it's only relevant for direct upgrades
from truly ancient versions, and it breaks upgrades if
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key can't be loaded (closes: #579570).
openssh (1:5.5p1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Use dh_installinit -n, since our maintainer scripts already handle this
more carefully (thanks, Julien Cristau).
openssh (1:5.5p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Unbreak sshd_config's AuthorizedKeysFile option for $HOME-relative
paths.
- Include a language tag when sending a protocol 2 disconnection
message.
- Make logging of certificates used for user authentication more clear
and consistent between CAs specified using TrustedUserCAKeys and
authorized_keys.
openssh (1:5.4p1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Borrow patch from Fedora to add DNSSEC support: if glibc 2.11 is
installed, the host key is published in an SSHFP RR secured with DNSSEC,
and VerifyHostKeyDNS=yes, then ssh will no longer prompt for host key
verification (closes: #572049).
* Convert to dh(1), and use dh_installdocs --link-doc.
* Drop lpia support, since Ubuntu no longer supports this architecture.
* Use dh_install more effectively.
* Add a NEWS.Debian entry about changes in smartcard support relative to
previous unofficial builds (closes: #231472).
openssh (1:5.4p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release (LP: #535029).
- After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH
protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the
legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config
or on the command-line.
- Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for
PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian
packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library
dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918).
- Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a
new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806).
- Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...".
- Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian
package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in
openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly
different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.)
- Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting
port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151).
- Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to
override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843).
- Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options,
and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old
mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed
(closes: #270399, #428082).
- Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log
the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538).
- Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also,
allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
* Fix 'debian/rules quilt-setup' to avoid writing .orig files if some
patches apply with offsets.
* Include debian/ssh-askpass-gnome.png in the Debian tarball now that
we're using a source format that permits this, rather than messing
around with uudecode.
* Drop compatibility with the old gssapi mechanism used in ssh-krb5 <<
3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
* Fix substitution of ETC_PAM_D_SSH, following the rename in 1:4.7p1-4.
* Hardcode the location of xauth to /usr/bin/xauth rather than
/usr/bin/X11/xauth (thanks, Aron Griffis; closes: #575725,
