0.45 - Mon March 7 2005 - Makefile no longer appends 'static' to statically linked binaries - Add optional SSH_ASKPASS support to the client - Respect HOST_LOOKUP option - Fix accidentally removed "return;" statement which was removed in 0.44 (causing clients which sent an empty terminal-modes string to fail to connect - including pssh, ssh.com, danger hiptop). (patches independently from Paul Fox, David Horwitt and Sven-Ola Tuecke) - Read "y/n" response for fingerprints from /dev/tty directly so that dbclient will work with scp. 0.44 - Mon Jan 3 2005 - SECURITY: Fix for PAM auth so that usernames are logged and conversation function responses are allocated correctly - all 0.44test4 users with PAM compiled in (not default) are advised to upgrade. - Fix calls to getnameinfo() for compatibility with Solaris - Pristine compilation works (run 'configure' from a fresh dir and make it there) - Fixes for compiling with most options disabled. - Upgraded to LibTomCrypt 0.99 and LibTomMath 0.32 - Make sure that zeroing out of values in LTM and LTC won't get optimised away - Removed unused functions from loginrec.c - /dev/random is now the default entropy source rather than /dev/urandom - Logging of IPs in auth success/failure messages for improved greppability - Fix dbclient so that "scp -i keyfile" works. (It can handle "-ikeyfile properly) - Avoid a race in server shell-handling code which prevents the exit-code from being returned to the client in some circumstances. - Makefile modified so that install target works correctly (doesn't try to install "all" binary) - patch from Juergen Daubert - Various minor fixes and compile warnings. 0.44test4 - Tue Sept 14 2004 21:15:54 +0800 - Fix inetd mode so it actually loads the hostkeys (oops) - Changed DROPBEAR_DEFPORT properly everywhere - Fix a small memory leak in the auth code - WCOREDUMP is only used on systems which support it (ie not cygwin or AIX) - Check (and fail for) cases when we can't negotiate algorithms with the remote side successfully (rather than bombing out ungracefully) - Handle authorized_keys files without a terminating newline - Fiddle the channel receive window size for possibly better performance - Added in the PAM authentication code (finally! thanks to Martin Carlsson) 0.44test3 - Fri Aug 27 22:20:54 +0800 - Fixed a bunch of warnings. - scp works correctly when passed a username (fix for the dbclient program itself as well, "-lmatt" works as well as "-l matt"). - Remove unrequired debian files - Exit with the remote process's return code for dbclient - Display stderr messages from the server in the client - Add circular buffering to the channel code. This should dramatically reduce the amount of backtraffic sent in response to traffic incoming to the Dropbear end - improves high-latency performance (ie dialup). - Various other related channel-handling fixups. - Allow leading lines in the banner when connecting to servers - Fixed printing out errors onto the network socket with stderr (for inetd mode when using xinetd) - Remove obselete documentation - Fix a null-pointer exception when trying to free non-existant listeners at cleanup. - DEBUG_TRACE now only works if you add "-v" to the program commandline - Don't leave stdin non-blocking on exit - this caused the parent shell of dbclient to close when dbclient exited, for some shells in BusyBox - Server connections no longer timeout after 5 minutes - Fixed stupid DSS hostkey typo (server couldn't load host keys) 0.44test2 - Tues Aug 17 2004 17:43:54 +0800 - Fix up dropbearmulti targets in the Makefile - symlinks are now created - Compile fake-rfc2553 even with dropbearconvert/dropbearkey - this allows them to work on platforms without a native getaddrinfo() - Create ~/.ssh/known_hosts properly if it doesn't exist - Fix basename() function prototype - Backport some local changes (more #ifdefs for termcodes.c, a fix for missing defines on AIX). - Let dbclient be run as "ssh" - Initialise mp_ints by default 0.44test1 - Sun Aug 16 2005 17:43:54 +0800 - TESTING RELEASE - this is the first public release of the client codebase, so there are sure to be bugs to be found. In addition, if you're just using the server portion, the final binary size probably will increase - I'll be trying to get it back down in future releases. - Dropbear client added - lots of changes to the server code as well to generalise things - IPv6 support added for client, server, and forwarding - New makefile with more generic support for multiple-program binaries 0.43 - Fri Jul 16 2004 17:44:54 +0800 - SECURITY: Don't try to free() uninitialised variables in DSS verification code. Thanks to Arne Bernin for pointing out this bug. This is possibly exploitable, all users with DSS and pubkey-auth compiled in are advised to upgrade. - Clean up agent forwarding socket files correctly, patch from Gerrit Pape. - Don't go into an infinite loop when portforwarding to servers which don't send any initial data/banner. Patch from Nikola Vladov - Fix for network vs. host byte order in logging remote TCP ports, also from Gerrit Pape. - Initialise many pointers to NULL, for general safety. Also checked cleanup code for mp_ints (related to security issues above). 0.42 - Wed Jun 16 2004 12:44:54 +0800 - Updated to Gerrit Pape's official Debian subdirectory - Fixed bad check when opening /dev/urandom - thanks to Danny Sung. - Added -i inetd mode flag, and associated options in options.h . Dropbear can be compiled with either normal mode, inetd, or both modes. Thanks to Gerrit Pape for basic patch and motivation. - Use rather than for POSIX compliance. Thanks to Bill Sommerfield. - Fixed a TCP forwarding (client-local, -L style) bug which caused the whole session to close if the TCP connection failed. Thanks to Andrew Braund for reporting it and helping track it down. - Re-enable sigpipe for child processes. Thanks to Gerrit Pape for some suggestions, and BSD manpages for a clearer explanation of the behaviour. - Added manpages, thanks to Gerrit Pape. - Changed license text for LibTomCrypt and LibTomMath. - Added strip-static target - Fixed a bug in agent-forwarding cleanup handler - would segfault (dereferencing a null pointer) if agent forwarding had failed. - Fix behaviour of authorized_keys parsing, so larger (>1024 bit) DSA keys will work. Thanks to Dr. Markus Waldeck for the report. - Fixed local port forwarding code so that the "-j" option will make forwarding attempts fail more gracefully. - Allow repeated requests in a single session if previous ones fail - this fixes PuTTY and some other SCP clients, which try SFTP, then fall-back to SCP if it isn't available. Thanks to Stirling Westrup for the report. - Updated to LibTomCrypt 0.96 and LibTomMath 0.30. The AES code now uses smaller non-precomputed tables if DROPBEAR_SMALL_CODE is defined in options.h, leading to a significant reduction in the binary size. 0.41 - Mon Jan 19 2004 22:40:19 +0800 - Fix in configure so that cross-compiling works, thanks to numerous people for reporting and testing - Terminal mode parsing now handles empty terminal mode strings (sent by Windows ssh.com clients), thanks to Ricardo Derbes for the report - Handling is improved for users with no shell specified in /etc/passwd, thanks again to Ricardo Derbes - Fix for compiling with --disable-syslog, thanks to gordonfh - Various minor fixes allow scp to work with irix, thanks to Paul Marinceu for fixing it up - Use not , since the former seems more common 0.40 - Tue Jan 13 2004 21:05:19 +0800 - Remote TCP forwarding (-R) style implemented - Local and remote TCP forwarding can each be disabled at runtime (-k and -j switches) - Fix for problems detecting openpty() with uClibc - many thanks to various people for reporting and testing fixes, including (in random order) Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn, James Ewing, Steve Dover, Thomas Lundquist and Frederic Lavernhe - Improved portability for IRIX, thanks to Paul Marinceu - AIX and HPUX portability fixes, thanks to Darren Tucker for patches - prngd should now work correctly, thanks to Darren Tucker for the patch - scp compilation on systems without strlcpy() is fixed, thanks to Peter Jannesen and David Muse for reporting it (independently and simultaneously :) - Merged in new LibTomCrypt 0.92 and LibTomMath 0.28 0.39 - Tue Dec 16 2003 15:19:19 +0800 - Better checking of key lengths and parameters for DSS and RSA auth - Print fingerprint of keys used for pubkey auth - More consistent logging of usernames and IPs - Added option to disable password auth (or just for root) at runtime - Avoid including bignum functions which don't give much speed benefit but take up binary size - Added a stripped down version of OpenSSH's scp binary - Added additional supporting functions for Irix, thanks to Paul Marinceu - Don't check for unused libraries in configure script - Removed trailing comma in algorithm lists (thanks to Mihnea Stoenescu) - Fixed up channel close handling, always send close packet in response (also thanks to Mihnea Stoenescu) - Various makefile improvements for cross-compiling, thanks to Friedrich Lobenstock and Mihnea Stoenescu - Use daemon() function if available (or our own copy) rather than separate code (thanks to Frédéric Lavernhe for the report and debugging, and Bernard Blackham for his suggestion on what to look at) - Fixed up support for first_kex_packet_follows, required to talk to ssh.com clients.
