Ed Maste bb5c77e9d2 OpenSSH: Update to 10.4p1

Selected highlights from the release notes:

Potentially-incompatible changes
--------------------------------

 * sshd(8): configuration dump mode ("sshd -G") now writes directives
   in mixed case (e.g. "PubkeyAuthentication") whereas previously it
   emitted only lower-case names.

 * ssh(1), sshd(8): make the transport protocol stricter by
   disconnecting if the peer sends non-KEX messages during a post-
   authentication key re-exchange. Previously a malicious peer could
   continue sending non-key exchange messages without penalty. These
   would be buffered, causing memory to be wasted up until the
   connection terminated or the server/client hit a memory limit.
   Implementations that do not restrict messages sent during key
   exchange as per RFC4253 section 7.1 may be disconnected.
   Reported by Marko Jevtic.

Changes since OpenSSH 10.3
==========================

This release contains a number of security fixes as well as general
bugfixes and a couple of new features.

Security
========

 * sftp(1): when downloading files on the command-line using
   "sftp host:/path .", a malicious server could cause the file to
   be downloaded to an unexpected location. This issue was identified
   by the Swival Security Scanner.

 * scp(1): when copying files between two remote destinations, do
   not allow a malicious server to write files to the parent
   directory of the intended target directory.  This issue was
   identified by the Swival Security Scanner.

 * sshd(8): DisableForwarding=yes didn't override PermitTunnel=yes
   as it was documented to do. Note that PermitTunnel is not enabled
   by default. Reported independently by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of
   Redhat and Marko Jevtic.

 * sshd(8): avoid a potential pre-authentication denial of service
   when GSSAPIAuthentication was enabled (this feature is off by
   default). This was not mitigated by MaxAuthTries, but would be
   penalised by PerSourcePenalties. This was reported by Manfred
   Kaiser of the milCERT AT (Austrian Ministry of Defence).

 * sshd(8): fix a number of cases where the minimum authentication
   delay was not being enforced. Reported by the Orange Cyberdefense
   Vulnerability Team.

 * ssh(1): fix a possible client-side use-after-free if the server
   changes its host key during a key reexchange. This was reported by
   Zhenpeng (Leo) Lin of Depthfirst.

New features
------------

 * All: add experimental support for a composite post-quantum
   signature scheme that combines ML-DSA 44 and Ed25519 as specified
   in draft-miller-sshm-mldsa44-ed25519-composite-sigs.

   This scheme is not enabled by default. To use it, you'll need
   to add it to HostKeyAlgorithms, PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms, etc.
   Keys may be generated using "ssh-keygen -t mldsa44-ed25519".

Bugfixes
--------

 * sshd(8): avoid sending observably different messages for valid vs
   invalid users in GSSAPIAuthentication (disabled by default).

 * ssh(1), sshd(8): fix several bugs that incorrectly
   classified bulk traffic as interactive. bz3972, bz3958

 * ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): skip unsupported key types when
   downloading resident keys from a FIDO token. Previously, downloads
   would abort when one was encountered. GHPR657

.Dt SSH-KEYSCAN 1
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm ssh-keyscan
.Nd gather SSH public keys from servers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm ssh-keyscan
.Op Fl 46cDHqv
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Fl O Ar option
.Op Fl p Ar port
.Op Fl T Ar timeout
.Op Fl t Ar type
.Op Ar host | addrlist namelist
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a utility for gathering the public SSH host keys of a number of
hosts.
It was designed to aid in building and verifying
.Pa ssh_known_hosts
files,
the format of which is documented in
.Xr sshd 8 .
.Nm
provides a minimal interface suitable for use by shell and perl
scripts.
.Pp
.Nm
uses non-blocking socket I/O to contact as many hosts as possible in
parallel, so it is very efficient.
The keys from a domain of 1,000
hosts can be collected in tens of seconds, even when some of those
hosts are down or do not run
.Xr sshd 8 .
For scanning, one does not need
login access to the machines that are being scanned, nor does the
scanning process involve any encryption.
.Pp
Hosts to be scanned may be specified by hostname, address or by CIDR
network range (e.g. 192.168.16/28).
If a network range is specified, then all addresses in that range will
be scanned.
.Pp
.Nm
cannot verify the authenticity of the host keys it obtains, and an attacker
on the network with the ability to intercept traffic could substitute their
own host keys to enable impersonation of servers.
Because of this,
.Nm
output should be verified out of band, or only used directly for host
authentication if the network is trusted.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl 4
Force
.Nm
to use IPv4 addresses only.
.It Fl 6
Force
.Nm
to use IPv6 addresses only.
.It Fl c
Request certificates from target hosts instead of plain keys.
.It Fl D
Print keys found as SSHFP DNS records.
The default is to print keys in a format usable as an
.Xr ssh 1
.Pa known_hosts
file.
.It Fl f Ar file
Read hosts or
.Dq addrlist namelist
pairs from
.Ar file ,
one per line.
If
.Sq -
is supplied instead of a filename,
.Nm
will read from the standard input.
Names read from a file must start with an address, hostname or CIDR network
range to be scanned.
Addresses and hostnames may optionally be followed by comma-separated name
or address aliases that will be copied to the output.
For example:
.Bd -literal
192.168.11.0/24
10.20.1.1
happy.example.org
10.0.0.1,sad.example.org
.Ed
.It Fl H
Hash all hostnames and addresses in the output.
Hashed names may be used normally by
.Xr ssh 1
and
.Xr sshd 8 ,
but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents
be disclosed.
.It Fl O Ar option
Specify a key/value option.
At present, only a single option is supported:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm hashalg Ns = Ns Ar algorithm
Selects a hash algorithm to use when printing SSHFP records using the
.Fl D
flag.
Valid algorithms are
.Dq sha1
and
.Dq sha256 .
The default is to print both.
.El
.It Fl p Ar port
Connect to
.Ar port
on the remote host.
.It Fl q
Quiet mode:
do not print server host name and banners in comments.
.It Fl T Ar timeout
Set the timeout for connection attempts.
If
.Ar timeout
seconds have elapsed since a connection was initiated to a host or since the
last time anything was read from that host, the connection is
closed and the host in question considered unavailable.
The default is 5 seconds.
.It Fl t Ar type
Specify the type of the key to fetch from the scanned hosts.
The possible values are
.Dq ecdsa ,
.Dq ed25519 ,
.Dq ecdsa-sk ,
.Dq ed25519-sk ,
or
.Dq rsa .
Multiple values may be specified by separating them with commas.
The default is to fetch all the above key types.
.It Fl v
Verbose mode:
print debugging messages about progress.
.El
.Pp
If an ssh_known_hosts file is constructed using
.Nm
without verifying the keys, users will be vulnerable to
.Em man in the middle
attacks.
On the other hand, if the security model allows such a risk,
.Nm
can help in the detection of tampered keyfiles or man in the middle
attacks which have begun after the ssh_known_hosts file was created.
.Sh FILES
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
.Sh EXAMPLES
Print the RSA host key for machine
.Ar hostname :
.Pp
.Dl $ ssh-keyscan -t rsa hostname
.Pp
Search a network range, printing all supported key types:
.Pp
.Dl $ ssh-keyscan 192.168.0.64/25
.Pp
Find all hosts from the file
.Pa ssh_hosts
which have new or different keys from those in the sorted file
.Pa ssh_known_hosts :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ ssh-keyscan -t rsa,ecdsa,ed25519 -f ssh_hosts | \e
sort -u - ssh_known_hosts | diff ssh_known_hosts -
