SSH is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security and features. This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server. To make this package useful, you should also install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: New upstream release with significantly reworked PKCS#11 support, GSSAPI key exchange and several fixes for CVE-2019-6111 and CVE-2019-6109 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Fri Apr 26 2019 Jakub Jelen - 8.0p1-1 + 0.10.3-7 - New upstream release (#1701072) - Removed support for VendroPatchLevel configuration option - Significant rework of GSSAPI Key Exchange - Significant rework of PKCS#11 URI support --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1666127 - CVE-2019-6111 openssh: Improper validation of object names allows malicious server tooverwrite files via scp client https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666127 [ 2 ] Bug #1666119 - CVE-2019-6109 openssh: Missing character encoding in progress display allows for spoofing of scp client output https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666119 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
