From: Damien Miller <djm-AT-cvs.openbsd.org> To: lwn-AT-lwn.net Subject: Announce: OpenSSH 5.0 released Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2008 04:48:30 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <200804031048.m33AmU4m016486@cvs.openbsd.org>

OpenSSH 5.0 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience resulting from this release being made so shortly after 4.9. Unfortunately we only learned of the below security issue from the public CVE report. The Debian OpenSSH maintainers responsible for handling the initial report of this bug failed to report it via either the private OpenSSH security contact list (openssh@openssh.com) or the portable OpenSSH Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/). We ask anyone wishing to report security bugs in OpenSSH to please use the openssh@openssh.com contact and to practice responsible disclosure. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. 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 and purchased T-shirts or posters. T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project. Pictures and more information can be found at: http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html and http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Changes since OpenSSH 4.9: ============================ Security: * CVE-2008-1483: Avoid possible hijacking of X11-forwarded connections by refusing to listen on a port unless all address families bind successfully.
