Download OpenSSH 3.6

Spread the love

One of the most common ways to access servers is via SSH. The responsible server for this is OpenSSH and now has a new version ready for download.
OpenSSH 3.6 is the latest addition to this secured shell server. It supports versions 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 of the SSH protocol and again includes the latest security technologies. The list of changes therefore includes the following points:

Changes since OpenSSH 3.5:

  • RSA blinding is now used by ssh(1), sshd(8) and ssh-agent(1).
    in order to avoid potential timing attacks against the RSA keys.
    Older versions of OpenSSH have been using RSA blinding in
    ssh-keysign(1) only.
  • ssh-agent(1) optionally requires user confirmation if a key gets
    used, see ‘-c’ in ssh-add(1).
  • sshd(8) now handles PermitRootLogin correctly when UsePrivilegeSeparation
    is enabled.
  • sshd(8) now removes X11 cookies when a session gets closed.
  • ssh-keysign(8) is disabled by default and only enabled if the
    new EnableSSHKeysign option is set in the global ssh_config(5)
    file.
  • ssh(1) and sshd(8) now handle ‘kex guesses’ correctly (key exchange
    guesses).
  • ssh(1) no longer overwrites SIG_IGN. This matches behavior from
    rsh(1) and is used by backup tools.
  • setting ProxyCommand to ‘none’ disables the proxy feature, see
    ssh_config(5).
  • scp(1) supports add -1 and -2.
  • scp(1) supports bandwidth limiting.
  • sftp(1) displays a progress meter.
  • sftp(1) has improved error handling for scripting.
  • Version number 3.6
