Changelog: This is a SECURITY UPDATE, fixing vulnerabilities in the obsolete SSH-1 protocol. It also includes many bug fixes over 0.71. We recommend that everybody update. Vulnerabilities fixed in this release include: - A malicious SSH-1 server could trigger a buffer overrun by sending extremely short RSA keys, or certain bad packet length fields. Either of these could happen before host key verification, so even if you trust the server you *intended* to connect to, you would still be at risk. (However, the SSH-1 protocol is obsolete, and recent versions of PuTTY do not try it by default, so you are only at risk if you work with old servers and have explicitly configured SSH-1.) - If a malicious process found a way to impersonate Pageant, then it could cause an integer overflow in any of the SSH client tools (PuTTY, Plink, PSCP, PSFTP) which accessed the malicious Pageant. Other security-related bug fixes include: - The 'trust sigil' system introduced in PuTTY 0.71 to protect against server spoofing attacks had multiple bugs. Trust sigils were not turned off after login in the SSH-1 and Rlogin protocols, and not turned back on if you used the Restart Session command. Both are now fixed. Other bug fixes include: - Kerberos key exchange could crash at the start of an SSH session in the presence of a third-party Windows provider such as MIT Kerberos for Windows, and could also crash if the server sent an ordinary SSH host key as part of the Kerberos exchange. - In SSH-2 keyboard-interactive authentication, one of the message fields sent by the server (namely the 'instructions' message) was accidentally never displayed to the user. - When using SSH-2 connection sharing, pasting text into a downstream PuTTY window that included a line longer than 16Kb could cause that window's connection to be closed. - When using PSCP in old-fashioned SCP mode, downloading files specified by a wildcard could cause a newline character to be appended to the downloaded file names. Also, using the -p option to preserve file times failed with a spurious error message. - On Windows, the numeric keypad key that should generate '.' or ',' depending on keyboard layout was always generating '.'. - RSA keys generated by PuTTYgen could be 1 bit shorter than requested. (Harmless, but a regression in 0.71 compared to 0.70.) |

pkgsrc is a framework for building software on UNIX-like systems.
To use, bootstrap using:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap/
./bootstrap
build packages, use:
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages (typically /usr/pkg)
Bugs and patches can be filed in the following link (use category 'pkg'):
https://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd
To fetch the main CVS repository:
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -P pkgsrc
It's also possible to contribute through pkgsrc wip (work in progress), for
more information, see http://pkgsrc.org/wip/users/
Please see doc/pkgsrc.txt for information.
