Using openssh-SNAP-20200514, on Solaris 10 for SPARC, using
Solaris Studio 12.4, and our local build of OpenSSL 1.1.1g,
all tests pass.

Hi,
OpenSSH 8.3p1 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing
on as many platforms and systems as possible. This is a bugfix release.
Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from
http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/
The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
Portable OpenSSH is also available via git using the
instructions at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#cvs
At https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/ or via a mirror at Github:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable
Running the regression tests supplied with Portable OpenSSH does not
require installation and is a simply:
$ ./configure && make tests
Live testing on suitable non-production systems is also appreciated.
Please send reports of success or failure to
openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx. Security bugs should be reported
directly to openssh@xxxxxxxxxxx.
Below is a summary of changes. More detail may be found in the ChangeLog
in the portable OpenSSH tarballs.
Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release.
Security
========
* scp(1): when receiving files, scp(1) could be become desynchronised
if a utimes(2) system call failed. This could allow file contents
to be interpreted as file metadata and thereby permit an adversary
to craft a file system that, when copied with scp(1) in a
configuration that caused utimes(2) to fail (e.g. under a SELinux
policy or syscall sandbox), transferred different file names and
contents to the actual file system layout.
Exploitation of this is not likely as utimes(2) does not fail under
normal circumstances. Successful exploitation is not silent - the
output of scp(1) would show transfer errors followed by the actual
file(s) that were received.
Finally, filenames returned from the peer are (since openssh-8.0)
matched against the user's requested destination, thereby
disallowing a successful exploit from writing files outside the
user's selected target glob (or directory, in the case of a
recursive transfer). This ensures that this attack can achieve no
more than a hostile peer is already able to do within the scp
protocol.
Potentially-incompatible changes
================================
This release includes a number of changes that may affect existing
configurations:
* sftp(1): reject an argument of "-1" in the same way as ssh(1) and
scp(1) do instead of accepting and silently ignoring it.
Changes since OpenSSH 8.2
=========================
The focus of this release is bug fixing.
New Features
------------
* sshd(8): make IgnoreRhosts a tri-state option: "yes" to ignore
rhosts/shosts, "no" allow rhosts/shosts or (new) "shosts-only"
to allow .shosts files but not .rhosts.
* sshd(8): allow the IgnoreRhosts directive to appear anywhere in a
sshd_config, not just before any Match blocks; bz3148
* ssh(1): add %TOKEN percent expansion for the LocalFoward and
RemoteForward keywords when used for Unix domain socket forwarding.
bz#3014
* all: allow loading public keys from the unencrypted envelope of a
private key file if no corresponding public key file is present.
* ssh(1), sshd(8): prefer to use chacha20 from libcrypto where
possible instead of the (slower) portable C implementation included
in OpenSSH.
* ssh-keygen(1): add ability to dump the contents of a binary key
revocation list via "ssh-keygen -lQf /path" bz#3132
Bugfixes
--------
* ssh(1): fix IdentitiesOnly=yes to also apply to keys loaded from
a PKCS11Provider; bz#3141
* ssh-keygen(1): avoid NULL dereference when trying to convert an
invalid RFC4716 private key.
* scp(2): when performing remote-to-remote copies using "scp -3",
start the second ssh(1) channel with BatchMode=yes enabled to
avoid confusing and non-deterministic ordering of prompts.
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): when signing a challenge using a FIDO token,
perform hashing of the message to be signed in the middleware layer
rather than in OpenSSH code. This permits the use of security key
middlewares that perform the hashing implicitly, such as Windows
Hello.
* ssh(1): fix incorrect error message for "too many known hosts
files." bz#3149
* ssh(1): make failures when establishing "Tunnel" forwarding
terminate the connection when ExitOnForwardFailure is enabled;
bz#3116
* ssh-keygen(1): fix printing of fingerprints on private keys and add
a regression test for same.
* sshd(8): document order of checking AuthorizedKeysFile (first) and
AuthorizedKeysCommand (subsequently, if the file doesn't match);
bz#3134
* sshd(8): document that /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv are
not considered for HostbasedAuthentication when the target user is
root; bz#3148
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): fix NULL dereference in private certificate
key parsing (oss-fuzz #20074).
* ssh(1), sshd(8): more consistency between sets of %TOKENS are
accepted in various configuration options.
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): improve error messages for some common
PKCS#11 C_Login failure cases; bz#3130
* ssh(1), sshd(8): make error messages for problems during SSH banner
exchange consistent with other SSH transport-layer error messages
and ensure they include the relevant IP addresses bz#3129
* various: fix a number of spelling errors in comments and debug/error
messages
* ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): when downloading FIDO2 resident keys
from a token, don't prompt for a PIN until the token has told us
that it needs one. Avoids double-prompting on devices that
implement on-device authentication.
* sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): no-touch-required FIDO certificate option
should be an extension, not a critical option.
* ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh-add(1): offer a better error message
when trying to use a FIDO key function and SecurityKeyProvider is
empty.
* ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(8): ensure that a key lifetime fits within
the values allowed by the wire format (u32). Prevents integer
wraparound of the timeout values. bz#3119
* ssh(1): detect and prevent trivial configuration loops when using
ProxyJump. bz#3057.
Portability
-----------
* Detect systems where signals flagged with SA_RESTART will interrupt
select(2). POSIX permits implementations to choose whether
select(2) will return when interrupted with a SA_RESTART-flagged
signal, but OpenSSH requires interrupting behaviour.
* Several compilation fixes for HP/UX and AIX.
* On platforms that do not support setting process-wide routing
domains (all excepting OpenBSD at present), fail to accept a
configuration attempts to set one at process start time rather than
fatally erroring at run time. bz#3126
* Improve detection of egrep (used in regression tests) on platforms
that offer a poor default one (e.g. Solaris).
* A number of shell portability fixes for the regression tests.
* Fix theoretical infinite loop in the glob(3) replacement
implementation.
* Fix seccomp sandbox compilation problems for some Linux
configurations bz#3085
* Improved detection of libfido2 and some compilation fixes for some
configurations when --with-security-key-builtin is selected.
