OpenSSH: Update to 10.0p2

Full release notes are available at
https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-10.0

Selected highlights from the release notes:

Potentially-incompatible changes

- This release removes support for the weak DSA signature algorithm.
[This change was previously merged to FreeBSD main.]

- This release has the version number 10.0 and announces itself as
"SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.0". Software that naively matches versions using
patterns like "OpenSSH_1*" may be confused by this.

- sshd(8): this release removes the code responsible for the user
authentication phase of the protocol from the per-connection
sshd-session binary to a new sshd-auth binary.

Security

- sshd(8): fix the DisableForwarding directive, which was failing to
disable X11 forwarding and agent forwarding as documented.
[This change was previously merged to FreeBSD main.]

New features

- ssh(1): the hybrid post-quantum algorithm mlkem768x25519-sha256 is now
used by default for key agreement.

Future deprecation notice
=========================

OpenSSH plans to remove support for the DSA signature algorithm in
early 2025.

Potentially-incompatible changes
--------------------------------

* sshd(8): the server will now block client addresses that
repeatedly fail authentication, repeatedly connect without ever
completing authentication or that crash the server. See the
discussion of PerSourcePenalties below for more information.
Operators of servers that accept connections from many users, or
servers that accept connections from addresses behind NAT or
proxies may need to consider these settings.

* sshd(8): the server has been split into a listener binary, sshd(8),
and a per-session binary "sshd-session". This allows for a much
smaller listener binary, as it no longer needs to support the SSH
protocol. As part of this work, support for disabling privilege
separation (which previously required code changes to disable) and
disabling re-execution of sshd(8) has been removed. Further
separation of sshd-session into additional, minimal binaries is
planned for the future.

* sshd(8): several log messages have changed. In particular, some
log messages will be tagged with as originating from a process
named "sshd-session" rather than "sshd".

* ssh-keyscan(1): this tool previously emitted comment lines
containing the hostname and SSH protocol banner to standard error.
This release now emits them to standard output, but adds a new
"-q" flag to silence them altogether.

* sshd(8): (portable OpenSSH only) sshd will no longer use argv[0]
as the PAM service name. A new "PAMServiceName" sshd_config(5)
directive allows selecting the service name at runtime. This
defaults to "sshd". bz2101

New features
------------

* sshd(8): sshd(8) will now penalise client addresses that, for various
reasons, do not successfully complete authentication. This feature is
controlled by a new sshd_config(5) PerSourcePenalties option and is
on by default.

* ssh(8): allow the HostkeyAlgorithms directive to disable the
implicit fallback from certificate host key to plain host keys.

Portability
-----------

* sshd(8): expose SSH_AUTH_INFO_0 always to PAM auth modules
unconditionally. The previous behaviour was to expose it only when
particular authentication methods were in use.

* ssh(1), ssh-agent(8): allow the presence of the WAYLAND_DISPLAY
environment variable to enable SSH_ASKPASS, similarly to the X11
DISPLAY environment variable. GHPR479

* ssh(1): allow forwarding Unix Domain sockets via ssh -W.

* ssh(1): add support for configuration tags to ssh(1).
This adds a ssh_config(5) "Tag" directive and corresponding
"Match tag" predicate that may be used to select blocks of
configuration similar to the pf.conf(5) keywords of the same
name.

* ssh(1): add a "match localnetwork" predicate. This allows matching
on the addresses of available network interfaces and may be used to
vary the effective client configuration based on network location.

* ssh-agent(1): improve isolation between loaded PKCS#11 modules
by running separate ssh-pkcs11-helpers for each loaded provider.

* ssh-agent(1), ssh(1): improve defences against invalid PKCS#11
modules being loaded by checking that the requested module
contains the required symbol before loading it.

* ssh(1): don't incorrectly disable hostname canonicalization when
CanonicalizeHostname=yes and ProxyJump was expicitly set to
"none". bz3567

ssh: update to OpenSSH 9.1p1

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.1

9.1 contains fixes for three minor memory safety problems; these have
lready been merged to the copy of OpenSSH 9.0 that is in the FreeBSD base
system.

Some highlights copied from the release notes:

Potentially-incompatible changes
--------------------------------

* ssh(1), sshd(8): SetEnv directives in ssh_config and sshd_config
are now first-match-wins to match other directives. Previously
if an environment variable was multiply specified the last set
value would have been used. bz3438

* ssh-keygen(8): ssh-keygen -A (generate all default host key types)
will no longer generate DSA keys, as these are insecure and have
not been used by default for some years.

New features
------------

* ssh(1), sshd(8): add a RequiredRSASize directive to set a minimum
RSA key length. Keys below this length will be ignored for user
authentication and for host authentication in sshd(8).

* sftp-server(8): add a "users-groups-by-id@openssh.com" extension
request that allows the client to obtain user/group names that
correspond to a set of uids/gids.

* sftp(1): use "users-groups-by-id@openssh.com" sftp-server
extension (when available) to fill in user/group names for
directory listings.

* sftp-server(8): support the "home-directory" extension request
defined in draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-extensions-00. This overlaps
a bit with the existing "expand-path@openssh.com", but some other
clients support it.

* ssh-keygen(1), sshd(8): allow certificate validity intervals,
sshsig verification times and authorized_keys expiry-time options
to accept dates in the UTC time zone in addition to the default
of interpreting them in the system time zone. YYYYMMDD and
YYMMDDHHMM[SS] dates/times will be interpreted as UTC if suffixed
with a 'Z' character.

Also allow certificate validity intervals to be specified in raw
seconds-since-epoch as hex value, e.g. -V 0x1234:0x4567890. This
is intended for use by regress tests and other tools that call
ssh-keygen as part of a CA workflow. bz3468

* sftp(1): allow arguments to the sftp -D option, e.g. sftp -D
"/usr/libexec/sftp-server -el debug3"

* ssh-keygen(1): allow the existing -U (use agent) flag to work
with "-Y sign" operations, where it will be interpreted to require
that the private keys is hosted in an agent; bz3429

Some highlights:

restricting forwarding and use of keys added to ssh-agent(1)

* ssh(1), sshd(8): add the sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com hybrid
ECDH/x25519 + Streamlined NTRU Prime post-quantum KEX to the
default KEXAlgorithms list (after the ECDH methods but before the
prime-group DH ones). The next release of OpenSSH is likely to
make this key exchange the default method.

* sshd(8), portable OpenSSH only: this release removes in-built
support for MD5-hashed passwords. If you require these on your
system then we recommend linking against libxcrypt or similar.

Future deprecation notice
=========================

A near-future release of OpenSSH will switch scp(1) from using the
legacy scp/rcp protocol to using SFTP by default.

Legacy scp/rcp performs wildcard expansion of remote filenames (e.g.
"scp host:* .") through the remote shell. This has the side effect of
requiring double quoting of shell meta-characters in file names
included on scp(1) command-lines, otherwise they could be interpreted
as shell commands on the remote side.

- sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax.
- ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept the key
fingerprint as a synonym for "yes".
- ssh-keygen(1): when acting as a CA and signing certificates with an RSA
key, default to using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm.
- ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa"
(RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures.
- ssh-sk-helper(8): this is a new binary. It is used by the FIDO/U2F
support to provide address-space isolation for token middleware
libraries (including the internal one).
- ssh(1): this release enables UpdateHostkeys by default subject to some
conservative preconditions.
- scp(1): this release changes the behaviour of remote to remote copies
(e.g. "scp host-a:/path host-b:") to transfer through the local host
by default.
- scp(1): experimental support for transfers using the SFTP protocol as
a replacement for the venerable SCP/RCP protocol that it has
traditionally used.

Additional integration work is needed to support FIDO/U2F in the base
system.

OpenSSH will disable the ssh-rsa signature scheme by default in the
next release.
