From: deraadt@openbsd.org Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 04:51:00 +0000 (+0000) Subject: upstream: As defined in the RFC, the SSH protocol has negotiable X-Git-Tag: V_9_9_P1~44 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10ccf611ab8ecba9ce6b0548c5ccd8c1220baf92;p=thirdparty%2Fopenssh-portable.git upstream: As defined in the RFC, the SSH protocol has negotiable compression support (which is requested as the name "zlib"). Compression starts very early in the session. Relative early in OpenSSH lifetime, privsep was added to sshd, and this required a shared-memory hack so the two processes could see what was going on in the dataflow. This shared-memory hack was soon recognized as a tremendous complexity risk, because it put libz (which very much trusts it's memory) in a dangerous place, and a new option ("zlib@openssh.com") was added begins compression after authentication (aka delayed-compression). That change also permitted removal of the shared-memory hack. Despite removal from the server, the old "zlib" support remained in the client, to allow negotiation with non-OpenSSH daemons which lack the delayed-compression option. This commit deletes support for the older "zlib" option in the client. It reduces our featureset in a small way, and encourages other servers to move to a better design. The SSH protocol is different enough that compressed-key-material attacks like BEAST are unlikely, but who wants to take the chance? We encourage other ssh servers who care about optional compression support to add delayed-zlib support. (Some already do "zlib@openssh.com") ok djm markus OpenBSD-Commit-ID: 6df986f38e4ab389f795a6e39e7c6857a763ba72 --- diff --git a/cipher.c b/cipher.c index 9c2fbd6cf..7d6e7d8c6 100644 --- a/cipher.c +++ b/cipher.c @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -/* $OpenBSD: cipher.c,v 1.122 2024/08/14 15:42:18 tobias Exp $ */ +/* $OpenBSD: cipher.c,v 1.123 2024/08/23 04:51:00 deraadt Exp $ */ /* * Author: Tatu Ylonen * Copyright (c) 1995 Tatu Ylonen , Espoo, Finland @@ -143,8 +143,8 @@ const char * compression_alg_list(int compression) { #ifdef WITH_ZLIB - return compression ?
