PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH v9.4.0.0p1-Beta

on GitHub

This is a beta-release (non-production ready)

This release includes:

• Upstream changes from OpenSSH 9.3p2 and OpenSSH 9.4.

• Breaking changes - see upstream release notes for more information:

  • the ssh-agent will now refuse requests to load PKCS#11 modules issued by remote clients by default. A flag has been added to restore the previous behavior "-Oallow-remote-pkcs11".

• Security Fixes:

  • the sshd service will check the $env:ProgramData\ssh folder permissions upon startup to ensure only SYSTEM and Administrator accounts have write access to the folder; similar to the existing check upon install in contrib\win32\openssh\install-sshd.ps1.

• Non-Security Fixes:

  • Upgrade to LibreSSL 3.7.3. Please refer to https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.7.3-relnotes.txt
  • Upgrade to ZLib 1.3. Please refer to http://zlib.net/
  • Fix #2125 - thanks @samhocevar!
  • Fix datatype mismatch - thanks @s911415!
