[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.2.3p1-1


I've updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.2.3p1-1.

This is a official bug fix release.

Official Release Message:
====================================================================
OpenSSH 3.2.3 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued
support and encouragement.


Changes since OpenSSH 3.2.2:
============================

  This release fixes several problems in OpenSSH 3.2.2:

    - a defect in the BSD_AUTH access control handling for
      OpenBSD and BSD/OS systems:

      Under certain conditions, on systems using YP with netgroups
      in the password database, it is possible that sshd does ACL
      checks for the requested user name but uses the password
      database entry of a different user for authentication. This
      means that denied users might authenticate successfully while
      permitted users could be locked out (OpenBSD PR 2659).

    - login/tty problems on Solaris (bug #245)

    - build problems on Cygwin systems


Changes between OpenSSH 3.1 and OpenSSH 3.2.2:
==============================================

  Security Changes:
  =================

  - fixed buffer overflow in Kerberos/AFS token passing
  - fixed overflow in Kerberos client code
  - sshd no longer auto-enables Kerberos/AFS
  - experimental support for privilege separation,
    see UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd(8) and
          http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html
    for more information.
  - only accept RSA keys of size SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE (768) or larger

  Other Changes:
  ==============

  - improved smartcard support (including support for OpenSC,
    see www.opensc.org)
  - improved Kerberos support (including support for MIT-Kerberos V)
  - fixed stderr handling in protocol v2
  - client reports failure if -R style TCP forwarding fails in protocol v2
  - support configuration of TCP forwarding during interactive sessions (~C)
  - improved support for older sftp servers
  - improved support for importing old DSA keys (from ssh.com software).
  - client side suport for PASSWD_CHANGEREQ in protocol v2
  - fixed waitpid race conditions
  - record correct lastlogin time

====================================================================

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.  The, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka
cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a
reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@sources.redhat.com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
