OpenSSH 4.2 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 of the project, especially those who contributed source,

reported bugs, tested snapshots and purchased T-shirts or posters.
T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project. Pictures

Changes since OpenSSH 4.1:

============================ 
  - SECURITY: Fix a bug introduced in OpenSSH 4.0 that caused

    GatewayPorts to be incorrectly activated for dynamic ("-D") port

    forwardings when no listen address was explicitly specified.
  - SECURITY: sshd in OpenSSH versions prior to 4.2 allow GSSAPI

    credentials to be delegated to users who log in with methods

    other than GSSAPI authentication (e.g. public key) when the

    client requests it. This behaviour has been changed in OpenSSH

    4.2 to only delegate credentials to users who authenticate

    using the GSSAPI method. This eliminates the risk of credentials

    being inadvertently exposed to an untrusted user/host (though

    users should not activate GSSAPIDelegateCredentials to begin

    with when the remote user or host is untrusted)
  - Added a new compression method that delays the start of zlib

    compression until the user has been authenticated successfully.

    The new method ("Compression delayed") is on by default in the

    server. This eliminates the risk of any zlib vulnerability

    leading to a compromise of the server from unauthenticated users.
    NB. Older OpenSSH (<3.5) versions have a bug that will cause them

    to refuse to connect to any server that does not offer compression

    when the client has compression requested. Since the new "delayed"

    server mode isn't supported by these older clients, they will

    refuse to connect to a new server unless compression is disabled

    (on the client end) or the original compression method is enabled

    on the server ("Compression yes" in sshd_config)
  - Another round of proactive changes for signed vs unsigned integer

    bugs has been completed, including changing the atomicio() API to

    encourage safer programming. This work is ongoing.
  - Added support for the improved arcfour cipher modes from

    draft-harris-ssh-arcfour-fixes-02. The improves the cipher's

    resistance to a number of attacks by discarding early keystream

    output.
  - Increase the default size of new RSA/DSA keys generated by

    ssh-keygen from 1024 to 2048 bits.
  - Many bugfixes and improvements to connection multiplexing,

    including:
    - Added ControlMaster=auto/autoask options to support opportunistic

      multiplexing (see the ssh_config(5) manpage for details).
    - The client will now gracefully fallback to starting a new TCP

      connection if it cannot connect to a specified multiplexing

      control socket
    - Added %h (target hostname), %p (target port) and %r (remote

      username) expansion sequences to ControlPath. Also allow

      ControlPath=none to disable connection multiplexing.
    - Implemented support for X11 and agent forwarding over multiplexed

      connections. Because of protocol limitations, the slave

      connections inherit the master's DISPLAY and SSH_AUTH_SOCK rather

      than distinctly forwarding their own.
  - Portable OpenSSH: Added support for long passwords (> 8-char) on

    UnixWare 7.
  - The following bugs from http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ were closed:
     #471  - Misleading error message if /dev/tty perms wrong

     #623  - Don't use $HOME in manpages

     #829  - Don't allocate a tty if -n option is set

     #1025 - Correctly handle disabled special character in ttymodes

     #1033 - Fix compile-time warnings

     #1046 - AIX 5.3 Garbage on Login

     #1054 - Don't terminate connection on getpeername() failure

     #1076 - GSSAPIDelegateCredentials issue mentioned above
  - Lots of other improvements and fixes. Please refer to the ChangeLog

    for details
Thanks to everyone who has contributed patches, problem or test reports.
