Subject: [PATCH] input-xen: replace "enable LEGACY crypto" advice with
|
|
targeted ssh options
|
|
|
|
- "KexAlgorithms": the Fedora 35 ssh binary, using the DEFAULT
|
|
crypto-policy, cannot log in to RHEL5 sshd without relaxing
|
|
"KexAlgorithms". The server offers three algorithms:
|
|
"diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1", "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1",
|
|
"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1"; and according to RFC 9142,
|
|
"diffie-hellman-group14-sha1" is the least deprecated from those. (The
|
|
RFC marks it as MAY be implemented, and marks the other two as SHOULD
|
|
NOT be implemented.) Recommend "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1".
|
|
|
|
- "MACs": the Fedora 35 ssh binary, using the FUTURE crypto-policy, cannot
|
|
log in to RHEL5 sshd without relaxing "MACs". The server offers
|
|
"hmac-md5", "hmac-sha1", "hmac-ripemd160", "hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com",
|
|
"hmac-sha1-96", "hmac-md5-96". After eliminating the MD5-based algos
|
|
(MD5 is considered completely broken), and the one based on truncated
|
|
SHA1, we're left with "hmac-sha1", "hmac-ripemd160", and
|
|
"hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com". RIPEMD-160 is generally trusted, but it is
|
|
compiled out of the Fedora 35 "ssh" client binary. Therefore only
|
|
"hmac-sha1" remains.
|
|
|
|
- "HostKeyAlgorithms", "PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms": these options control
|
|
the usage of public key algorithms, for authenticating the server to the
|
|
client, and vice versa, respectively. RHEL5 sshd only supports "ssh-rsa"
|
|
and "ssh-dss", and from those, "ssh-rsa" is more commonly used (for
|
|
example, "ssh-keygen" defaults to creating "ssh-rsa" keys). Recommend
|
|
"ssh-rsa".
|
|
|
|
- "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes": this is the old ("legacy") name for
|
|
"PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms". As of this writing, the latest upstream
|
|
release of libssh (also packaged in Fedora 35 -- libssh-0.9.6-1.fc35)
|
|
does not recognize the new "PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms" option name, only
|
|
the original "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes". openssh-8.7p1-3.fc35 recognizes
|
|
both option variants. Include "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes" in the
|
|
recommendation along with "PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms", for backward and
|
|
forward compatbility.
