This is an old bug in libtls\n that will bite, probably starting with OpenSSL 4.2.\n - CRYPTO\\_cleanup\\_all\\_ex\\_data() is now a no-op. It was not thread\n safe and the actual cleanup is now done by [OPENSSL\\_cleanup(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/OPENSSL_cleanup.3).\n - Align [X509\\_check\\_ca(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/X509_check_ca.3) with modern OpenSSL. While it has long been\n documented that it only works after calling\n [X509\\_check\\_purpose(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/X509_check_purpose.3),\n it still makes sense to \"fail closed\", i.e., indicate a non-CA.\n - Added OIDs for CCR, ErikIndex, ErikPartition, ErikSegmentIndex,\n and communityDefinition.\n - Bug fixes:\n - Fix [PKCS7\\_set\\_{un,}signed\\_attributes(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/PKCS7_set_signed_attributes.3) to allow caller to free\n on failure rather than risking a double free.\n - Initialize decode\\_error and invalid\\_key variables in TLS key share\n code to avoid branching on uninitialized memory.\n - Record extension length between type and data in the ClientHello\n hash to ensure identical framing in first and second CH.\n - Fix out of bound writes in the s\\_client XMSS mode.\n - Ensure [EC\\_GROUP\\_check(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/EC_GROUP_check.3) and\n [X509\\_CRL\\_verify(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/X509_CRL_verify.3) failures result in \"app\"\n failures in [openssl(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1)\n ecparam and openssl crl.\n - Do not fail accept on reverse DNS lookup failures in s\\_socket.\n - Ensure [X509V3\\_EXT\\_print(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/X509V3_EXT_print.3) only returns 0 and 1.\n - Avoid calling memcmp() on NULL in IPAddressFamily\\_cmp().\n - In libtls disallow wildcard matching of a TLD specified as a FQDN.\n - Unbreak some aspects of TLSv1.2 with custom curve lists.\n - Ensure a peer-provided EC public key uses uncompressed encoding.\n - Send decode\\_error alert on failure to decode an EC peer pubkey.\n - Avoid NULL dereference and out-of-bounds read in password-based\n CMS decryption.\n - Add some missing bounds check to ASN1\\_mbstrinc\\_copy().\n - Avoid freeing a caller-owned buffer in\n [PKCS7\\_verify(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/PKCS7_verify.3).\n - Remove SSL\\_OP\\_LEGACY\\_SERVER\\_CONNECT from default options.\n - Send illegal parameter alerts for various HelloRetryRequest\n violations.\n - Check that the server selected ciphersuite is valid for use with\n TLSv1.2.\n - Unlock CRYPTO\\_LOCK\\_UI on ui\\_open\\_session() failure to avoid\n a deadlock.\n - Check [HMAC(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/HMAC.3)\n return value to avoid later use of uninitialized\n in [openssl(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1).\n - Use correct alert for key\\_share without supported\\_groups.\n - Don't drop X509\\_V\\_ERR\\_HOSTNAME\\_MISMATCH when verify callback\n returns 1. It has long been documented that this is ill advised\n but some applications still do it.\n - Ensure the server selects an ALPN protocol that we advertised or\n abort the handshake with illegal\\_parameter.\n - Fix streaming of PKCS#7 objects with omitted content.\n - Avoid OOB access due to type confusion in PKCS7\\_stream().\n - Plug leak and various other bugs in asn1\\_multi(), a helper to\n handle sequences and sets in config parsing.\n - Fix RFC 3779 inheritance checks for leaves as far as possible\n without breaking the RPKI. Still allow the immediate issuer to\n omit one of the extensions because otherwise about one third of\n RFC 9286 Manifests would become invalid.\n - Correct a botched size check in dtls1\\_process\\_fragment().\n - Avoid confusing delta CRLs as full CRLs.\n - When copying an RSA-PSS EVP\\_PKEY\\_CTX, ensure saltlen and minimal\n saltlen restrictions are copied rather than using the defaults.\n - Allow DTLS clients to receive unexpected Finished messages.\n - Cache the leaf's extensions before adding it to a validated\n chain to make name constraints check work more reliably.\n - Ensure the whole subject is searched for email addresses and\n common names.\n - Check for embedded NULs in emails and subjectAltname in the\n essentially unused legacy NAME\\_CONSTRAINTS\\_\\*() API.\n - Remove support for nameRelativeToCRLIssuer in the CRL Distribution\n Point extension. Per RFC 5280 it SHOULD not be used by conforming\n CAs and it was eating memory for breakfast pre-signature.\n - Security and reliability fixes:\n - Fix parsing issues in X.509 name constraints URI host parsing.\n Handle IPv6 literals correctly and don't allow specially crafted\n userinfo to bypass host checks.\n - Limit size of buffered DTLS handshake messages to avoid overly\n large memory consumption on small handshake message fragments.\n - Fix an OCSP responder authorization bypass for clients using\n tls\\_config\\_ocsp\\_require\\_stapling(), of which only OpenBSD\n [nc(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1) and\n [ftp(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ftp.1)\n are known when they're used with the \"muststaple\" key word.\n - Testing and proactive security:\n - Improved test coverage for DTLS and TLS renegotiation.\n - Add X.509 CRL regress from pre-Apache2-licensed BoringSSL.\n - Rework the testing framework to be memory based rather than\n file based. Match Go's output format more closely.\n- OpenSSH 10.6:\n - Security fixes:\n - Disabled [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) LZ77 dictionary coder to avoid a potential side-channel leak.\n - Fixed ChannelTimeout and RekeyLimit not being applied in [sshd\\_config(5)](https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5).\n - Made [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) authorized\\_keys \"restrict\" keyword apply correctly to tunnel forwarding.\n - Potentially incompatible changes:\n - Use IANA allocated codepoint for ssh-mldsa44-ed25519 instead of '@openssh.com'.\n - Made [sshd\\_config(5)](https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5) DisableForwarding=yes override PermitTunnel=yes.\n - Enforce a maximum size for usernames in [ssh-agent(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1) agent key use constraints.\n - Disallow NUL byte in [scp(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1) '-O filename'.\n - New features:\n - New [ssh-add(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-add.1) option '-P' to skip PIN entry (bz3635).\n - [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) signal handling with [readpassphrase(3)](https://man.openbsd.org/readpassphrase.3) fixed.\n - Switched [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) from supercop ed25519 to libsodium.\n - Extended [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) TCPKeepAlive to support forwardings (bz3921).\n - Added [ssh-keygen(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1) 'hexdump' to dump the key blob in hex format.\n - Allow setting/clearing [ssh-keygen(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1) touch-required/verify-required flags on FIDO private keys when resetting the passphrase.\n - Added [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) '-Z user@host' mode that lists pubkeys that will be tried for authentication.\n - Added experimental [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) support for composite post-quantum mldsa44-ed25519 signature scheme.\n - Added an explicit-seed variant of the [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) keygen function.\n - Added signature malleability and pubkey validity checks to [sshd(8)](https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8) ed25519 verification.\n - Bugfixes:\n - Check [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) compressed payloads don't inflate beyond the maximum payload length.\n - Avoid race between multiple [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) processes establishing multiplexing control socket.\n - Plugged memory leak in [ssh-add(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-add.1) (CID 913600).\n - Fix for [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) CIDs 913601 and 913602.\n - Fix for [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) CID 913600.\n - Converted [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) channel timeouts to allow fractional and subsecond timeouts.\n - Made [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) masking signals correctly use sigaddset (bz3981).\n - Fixed [ssh(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1) memleaks (CID 913598 and 913599);
