Bug ID: 1285374
Summary: F23 release notes don't mention that OpenSSH 7.0
disabled ssh-dss public keys by default
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: release-notes
Assignee: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org
Reporter: mstahl(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org

Blocks: 151189 (fc-relnotes-traqr)
Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 upgrades OpenSSH from 6.9 to 7.1, but the release notes
only mention 7.1 and don't mention the default configuration changes that
happened in 7.0, such as the disabling of ssh-dss public keys that may prevent
a login to/from upgraded systems without explicit command line parameters.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Release_Notes/sect-Re...
Actual results:
it only links to 7.1 release notes.
"3.4.2. OpenSSH 7.1
The OpenSSH project continues to improve the security of network communication
with the release of OpenSSH 7.1. See the upstream release notes for detailed
information about this release."
Expected results:
there should be at least a link to the OpenSSH 7.0 release notes too;
possibly explicitly mentioning the disabling of public keys.
http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.0
"Support for ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-* host and user keys is disabled by default
at run-time. To temporarily enable existing host keys, use the command line
option '-oHostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-dss' and to enable existing user keys, use
'-oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=ssh-dss'."
