Public bug reported: A patch for 6.6p1 was posted on the openssh list fixing a bug in the 25519 negotiation and changing the reported version to 6.6.1p1.
Future versions of openssh, version 6.6.1p1 itself, and other ssh software, such as libssh, will refuse to speak 25519 to anything which identifies itself as openssh 6.6p1or 6.5p1. The patch was posted for the express purpose of providing an easy update for 6.6p1 to avoid this bug. Debian has updated sid to 6.6.1p1, and that should copy over to jessie soon. You can see their git for the details. Both utopic and trusty should get this update quickly. And in trusty itself, not just -updates or -backports; notwithstanding the edit to the reported version it is a bug fix for 6.6p1. Any backports or updates repos which have 6.6p1 also should get the update to 6.6.1p1. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313865 Title: Need to update 6.6p1 to 6.6.1p1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1313865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
