libssh2 1.4.3 libssh2 1.5.0
This release includes the following changes: This release includes the following changes:
o compression: add support for zlib@openssh.com o Added Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation based backend
This release includes the following bugfixes: This release includes the following bugfixes:
o sftp_read: return error if a too large package arrives o missing _libssh2_error in _libssh2_channel_write
o libssh2_hostkey_hash.3: update the description of return value o knownhost: Fix DSS keys being detected as unknown.
o Fixed MSVC NMakefile o knownhost: Restore behaviour of `libssh2_knownhost_writeline` with short buffer.
o examples: use stderr for messages, stdout for data o libssh2.h: on Windows, a socket is of type SOCKET, not int
o openssl: do not leak memory when handling errors o libssh2_priv.h: a 1 bit bit-field should be unsigned
o improved handling of disabled MD5 algorithm in OpenSSL o windows build: do not export externals from static library
o known_hosts: Fail when parsing unknown keys in known_hosts file o Fixed two potential use-after-frees of the payload buffer
o configure: gcrypt doesn't come with pkg-config support o Fixed a few memory leaks in error paths
o session_free: wrong variable used for keeping state o userauth: Fixed an attempt to free from stack on error
o libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile_ex.3: mention publickey == NULL o agent_list_identities: Fixed memory leak on OOM
o comp_method_zlib_decomp: handle Z_BUF_ERROR when inflating o knownhosts: Abort if the hosts buffer is too small
o sftp_close_handle: ensure the handle is always closed
o channel_close: Close the channel even in the case of errors
o docs: added missing libssh2_session_handshake.3 file
o docs: fixed a bunch of typos
o userauth_password: pass on the underlying error code
o _libssh2_channel_forward_cancel: accessed struct after free
o _libssh2_packet_add: avoid using uninitialized memory
o _libssh2_channel_forward_cancel: avoid memory leaks on error
o _libssh2_channel_write: client spins on write when window full
o windows build: fix build errors
o publickey_packet_receive: avoid junk in returned pointers
o channel_receive_window_adjust: store windows size always
o userauth_hostbased_fromfile: zero assign to avoid uninitialized use
o configure: change LIBS not LDFLAGS when checking for libs
o agent_connect_unix: make sure there's a trailing zero
o MinGW build: Fixed redefine warnings.
o sftpdir.c: added authentication method detection.
o Watcom build: added support for WinCNG build.
o configure.ac: replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
o sftp_statvfs: fix for servers not supporting statfvs extension
o knownhost.c: use LIBSSH2_FREE macro instead of free
o Fixed compilation using mingw-w64
o knownhost.c: fixed that 'key_type_len' may be used uninitialized
o configure: Display individual crypto backends on separate lines
o examples on Windows: check for WSAStartup return code
o examples on Windows: check for socket return code
o agent.c: check return code of MapViewOfFile
o kex.c: fix possible NULL pointer de-reference with session->kex
o packet.c: fix possible NULL pointer de-reference within listen_state
o tests on Windows: check for WSAStartup return code
o userauth.c: improve readability and clarity of for-loops
o examples on Windows: use native SOCKET-type instead of int
o packet.c: i < 256 was always true and i would overflow to 0
o kex.c: make sure mlist is not set to NULL
o session.c: check return value of session_nonblock in debug mode
o session.c: check return value of session_nonblock during startup
o userauth.c: make sure that sp_len is positive and avoid overflows
o knownhost.c: fix use of uninitialized argument variable wrote
o openssl: initialise the digest context before calling EVP_DigestInit()
o libssh2_agent_init: init ->fd to LIBSSH2_INVALID_SOCKET
o configure.ac: Add zlib to Requires.private in libssh2.pc if using zlib
o configure.ac: Rework crypto library detection
o configure.ac: Reorder --with-* options in --help output
o configure.ac: Call zlib zlib and not libz in text but keep option names
o Fix non-autotools builds: Always define the LIBSSH2_OPENSSL CPP macro
o sftp: seek: Don't flush buffers on same offset
o sftp: statvfs: Along error path, reset the correct 'state' variable.
o sftp: Add support for fsync (OpenSSH extension).
o _libssh2_channel_read: fix data drop when out of window
o comp_method_zlib_decomp: Improve buffer growing algorithm
o _libssh2_channel_read: Honour window_size_initial
o window_size: redid window handling for flow control reasons
o knownhosts: handle unknown key types
