Bug 770916 – net-misc/dropbear-2020.81-r2 stabilization request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Duchesne 2021-02-16 09:52:04 UTC]

Please stabilize net-misc/dropbear-2020.81-r2

2020.81 - 29 October 2020

- Fix regression in 2020.79 which prevented connecting with some SSH 
  implementations. Increase MAX_PROPOSED_ALGO to 50, and print a log 
  message if the limit is hit. This fixes interoperability with sshj 
  library (used by PyCharm), and GoAnywhere.
  Reported by Pirmin Walthert and Piotr Jurkiewicz

- Fix building with non-GCC compilers, reported by Kazuo Kuroi

- Fix potential long delay in dbclient, found by OSS Fuzz

- Fix null pointer dereference crash, found by OSS Fuzz

- libtommath now uses the same random source as Dropbear (in 2020.79 
  and 2020.80 used getrandom() separately)

- Some fuzzing improvements, start of a dbclient fuzzer

thanks

It's only _just_ turning ready - on 17th January, I fixed the debundling of libtom. But sure.

There is no hurry indeed. I've thought it would be good since 2020.80 fails to build with gcc 10.x.x, I forgot to mention it.
Around gcc 10 stabilization then maybe ?

On a side note, I'm very pleased that almost all my packages are building fine with gcc 10, I wanted to try it a bit early.
