Updated: OpenSSH-5.8p1-1

[Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

I've just updated the Cygwin version of OpenSSH to 5.8p1-1.

This is an upstream security and bugfix release.

The Cygwin release additionally contains a patch to the ssh-host-config
and ssh-user-config scripts which additionally asks to create the new
ECDSA key type.  The patch has not yet been applied to the upstream
repository.

The official release message for 5.8p1:

====================================================================
OpenSSH 5.8 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed
code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots or donated to the
project. More information on donations may be found at:
http://www.openssh.com/donations.html

Changes since OpenSSH 5.7
=========================

Security:

 * Fix vulnerability in legacy certificate signing introduced in
   OpenSSH-5.6 and found by Mateusz Kocielski.

   Legacy certificates signed by OpenSSH 5.6 or 5.7 included data from
   the stack in place of a random nonce field. The contents of the stack
   do not appear to contain private data at this point, but this cannot
   be stated with certainty for all platform, library and compiler
   combinations. In particular, there exists a risk that some bytes from
   the privileged CA key may be accidentally included.

   A full advisory for this issue is available at:
   http://www.openssh.com/txt/legacy-cert.adv

Portable OpenSSH Bugfixes:

 * Fix compilation failure when enableing SELinux support.

 * Do not attempt to call SELinux functions when SELinux is disabled.
