Name        : openssh
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 6.3p1
Release     : 4.fc20
URL         : http://www.openssh.com/portable.html
Summary     : An open source implementation of SSH protocol versions 1 and 2
Description :
SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing
commands on a remote machine. SSH is intended to replace rlogin and
rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing
it up to date in terms of security and features.

This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH
client and server. To make this package useful, you should also
install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both.

Update Information:

A segmentation fault in public key authentication in FIPS mode was fixed.  sshd-keygen now generates also ECDSA keys if AUTOCREATE_SERVER_KEYS=YES is set in /etc/sysconfig/sshd. For GSSAPI and kerberos authentication, the global default_ccache_name from /etc/krb5.conf is used for a kerberos credentials cache. The size of the Diffie-Hellman groups requested for a each symmetric key size was increased according to NIST 800-57 and RFC4419.
