Description:

This update for openssh fixes the following issues:

  • Switch to use the openssl "SSH" Key Derivation Function (SSH KDF) (jsc#SLE-9443 bsc#1161997).

This performs key derivation using OpenSSL's SSHKDF facility, which allows OpenSSH to benefit from the former's FIPS certification status.

This key derivation function uses FIPS 140-2 certified algorithms.
