Security update for ssh-audit (moderate)

An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for ssh-audit fixes the following issues:

ssh-audit was updated to version 2.5.0

• Fixed crash when running host key tests.

• Handles server connection failures more gracefully.

• Now prints JSON with indents when -jj is used (useful for debugging).

• Added MD5 fingerprints to verbose output.

• Added -d/–debug option for getting debugging output.

• Updated JSON output to include MD5 fingerprints. Note that this results
  in a breaking change in the ‘fingerprints’ dictionary format.

• Updated OpenSSH 8.1 (and earlier) policies to include rsa-sha2-512 and
  rsa-sha2-256.

• Added OpenSSH v8.6 & v8.7 policies.

• Added 3 new key exchanges:

  • gss-gex-sha1-eipGX3TCiQSrx573bT1o1Q==
  • gss-group1-sha1-eipGX3TCiQSrx573bT1o1Q==
  • gss-group14-sha1-eipGX3TCiQSrx573bT1o1Q==

• Added 3 new MACs:

  • hmac-ripemd160-96
  • AEAD_AES_128_GCM
  • AEAD_AES_256_GCM

Update to version 2.4.0

• Added multi-threaded scanning support.
• Added version check for OpenSSH user enumeration (CVE-2018-15473).
• Added deprecation note to host key types based on SHA-1.
• Added extra warnings for SSHv1.
• Added built-in hardened OpenSSH v8.5 policy.
• Upgraded warnings to failures for host key types based on SHA-1
• Fixed crash when receiving unexpected response during host key test.
• Fixed hang against older Cisco devices during host key test & gex test.
• Fixed improper termination while scanning multiple targets when
  one target returns an error.
• Dropped support for Python 3.5 (which reached EOL in Sept.2020)
• Added 1 new key exchange: sntrup761x25519-sha512(a)openssh.com.

Update to version 2.3.1

• Now parses public key sizes for rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01(a)openssh.com and
  rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01(a)openssh.com host key types.
• Flag ssh-rsa-cert-v01(a)openssh.com as a failure due to SHA-1 hash.
• Fixed bug in recommendation output which suppressed some algorithms
  inappropriately.
• Built-in policies now include CA key requirements (if certificates are
  in use).
• Lookup function (–lookup) now performs case-insensitive lookups of
  similar algorithms.
• Migrated pre-made policies from external files to internal database.
• Split single 3,500 line script into many files (by class).
• Added setup.py support
• Added 1 new cipher: des-cbc(a)ssh.com.

Update to version 2.3.0

The highlight of this release is support for policy scanning (this allows
an admin to test a server against a hardened/standard configuration).

• Added new policy auditing functionality to test adherence to a hardening
  guide/standard configuration (see -L/–list-policies, -M/–make-policy
  and -P/–policy).
• Created new man page (see ssh-audit.1 file).
• 1024-bit moduli upgraded from warnings to failures.
• Many Python 2 code clean-ups, testing framework improvements, pylint &
  flake8 fixes, and mypy type comments.
• Added feature to look up algorithms in internal database (see --lookup)
• Suppress recommendation of token host key types.
• Added check for use-after-free vulnerability in PuTTY v0.73.
• Added 11 new host key types: ssh-rsa1, ssh-dss-sha256(a)ssh.com,
  ssh-gost2001, ssh-gost2012-256, ssh-gost2012-512, spki-sign-rsa,
  ssh-ed448, x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,
  x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-nistp521, x509v3-rsa2048-sha256.
• Added 8 new key exchanges: diffie-hellman-group1-sha256,
  kexAlgoCurve25519SHA256, Curve25519SHA256, gss-group14-sha256-,
  gss-group15-sha512-, gss-group16-sha512-, gss-nistp256-sha256-,
  gss-curve25519-sha256-.
• Added 5 new ciphers: blowfish, AEAD_AES_128_GCM, AEAD_AES_256_GCM,
  crypticore128(a)ssh.com, seed-cbc(a)ssh.com.
• Added 3 new MACs: chacha20-poly1305(a)openssh.com, hmac-sha3-224,
  crypticore-mac(a)ssh.com.

• Update ssh-audit.keyring
