This change affects both the client and +server components. + +After upgrading to this version, you may have trouble connecting to +older SSH servers that do not support the newer RSA/SHA-256/SHA-512 +signatures. Support for these signatures was added in OpenSSH 7.2. + +As well, you may have trouble using older SSH clients to connect to a +server running OpenSSH 8.8 or higher. Some older clients do not +automatically utilize the newer hashes. For example, PuTTY before +version 0.75 is affected. + +To resolve these problems, please upgrade your SSH client/server +whereever possible. If this is not feasible, support for the SHA-1 +hashes may be re-enabled using the following config options: + +HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa +PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa |
