Fixes: 1003 1019 1027 1036 1079
Changes: 
 x2goclient (4.0.5.2-0x2go1) RELEASED; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Klaus Ade Johnstad ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.5.2):
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_nb_no.ts: update Bokmål (Norway) translation file.
 .
   [ Mihai Moldovan ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.5.2):
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_nb_no.ts: fixup translation by respecting the
       original messages' format, typo fixes and other changes.
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_fi.ts: fixup translation by respecting the original
       messages' format and other changes.
     - src/{ongetpass,onmainwindow}.cpp: fixup QPlastiqueStyle usage on Qt5.
       This particular style has been removed/replaced by Fusion, which
       incorporates features of both Plastique and Clearlooks styles.
     - x2goclient.spec: whitespace only.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add (default) MacPorts prefix, /usr/local/bin and
       /opt/X11/bin to x2goclient's environment and child environments before
       starting xmodmap. Fixes: #1019. Requires a re-release of X2Go Client for
       OS X.
     - src/x2goutils.{cpp,h}: add new function add_to_path () to add multiple
       entries to a PATH-like string if they do not exist in there yet.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: replace old code to modify the PATH value with the
       new add_to_path () function.
     - src/{onmainwindow,sshmasterconnection}.cpp: refactoring and whitespace only
       changes following up the #1027 patch.
     - src/onmainwindow.h: add new enum for selecting SSH host key types.
     - src/onmainwindow.h: rename ONMainWindow::generateHostDsaKey () to
       ONMainWindow::generateHostKey () and make key type selectible. Fixes:
       #1003. Host key type selection currently only works within the code. Replace
       calls to former ONMainWindow::generateHostDsaKey () with the generalized
       function and request an RSA-type key.
     - src/help.cpp: actually make help descriptions translatable. Looks ugly
       and is cumbersome to use, but there seems to be no other way to do
       that...
     - src/help.h: typo fix in comment only.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add some comments related to maybe using
       add_to_path ().
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: work around changed SSH host key locations in OS X
       10.11+. Fixes: #1079. Also check /etc/ssh/ for keys.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: fix last commit by using QFileInfo instead of
       QDir. This lets us use the exists () member function correctly.
     - {nsis/x2goclient.nsi,res/i18n/x2goclient_{da,es,et,fi,nl,zh_tw}.ts}:
       replace left-overs of "X2go" with the correct "X2Go" spelling.
       This mostly touches obsolete strings and file names, that need to be
       cleaned, but it's still worthwhile to not have it show up when searching
       for the old string. Given that NTFS is normally case-insensitive,
       removing the files will still work.
   * debian/control:
     - Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev@lists.x2go.org>.
     - Uploaders: add myself. Also, force a rebuild due to the changed
       versioning.
 .
   [ Mike DePaulo ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.5.2):
     - Windows: add sshd debug1 logging when using the --debug flag.
     - Windows: Revert back to Cygwin components that have not been
       "rebased"
     - Windows: Update PuTTY from 0.66 to 0.67, which fixes
       CVE-2016-2563.
     - Windows: Update bundled Win32 OpenSSL from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1t,
       which fixes the multiple CVEs announced on 2016-01-28,

   [ Tor Perkins ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.5.2):
     - src/{onmainwindow,sshmasterconnection}.{cpp,h}: add support for ANSI
       X9.9 OTP tokens. Fixes: #1027. For this to work correctly, the challenge
       string needs to be displayed to the user.
     - src/sshmasterconnection.cpp: add support for Mobile OTP tokens and
       references for the other token types. Fixes: #1036.
 .
   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]

     - add "--no-autoresume" parameter.

Subject: x2goclient sshd (for folder sharing) weak host key

Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 15:39:15 +0100

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2goclient

The sshd (sshd.exe) spawned by x2goclient for things like the folder
sharing is creating a DSA HostKey.

Even if this sshd is only listening on localhost and is accessed through
the ssh tunnel from the X2Go server this might lead to connections
errors if the ssh_config of the server is configured to not allow
connections to these weak (1024 bit) DSA HostKeys.

I would advice increasing this to at least 2048 bit RSA host keys or
even elliptic curve host keys if available.
