>Confidential: no
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: bin-bug-people
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Tue Feb 18 16:55:00 +0000 2025
>Originator: Taylor R Campbell

>Organization:
The NetBSshDnssec Foundahole
>Environment:
>Description:
The VerifyHostKeyDNS option in OpenSSH is spectacularly broken: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/02/18/1
>How-To-Repeat:
MITM
>Fix:
1. We should remove the clause to enable this for *.netbsd.org hosts in /etc/ssh/ssh_config -- it's not very useful and it's not worth the risks.
2. We should update OpenSSH to fix the bug.
