RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-8.0p1-3.el8


CASignatureAlgorithms mentions in the manpages claim incorrect default values inherited from upstream.


Steps to reproduce: man ssh_config sshd_config


Actual results:

     CASignatureAlgorithms
             Specifies which algorithms are allowed for signing of certificates by certificate authorities (CAs).
             The default is:

                   ecdsa-sha2-nistp256.ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
                   ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa

             ssh(1) will not accept host certificates signed using algorithms other than those specified.


Expected results:

     CASignatureAlgorithms
             Specifies which algorithms are allowed for signing of certificates by certificate authorities (CAs).
             The default values are configured with crypto-policies(7).
             ssh(1) will not accept host certificates signed using algorithms other than those specified.


Additional info:

As the defaults are dynamic and governed by crypto-policies, we cannot really list them.
But even a passing mention of crypto-policies is better than a inaccurate list.

Successfully verified. See bz#1724195#c11 for more details.
