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.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.`crypto-policies` now support `sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com` This update of the system-wide cryptographic policies adds support for the `sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com` key exchange (KEX) method. The post-quantum `sntrup761` algorithm is already available in the OpenSSH suite, and this method provides better security against attacks from quantum computers. To enable `sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com`, create and apply a subpolicy, for example: ---- # echo 'key_exchange = +SNTRUP' > /etc/crypto-policies/policies/modules/SNTRUP.pmod # update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SNTRUP ---- For more information, see the link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/security_hardening/using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies_security-hardening#customizing-system-wide-cryptographic-policies-with-subpolicies_using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies[Customizing system-wide cryptographic policies with subpolicies] section in the RHEL 9 Security hardening document.

Description Pablo Mendez Hernandez 2022-03-31 14:00:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

It'd be very convenient to be able to have 'sntrup761x25519-sha512'
as a Kex algorithm.

OpenSSH already has support for it the version shipped in RHEL 9.0 and
will be the default in the next OpenSSH version (>8.9) as per:

https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/0726d1207d0c034cb9acde3ff0b12c3afc772e37


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect using that Kex algorithm:
$ ssh -vvv -o KexAlgorithms=sntrup761x25519-sha512 ${DESTINATION}


Actual results:

. . .
debug2: local client KEXINIT proposal
debug2: KEX algorithms: sntrup761x25519-sha512,ext-info-c
. . .
debug2: peer server KEXINIT proposal
