- Version update to 8.8p1:
  = Security
  * sshd(8) from OpenSSH 6.2 through 8.7 failed to correctly initialise
    supplemental groups when executing an AuthorizedKeysCommand or
    AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand, where a AuthorizedKeysCommandUser or
    AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser directive has been set to run the
    command as a different user. Instead these commands would inherit
    the groups that sshd(8) was started with.
    Depending on system configuration, inherited groups may allow
    AuthorizedKeysCommand/AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand helper programs to
    gain unintended privilege.
    Neither AuthorizedKeysCommand nor AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand are
    enabled by default in sshd_config(5).
  = Potentially-incompatible changes
  * This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm
    by default. This change has been made as the SHA-1 hash algorithm is
    cryptographically broken, and it is possible to create chosen-prefix
    hash collisions for <USD$50K.
    For most users, this change should be invisible and there is
    no need to replace ssh-rsa keys. OpenSSH has supported RFC8332
    RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures since release 7.2 and existing ssh-rsa keys
    will automatically use the stronger algorithm where possible.
    Incompatibility is more likely when connecting to older SSH
    implementations that have not been upgraded or have not closely tracked
    improvements in the SSH protocol. For these cases, it may be necessary
    to selectively re-enable RSA/SHA1 to allow connection and/or user
