Secure Shell (dev) 0.8.36.0 released

[Mike Frysinger]

i've just released Secure Shell (dev) 0.8.36.0 which upgrades openssh to 7.5p1 and culls some dead/obsolete JS code.  you should be able to access systems using ECDSA/ED25519 keys now.  woo!

the downside is that the NaCl files have grown a bit (about 1.5MB per .nexe).  i have a change in flight to only release stripped versions though which should cut the sizes significantly, so look for that in a future release.

Secure Shell (nassh) ChangeLog:

# 0.8.36.0, 2017-03-31, cleanup + openssh upgrade.

* Upgraded openssh from 6.6p1 to 7.5p1.  Notably, support for ECDSA/ED25519.

* Fixed handling of errno values in NaCl plugin for clearer errors.

* Auto register ourselves as ssh:// protocol handler.

* Add protip for ctrl+clicking links to startup message.

* Cleanup obsolete CSS variable hacks.

* Drop support for Chrome <22 versions.

* Drop wash hooks from the manifest.

After this upgrade I cannot log in to a server using a public key pair.  I get the following messages:

Connecting to xx...@xxxxxxxxx.xxx...
Loading NaCl plugin... done.
Load key "/.ssh/id_rsa": file changed while reading
Permission denied (publickey).
NaCl plugin exited with status code 255.

I've removed all keys and reloaded - this makes no difference.  I also see the same error when trying to mount SFTP

I'm also getting this error too. I did have to update chromeos in order to install this version, so not sure which was the cause in my case

I am seeing the same error, as well.

I tried the same steps as Hendrik, removing my keys, killing all instances of the extension, readding them, to no avail.

Additionally, I (temporarily) switched back to "tab" mode (from "window" mode), and watched the JS console (set to verbose) and network tab while attempting connection(s), and did not see any pertinent information as to what's occurring to cause the error.

Looking forward to a fix, as I use SSH on my Chromebook daily.

Thanks for the awesome work, chromium team!

looks like a bug in upstream openssh that our ppapi FS stubs tickled.  we probably should make our stat logic a bit more full featured, but openssh should also not be buggy :).

for future reference, please file bug reports using crbug.com/new.  i've moved this to https://crbug.com/707941.
