Does pfsense have a old outdated SSHD version, and how to update it?
-
The short answer is no. But it will be in the next release: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/8e28d84935f2f0ee081d44f9803f3052b960e50b
However you should be able to tell the client to connect to it anyway.

@stephenw10 OK, Thanks for the info, its no issue for me, as I only have allowed to connect to my pfsense via SSH by the LAN side, just been curious and wondered about the warning! Thank you
-
This message is truly bizarre to me as pfsense should have sntrup761x25519-sha512 already . . .
-
@zcrayfish It happened, after I updated my MacPorts stuff, and I saw also that OpenSSH has been updatet last week, since then, I get this message. But its not worrying me, as I only connect from LAN side via ssh to my pfsense. As stephenw10 said, it will be updatet with the next release. Cheers, by the way, I have also a ubuntu server which i often connect to via ssh, and there, the message doesnt appear ( I keep it always up to date).

@zcrayfish It appears to, but the script that generates sshd_config at boot does not include either PQ algorithm.
-
Mmm, looks like it should be added I agree. Let's see.....
Edit already a feature request open: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16423

Seems to work fine. Here's a patch if you want to test it: 1252.diff

@stephenw10 Thank you for your effort! Excuse me my silly question, do I have to execute your mentioned Patch 1252.diff in shell of pfsense? I downloaded it already... but not sure, what to do with it...or if a file needs to be patched... ?

Install the System Patches package and then add it as a new patch.

@stephenw10 The Patch works, I did it like you said, and restarted sshd, now, when I login via ssh, the message:
** WARNING: connection is not using a post-quantum key exchange algorithm.
** This session may be vulnerable to "store now, decrypt later" attacks.
** The server may need to be upgraded. See https://openssh.com/pq.htmlDoesnt appear anymore! Wonderfull, wished I could give a thumbs up..but Im not allowed to...Big Thanks again!

Nice! Thanks for testing.
