Update description:
Security fixes from et 7.1.x, backported to 6.2.11, and telemetry
disabled.
Security fixes (backported from et 7.1.0 and 7.1.1, one commit
per upstream fix; see
https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/issues/923):
- Pre-authentication denial of service: stuck or silent peers, slow
reconnects and accept() resource exhaustion could block or crash
etserver for every user
- etserver and the router no longer abort on malformed packets or
registrations
- Router session ownership is taken from the kernel's peer
credentials, and both ends of the Unix HTM control socket are
authenticated
- etserver no longer does root file operations or connections on
Unix socket paths chosen by the client
Telemetry disabled (CVE-2023-23558):
et is now built with telemetry disabled on all architectures. This
removes the bundled sentry-native and its fixed paths in /tmp, and
drops the libcurl dependency. The default /etc/et.cfg now says
telemetry = false. An existing et.cfg that still says
telemetry = true is harmless: the setting does nothing in this
build.
Packaging: the bundled() Provides and License: now match the
bundled libraries actually shipped.
Note: this update stays on 6.2.11, which keeps the 6.x command-line
options. et 7.x changes several short options to match OpenSSH, so
it is only in Rawhide.
