Patch against CVS

ssh uses an obsolete RRtype to check for signatures on SSHFP records : SIG (RRtype 24) is obsolete for RR signature records since RFC 3755 (see ยง3 there). The minimal patch below fixes the problem by using RRSIG (RRtype 46) instead.
Comment 1 Damien Miller 2007-10-26 16:27:41 AEST
fixed as part of a sync from OpenBSD's getrrsetbyname implementation, which recently picked up a similar change. openssh-4.8 will include this.
Comment 2 Damien Miller 2008-03-31 15:20:39 AEDT
Fix shipped in 4.9/4.9p1 release.
