Nicola Murino a4d1237429 ssh/knownhosts: improve IPv6 support in Normalize
Correctly converts bracketed IPv6:

- [abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd] => abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd
- [abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd]:22 => abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd
- [abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd]:23 => [abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd]:23

Fixes golang/go#53463

Carlos A Becker 6b853fbea3 ssh/knownhosts: check more than one key
I believe this fixes https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36126 .

The problem was that it was keeping only the first known key of each
type found.
If you have a server advertising multiple keys of the same type,
you might get a missmatch key error.

Per sshd(8) man page, it should allow reapeatable hosts with
different host keys, although it don't specify anything about
hosts being from different types:

"It is permissible (but not recommended) to have several lines or
different host keys for the same names.  This will inevitably happen when
short forms of host names from different domains are put in the file.  It
is possible that the files contain conflicting information;
authentication is accepted if valid information can be found from either
file."

So, this changes knownhosts behavior to accept any of the keys for a
given host, regardless of type.

Fixes #36126

Han-Wen Nienhuys beb2a9779c ssh/knownhosts: disregard IP address if the hostname is available
This fixes the following vulnerability scenario:

* Victim logs into SAFE-HOST on SAFE-IP-ADDRESS regularly.

* Victim is cajoled into connecting to attacker controlled
  ATTACK-HOST, on ATTACK-IP-ADDRESS. ATTACK-HOST uses a different host
  key type (e.g. Ed25519 vs RSA). The new key is added at the end of
  known_hosts.

* Attacker makes DNS system return ATTACK-IP-ADDRESS for SAFE-HOST.

* Victim logs into SAFE-HOST, but is not warned because the host key
  matches ATTACK-IP-ADDRESS.

For this attack to work, the key type has to be different, because
knownhosts gives precedence to the first key found for each type. Add
a test that asserts this behavior.

The new semantics simplify the code, but callers that modify
.ssh/known_host interactviely must now take an extra step to remain
OpenSSH compatible: on successful login, the IP address must be
checked without hostname, and if it is not known, added separately to
the known_hosts file, so future logins that use an IP address only
will be protected too.

Thanks to Daniel Parks <security@demonhorse.net> for finding this
vulnerability.

Kevin Burke e8f229864d all: fix errors reported by vet, golint
None are "wrong" per se, but there are a lot of good suggestions and
in one case a docstring that was not present in godoc due to the
presence of an extra newline.

Changed "Id" in struct properties to "ID" in some non-exported
structs. Removed a trailing period from some error messages; I believe
the exact contents of error strings are not covered by the Go
compatibility promise.

Peter Moody 527d12e535 ssh/knownhosts: add IsHostAuthority.
This is a breaking change.

This adds a new hostkey callback which takes the hostname field
restrictions into account when validating host certificates.

Prior to this, a known_hosts file with the following entry

  @cert-authority *.example.com ssh-rsa <example.com public key>

would, when passed to knownhosts.New() generate an ssh.HostKeyCallback
that would accept all host certificates signed by the example.com public
key, no matter what host the client was connecting to.

After this change, that known_hosts entry can only be used to validate
host certificates presented when connecting to hosts under *.example.com

This also renames IsAuthority to IsUserAuthority to make its intended
purpose more clear.

Joe Tsai efac7f277b ssh/knownhosts: fix variable reuse bug in checkAddrs
Consider the following code:
	var p *int
	a := []int{0, 1, 2, 3}
	for _, i := range a {
		if i == 1 {
			p = &i
		}
	}
	fmt.Println(*p) // Prints 3

This prints 3 because the variable i is the exact same variable across
all iterations of the loop. When the address is taken for some specific
iteration, the user's intent is to capture the value of i at that
given loop, but instead the value of i in the last loop is what remains.

A bug this sort occurs in the check logic since the address of the
knownKey is taken, but is changed upon subsequent iterations of the
loop (which happens when there are multiple lines).
