Bug ID: 2279
Summary: ListenAddress option does not allow IPv6 link-local
addresses
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.6p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When a link-local address is used with ListenAddress, the resulting
bind() will fail with error as per the following log entry:
error: Bind to port 22 on fe80::202:5555:fe01:dddd failed: Invalid
argument.
When using link-local, the sin6_scope_id must be set to specify which
interface should be used with the link-local address. There does not
appear to be any handling for this in server_listen() function.
I believe the ListenAddress should allow a link-local with %<zone_id>
allowing the interface name or index to be specified as per RFC4007.
The specified interface needs to then result in a sin6_scope_id
assignment prior to the bind() in server_listen(). (Since the
inclusion of an interface name would result in longer strings, the code
needs to be checked that longer addresses with ListenAddress will be
accepted.) The if_nametoindex() function may be needed to convert an
interface name into its respective index which gets used as the
sin6_scope_id value.
