Title: OpenSSH 7.7 -w tunnel bug Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in openssh source package in Cosmic: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] A regression in OpenSSH 7.7 breaks tunnelling via the -w switch in the ssh command. [Test Case] # lxc launch ubuntu:cosmic tester && lxc exec tester bash # apt update && \ apt dist-upgrade -y && \ sed -i 's/PasswordAuthentication no/PasswordAuthentication yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config && \ service sshd restart && \ echo ubuntu:ubuntu | chpasswd # ssh -w any ubuntu@localhost ubuntu@localhost's password: Tunnel device open failed. Could not request tunnel forwarding. [Regression Potential] This is already fixed and tested upstream, and thus has little regression potential. [Original Description] Just upgraded to cosmic, which picks up OpenSSH 7.7. OpenSSH 7.7 has known bug https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2855 which is fixed in OpenSSH 7.8. It's a regression that completely breaks -w tunneling. The OpenSSH bug contains a trivial two-line patch to fix the bug. I downloaded the Ubuntu openssh package source, applied the patch and rebuilt, and can confirm that is does fix the problem. Any chance we could get this patch backported to Cosmic?
