Title:
OpenSSH 7.7 -w tunnel bug
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in openssh source package in Cosmic:
Fix Released
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?
