** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ The default listening sockets for sshd are different depending on
+ whether socket activation is used or not, even when /etc/ssh/sshd_config
+ is the default. E.g.:
+ 
+ # Socket-activated
+ 
+ root@n2:~# systemctl status ssh.socket
+ ● ssh.socket - OpenBSD Secure Shell server socket
+      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ssh.socket; enabled; preset: 
enabled)
+      Active: active (listening) since Tue 2024-10-01 20:36:15 UTC; 12min ago
+    Triggers: ● ssh.service
+      Listen: [::]:22 (Stream)
+      CGroup: /system.slice/ssh.socket
+ 
+ Oct 01 20:36:15 n2 systemd[1]: Listening on ssh.socket - OpenBSD Secure Shell 
server socket.

+ COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
+ systemd   1 root   47u  IPv6 2781411      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
+

+

+ Removed "/etc/systemd/system/ssh.service.requires/ssh.socket".
+ Removed "/etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/ssh.socket".

/etc/systemd/system-generators/sshd-socket-generator
+ root@n2:~# systemctl enable --now ssh.service
+ Synchronizing state of ssh.service with SysV service script with 
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.

+ Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sshd.service →

+ root@n2:~# lsof -i :22

+ sshd    798 root    3u  IPv4 2793622      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
+ sshd    798 root    4u  IPv6 2793624      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
+ 
+ By default, we have net.ipv6.bindv6only=0 sysctl, and BindIPv6Only=both
+ on ssh.socket, which means usually users can connect over IPv4
+ regardless. However, the fact remains that the resulting listening
+ sockets are different in these two cases, and socket-activated ssh does
+ not accurately reflect the settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ 1. Check that on a noble system, without custom sshd_config, sshd is
+ listening on both IPv4 and IPv6 on port 22:
+ 
+ $ lsof -i :22
+ 
+ 2. Check that setting AddressFamily to e.g. inet results in only an IPv4
+ socket:
+ 
+ $ echo "AddressFamily inet" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/custom.conf
+ $ systemctl daemon-reload
+ $ systemctl restart ssh.socket
+ $ lsof -i :22
+ 
+ There should only be one listener now.
+ 
+ 3. Check the same thing with inet6, and a custom port for good measure:
+ 
+ $ echo "AddressFamily inet6" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/custom.conf
+ $ echo "Port 1234" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/custom.conf
+ $ systemctl daemon-reload
+ $ systemctl restart ssh.socket
+ $ lsof -i :1234
+ 
+ 4. The new tests in debian/tests/sshd-socket-generator should all pass
+ in autopkgtest.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ The fix requires new default settings in the [Socket] section of
+ ssh.socket, and handling for new defaults in sshd-socket-generator. It
+ would be more likely to see problems with the generator as opposed to
+ the changes in ssh.socket. However, new subtests were added to
+ debian/tests/sshd-socket-generator to help avoid this.
+ 
+ [Original Description]
+ 
  After upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04 I noticed that my sshd only
  listening on IPv6 interface (::), while previously it was listening both
  IPv4 (0.0.0.0) and IPv6 (::). I tried to explicitly specify
  ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 (assuming it would bind to IPv4 only) but after
  restart sshd was still listening on IPv6 only.
  
  This problem affects other packages as well, for example, openvpn.
  
  Rebuilding applications from sources seems to fix the issue.
  
  Setting net.ipv6.bindv6only=0 also helps, but that's not a solution.
