Title:
[16.04] ssh <host>: Bad protocol spec '1'
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrade to 16.04 ssh client will not connect to any host,
reporting
/home/tj/.ssh/config line 109: Bad protocol spec '1'.
The entry is:
Host ups-01
Hostname 10.254.0.1
User hostmaster
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_hostmaster
IdentitiesOnly yes
Protocol 1
If this were an entry in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and the user had no
privileges to edit that file it could create a denial of service to
the ssh client (if the user doesn't know how to over-ride the config).
It would be helpful if the openssh-client postinst script were to grep
the standard config files (including for users) and add a warning to
the motd and syslog if any invalidated configuration statements are
found.
This will especially affect connections to embedded devices - in this
case it is an ssh server on a management VLAN in one of several
network-attached Uninterruptable Power Supplies that cannot be
upgraded, and only support Protocol 1.
According to the 16.04 Release Notes protocol 1 requires the openssh-
client-ssh1 package with the ssh1 binary.
