Hello,
I'm having a crash problem with latest version (also previous ones)
with ssh private key authentication and Putty Pageant. Looks like
there is a buffer overflow involved. With several smaller keys (e.g.
ssh-ed25519) it works well.
I found a scenario to reproduce it:
1. Generate a RSA 4096 Bit length private/public key pair
2. Load it on the Windows client into Putty Pageant
3. Put public key at the server at ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
4. open connection to the server => crash, see logs
Looks like it is a bug in the old libssh library version with large
private/public keys.
Can you please fix the topic.
Some questions:
- Is the used libssh version really version 0.9.2?
- The logs have some entries with: agent_talk - len of request
- That has been changed in git to another logging in 2011:
https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/commit/?id=ba4f10dc4657952ec47f71dfae90d9fba2eb6759
- Version 0.9.2 has been released in 2019:
https://www.libssh.org/2019/11/07/libssh-0-9-2/
- So it looks, not the version 0.9.2 is used
- Any plans to upgrade to latest version of libssh 0.11.0 while
keeping Putty Pageant Agent support?
- Upgrade plans to newer Putty version?
- Is there a newer nightly Windows build from newer git sources
available?
Version:
- X2Go Client 4.1.2.3-ba65703-kdrclient-a3134d6
- according to the logs: ssh_connect: libssh 0.9.2 (c) 2003-2019
