Hi all.
There's a bug in sshd in the handling of the password expiry messages returned by AIX's authentication routines, which will cause sshd to segfault after password authentication if the user's password has expired or is about to expire. It was originally reported by Rob v.d. Wal. It doesn't affect any other platforms. I recommend that anyone deploying 4.0p1 on AIX systems apply the patch in the following bug, or wait for the 4.1p1 release (which will be some time in the next couple of weeks). My apologies for any inconvenience caused. http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006 -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org http://www.mindrot.org/mailman/listi...enssh-unix-dev |
