Description Kevin Fenzi 2011-02-01 22:08:52 UTC

openssh-server-5.6p1-26.fc15.x86_64

in default config, root users can login, but regular users can't. 

Setting: 

UsePrivilegeSeparation no

lets everything work again. 

From the server:

Non interactive sessions work fine, it's only interactive ones that hit this. 

Happy to provide more info or help debugging.

I think this bug is introduced in openssh-5.6p1-audit5.patch.

The patch adds a function packet_destroy_all which is called in privsep_postauth.  packet_destroy_all eventually calls packet_destroy_state, which zeros out active_state.  However, mm_record_login eventually calls getpeername(packet_get_connection_in(), ...) which expects active_state->connection_in to be valid.  I think this is what causes the getpeername error in the above log.

repaired in openssh-5.6p1-28, please test

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2011-02-02 16:17:07 UTC

Yep. I can confirm that it is fixed in that version. :) 

Thanks for the quick fix.

openssh-5.6p1-28.fc15.x86_64 fixes it for me.
