Description Sjoerd Mullender 2016-01-29 11:43:46 UTC
Description of problem:
In my file /etc/pam.d/sudo I have added the line
auth sufficient pam_ssh_agent_auth.so file=/etc/security/authorized_keys
at the start of the file.  Since the upgrade to pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.10.2-1.2.fc23.x86_64, sudo crashes with a Segmentation fault when called when I have the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK set to point to a valid agent socket.
After downgrading to pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.10.2-1.2.fc23.x86_64, sudo works again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pam_ssh_agent_auth-0.10.2-1.2.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install latest pam_ssh_agent_auth and follow instructions in man page
2.run an ssh agent
3.sudo whoami

Actual results:
Segmentation fault

Expected results:
command executes

Additional info:
Same problem with su and the appropriate change to /etc/pam.d/su.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelen 2016-01-29 12:01:33 UTC
I can't reproduce the crash on my testing machine. Can you add also "debug" flag and post the log what is going on under the hood (should be in /var/log/secure)? Do you have correct permissions for the /etc/security/authorized_keys?

Comment 2 Sjoerd Mullender 2016-01-29 12:34:18 UTC
$ ls -l /etc/security/authorized_keys
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 750 Sep 12  2013 /etc/security/authorized_keys
$ ls -Z /etc/security/authorized_keys
unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 /etc/security/authorized_keys

After I added debug, I see the following in the log file (single sudo invocation):
Jan 29 13:25:16 mdbs sudo[13481]: Beginning pam_ssh_agent_auth for user sjoerd

Comment 3 Jakub Jelen 2016-01-29 21:11:36 UTC
Ok. I got that. When I have only one valid key, it works fine.

For more keys (or if the first key is not valid), it segfaults, because the buffer gots somehow corrupted for some reason.
This unfortunately slipped through my tests.

Thank you for the report. I will try to solve it asap.
