RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ondrej Moriš 2019-06-24 15:48:02 UTC
Created attachment 1584070 [details]
Output of command with libssh debug output

Description of problem:

In FIPS mode, downloading the file via scp does not work, see more details below.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libssh-0.8.91-0.1.el8
curl-7.61.1-11.el8
nss-3.41.0-5.el8

How reproducible:

100% with FIPS mode enabled

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enabled FIPS mode
   # fips-mode-setup --enable && reboot

2. Create test user
   # useradd -m curltestuser

3. Generate test file
   # su - curltestuser -c 'dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=200'

4. Generate ssh key
   # ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa-sha2-512 -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa -N ''

5. Authorize key for test user
   # mkdir /home/curltestuser/.ssh 
   # cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > /home/curltestuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
   # chown -R curltestuser.curltestuser /home/curltestuser/.ssh/

6. Download file via scp
   # curl -o ./scp_file -u curltestuser: --key /root/.ssh/id_rsa $PUBKEY_PARAM $OPTIONS scp://localhost/home/curltestuser/testfile

Actual results:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
curl: (51) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

Expected results:

File is downloaded correctly.

Additional info:

 * When FIPS mode is disabled or DEFAULT crypto-policy is used, everything works just fine.
 * Output of (6) with the highest libssh log level is attached and suggest that the problem is not in libssh.
 * ssh curltestuser@localhost works flawlessly

Could you please attach ~/.ssh/known_hosts ?

Comment 3 Ondrej Moriš 2019-06-24 16:07:53 UTC
Command fails the same wait event with empty known_hosts. BTW: I am generating known_hosts content as follows: ssh-keyscan localhost >>/root/.ssh/known_hosts

Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2019-06-28 15:45:38 UTC
This looks like a regression of bug #1638790.  If I comment out the line `HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key` in /etc/ssh/sshd_config , curl connects successfully.
