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 Carlos Santos 2022-03-24 13:41:42 UTC
Description of problem:

- User has "ForwardX11 yes" in ~/.ssh/config or in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
- Git server runs on RHEL 8.5
- User attempts to clone a repository over ssh
- Git hangs

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

- RHEL 8.5
- dbus-1.12.8-14.el8.x86_64
- git-2.27.0-1.el8.x86_64
- openssh-clients-8.0p1-10.el8.x86_64
- openssh-server-8.0p1-10.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

  Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  Using same machine and user for server and client, for simplicity:

1. Enable X11 forwarding for SSH server and client

   # echo ForwardX11 yes >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config
   # echo ForwardX11 yes >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   # systemctl restart sshd.service
  
2. Create git repository

   # mkdir /opt/test-repo
   # chown test-user:test-user /opt/test-repo

   Run below commands as "test-user" on a gnome-terminal

   $ cd /opt/test-repo
   $ git init
   $ git commit -m test

3. Try to clone the repository over ssh

   Rum below commands on a gnome-terminal (must have a DISPLAY)

   $ git clone localhost:/opt/test-repo

Actual results:

   Cloning into 'test-repo'...
   test-user@localhost's password: 
   remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done.
   remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
   remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
   Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
   [hang, must be interrupted with Ctrl-C]
   
Expected results:

   No hang

Additional info:

   It' caused by bug 1940067: With dbus 1.12.8-12.el8_3 ssh session executing
   single command hang (which in its turn is a regression of bug 1874282).

   So ssh hangs after running git-upload-pack at the server side.

   It is possible to circumvent the bug with a system-wide configuration to
   make git run ssh with the "-x" argument, which disables X11 forwarding:

   # git config --system core.sshCommand 'ssh -x'

   git should always run ssh with the "-x" argument to prevent errors related
   to X11 forwarding, which has been a problematic feature.

Comment 1 Carlos Santos 2022-03-24 14:39:37 UTC
Update: it must be

   # echo X11Forwarding yes >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config

instead of

   # echo ForwardX11 yes >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
