Bug#411397: openssh-server: SFTP keeps reading input until it runs out of buffer space

[Thue Janus Kristensen <thuejk@gmail.com>]

Package: openssh-server
Severity: normal


As described in bug #365541, SFTP-server will happily keep reading
input until it runs out of buffer space, instead of throtling
reads. This causes for example dds into a sshfs-mounted directory to
fail in some case.

I have submitted a patch to the openssh project, at http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1286 .

Regards, Thue
