Bug#498684: Confirming patch
found 498684 1:5.1p1-6
severity 498684 important
thanks
"ssh -t" into my system stopped functioning recently, with
ssh_selinux_getctxbyname: Failed to get default SELinux security context for ray
ssh_selinux_setup_pty: security_compute_relabel: Invalid argument
seen in straces, and with
*** glibc detected *** sshd: ray [priv]: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fffffffd7d0 ***
and a backtrace reported when running "sshd -d" under gdb. My system is running SELinux in permissive mode, with no customisations to the policies so far.
I have now switched to a locally rebuilt package that has Václav's
openssh.ssh_selinux_getctxbyname.uninit.patch in it, and that's working as
expected.
I'm raising this bug's severity to reflect the fact that has been
encountered by multiple users in rather normal configurations. As the fix is
straightforward, I would appreciate it if it were incorporated in the next
update of the openssh package.
Kind regards,
Ray
