Bug#763118: sshd(8): options field in authorized_keys is no longer detected by numbers
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:6.6p1-7
Severity: minor
>From sshd(8), under the AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT section:
The options field is optional; its presence is determined by whether
the line starts with a number or not (the options field never starts
with a number).
This is indeed the case for Protocol 1 public keys, but Protocol 2 keys
don't start with a number either; the presence of the options field is
instead determined by whether or not the first field matches any of the
known keytypes.
