Bug#857736: ssh-keyscan: hash does not include the port



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.4p1-7
Severity: important

This was originally reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1670745 and
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2692.  Here's the eventual
distilled report:

  When running an ssh-keyscan with the -H option on a custom port the
  port is not included in the hash and is in plain text.  For example:
  $ ssh-keyscan -H -p 2222 10.10.10.10
  [|1|HASHED_IP]:2222 ssh-rsa MY_RSA_KEY

  If however I run ssh-keygen without the -H and then come back with
  ssh-keygen it will hash the port:
  $ ssh-keyscan -p 2222 10.10.10.10 > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  [10.10.10.10]:2222 ssh-rsa MY_RSA_KEY
  $ ssh-keygen -H -f ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  $ cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  |1|HASHED_IP_AND_PORT ssh-rsa MY_RSA_KEY

Upstream said:

  ssh-keyscan is in error here.  It's supposed to include the port in
  the hash as ssh and ssh-keygen do.
