Bug#923419: openssh-client: ssh-agent returns incorrect signature type for RSA CERTs
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.9p1-7
Severity: normal
Tags: fixed-upstream
Dear Maintainer,
There is an issue with the ssh client/ssh-agent that causes RSA CERT
based authentication to fail on the initial attempt when using
ssh-agent. The problem has been fixed upstream[1] and will be part of
the openssh 8.0 release. There is also a patch[2] for openssh 7.9
mentioned in the ticket. I'm hoping this fix can make it into buster.
