Goldstein Lyor reassigned SSHD-750: ----------------------------------- Assignee: Goldstein Lyor > Accept SSH clients advertising 1.99 > ----------------------------------- > > Key: SSHD-750 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-750 > Project: MINA SSHD > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.5.0 > Reporter: Scott Meeuwsen > Assignee: Goldstein Lyor > Priority: Minor > > I debated listing this as a bug, given clients advertising 1.99 are SSH 2.0 > clients and are being rejected, I believe, somewhat accidentally. However, on > further research I see that the RFC doesn't really cover this situation (only > the opposite: a server advertising 1.99 to a 2.0 client). Ultimately, I do > think this should be supported given: > 1) the server/client will still talk 2.0, nobody is suggesting adding a mode > whereby they talk 1.x, so there shouldn't be a security issue here > 2) MINA SSH client already supports it (inverse situation), so this creates > alignment within the code between client/server capabilities > 3) OpenSSH server supports it (not that everybody has to copy OpenSSH > behavior, but it is certainly a widely supported implementation to look for > advice on how to behave) > 4) the patch is a one liner, easy to understand, and was easily tested (aka > it works) > Github pull request: > https://github.com/apache/mina-sshd/pull/31 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
