Hi,
After upgrading openssh on debian 7/wheezy from 6.0p1-4+deb7u7 to
6.0p1-4+deb7u8,
we see
Sep 17 10:47:13 host sshd[124622]: Failed publickey for root from 1.2.3.4
port 39792 ssh2
Sep 17 10:47:13 host sshd[124622]: fatal: xfree: NULL pointer given as
argument [preauth]
. Login fails:
joostvb@home:~% ssh root@host
Authentication failed.
. Downgrading back to 6.0p1-4+deb7u7 restores login functionality.
Behaviour observed on 2 of our machines. Possibly more debug information
available; please ask.
I also get the same error on all my wheezy servers after updating the
openssh-server package. All of them are LXC containers running on a
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host. Perhaps it has something to do with it.
Cheers,
Mikael
