Lyor Goldstein commented on SSHD-968:
-------------------------------------
I am afraid I don't have good news - I have examined the code in the hopes that
we can somehow expose the sequence number of the sent message. While it is
technically possible it poses many challenges especially to the encode/decode
loops - which are at the very heart of the packets management mechanism. I am
not sure the benefit is worth the risk at this time...

> Key: SSHD-968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-968
> Project: MINA SSHD
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Environment: Windows 10
> Reporter: Patrik Ek
> Assignee: Lyor Goldstein
> Priority: Major
>
> In case SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST is not supported by the remote SSH server, the
> keep-alive heartbeat times out. The reason for this is SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED
> is only logged in
> {color:#172b4d}org.apache.sshd.common.session.helpers{color}.AbstractSession
> The method identifying the SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED is called
> AbstractSession.doHandleMessage()
> The consequense is that no reply is received and the heartbeat times out
> instead of calling AbstractSession.requestFailure(). Which in turn leads to
> the session terminates.
> According to RFC 4253 sect. 11.4
> ({color:#004000}https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-11.4{color}) the
> SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED is meant to be ignored, but this makes little sense for
> a heartbeat, as even SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED is good enough to count as a reply
> for this. This is for example the case in OpenSSH, where
> SSH_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED replies for heartbeat, does not lead to a termination
> of the SSH session.
> There is a workaround released in 2.1.1, to use
> ReservedSessionMessagesHandler for handling replies, but this does not allow
> access to the method AbstractSession.requestFailure() (without using
> reflection so to say). Further, the heartbeat is ongoing in the background,
> so there is no good solution to this problem from outside of the framework.

> Would this be possible to fix? The reason I write it here is because the bug
> seems to existing up to some version of libssh, even for the SSHv2 protocol,
> so just writing a bug report on the particular server will not solve the
> problems for already existing implementations using libssh.
> The following config is used,
> SshClient client =
> SshClient.setUpDefaultClient(){color:#cc7832};{color}{color:#808080}
> {color} {color:#172b4d}PropertyResolverUtils.updateProperty(client,
> ClientFactoryManager.HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL, 15000);
>
> PropertyResolverUtils.updateProperty(client,ClientFactoryManager.HEARTBEAT_REPLY_WAIT,
> 30000);
>
> PropertyResolverUtils.updateProperty(client,ClientFactoryManager.HEARTBEAT_REQUEST,
> "[email protected]");{color}
