Title:
Comments longer than 1024 chars break sshd_config
Status in portable OpenSSH:
Fix Released
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When sshd_config contains a comment of more than 1023 chars, it treats
char 1024+ as valid configuration. That usually breaks the config, or
(in case there accidentally is valid sshd_config syntax) is unwanted.
To verify the bug, apply appended patch to sshd_config (that prepends
a long comment) and try to start ssh. You will see this:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 2: Bad configuration option:
ThisIsAnInvalidOption
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
Note that it complains about line 2 though the offending comment is in
line 1.
It is worth mentioning that active configuration lines longer than
1023 chars work fine. (I discovered this bug when i commented out a
long "Match Address" list)
