[Bug 153] New: NULL pointer passed to xfree() during client connection
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153
Summary: NULL pointer passed to xfree() during client connection
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: sshd
AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: karmilow at intencorp.com
sshd passes a NULL pointer to xfree(), preventing ssh clients from connecting to
the server. The problem occurs on multiple servers and clients:
orion:/etc/rc.d# ./rc.sshd start
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.1p1
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #2 type 2 DSA
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

debug1: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode.

The following lines were written to /var/log/syslog when the client attempted to
connect during the debug session (refer to transcript above):
Mar 8 15:39:02 orion sshd[16231]: fatal: xfree: NULL pointer given as argument
Mar 8 15:51:09 orion sshd[16264]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.
