openssh bugs - Nov 2004 - [Bug 952] login_init_entry: Cannot find user when username length is 64

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=952

           Summary: login_init_entry: Cannot find user when username length
                    is 64
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.9p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: brhamon at cisco.com


struct logininfo (loginrec.h) defines LINFO_NAMESIZE to 64. The call to strlcpy 
on loginrec.c line 357 will truncate the 64th character. When a user logs in 
with a username of exactly 64 characters, the following error message is 
displayed:

login_init_entry: Cannot find 
user "testlengthtestlengthtestlengthtestlengthtestlengthtestlengthtes"

Created an attachment (id=739)
 --> (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=739&action=view)
One-line change. Unit tested on Linux.

65 probably would have worked, I added 8 to keep the alignment of subsequent
fields.
