[Bug 3627] New: openssh 9.4p1 does not see RSA keys in know_hosts file.

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3627

            Bug ID: 3627
           Summary: openssh 9.4p1 does not see RSA keys in know_hosts
                    file.
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.4p1
          Hardware: SPARC
                OS: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

Created attachment 3738
  --> https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=3738&action=edit
pdf of my issue

I have compiled openssh 9.4p1 using the following compile command:

configure CFLAGS="-g -O3
-L/usr/local/tools/openssh/openssh/openssl/lib/64
-R/usr/local/tools/openssh/openssh/openssl/lib/64 
-I/usr/local/tools/openssh/openssh/openssl/include/openssl" CC="gcc
-m64" --without-zlib-version-check --without-openssl-header-check
--with-pam --prefix=/usr/local/tools/openssh/openssh/openssh

Here is the version:

< user_lamborghini ~/.ssh: > ssh -V

This happens every time.

Openssh  9.4p1 is Not seeing the RSA keys in the known_hosts files,
even though it puts the entry in the file.

What is happening?

How can I fix this so it only puts the entry in once and reads it when
I log in again?

additional debuigging for known_hosts

Please try applying this patch and running ssh in debug mode again. The
patch adds some additional diagnostics that might help figure out
what's happening here.

A long shot but does your OpenSSL build pass its self-tests?  ("cd
openssl && make tests").

[Bug 3627] openssh 9.4p1 does not see RSA keys in know_hosts file.

This is a solaris sparc machine so I can not apply the "patch" as you
suggested.

diff: illegal option -- git


If you can apply the patch and then zip up the patched hostfile.c and
upload it, I can download it and then put it in place and compile it in
and see if it gives more diagnostics.

I appreciate any assistance on this oddity.

I don't understand why it put the RSA key in the known_hosts file, but
can't read it the next time.

If you need to do this in future you can build GNU patch on Solaris:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/

Grab a snapshot from here:

and replace hostfile.[ch] with https://www.dtucker.net/tmp/hostfile.c
and https://www.dtucker.net/tmp/hostfile.h

Thank you for the links.  I have downloaded them.

I put them in place and now I'm getting a compile error I need to work
through.

This may be unrelated to the updated files.

So I will continue to work on my compile issues and will use the
updated hostfile.* files.

So it may be a while before I can give a better test of the original
issue.

Thank you again.

FYI: this is the compile error i am getting:

[Bug 3627] openssh 9.4p1 does not see RSA keys in know_hosts file.

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3627

--- Comment #8 from openssh bugs <bugzilla at outputservices.com> ---

After putting in the updated hostfile.c and hostfile.h and compiling I
ran the test again.


< user_lamborghini ~/.ssh: > ssh -V
OpenSSH_9.4p1, OpenSSL 3.1.2 1 Aug 2023


< user_lamborghini ~/.ssh: > ls -l

First time I use ssh 9.4p1 it asks me to accept the remote workstation
RSA key.

It creates two known_hosts files:  known_hosts  and known_hosts.old

It puts two entries of the remote workstation into the known_hosts
file.

Now I do verbose diagnostics and get this error:

hostfile_read_key: sshkey_read /export/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:1:
invalid format

for both entries in the known_hosts file.

How can it be a invalid format when ssh is the application placing the
entries?

Below is the verbose diagnostics.

Is there another option / switch I can put on the command line to dump
better diagnostics?

---------------------------------------------------------

Can you tell me what I'm getting:

hostfile_read_key: sshkey_read /export/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:1:
invalid format

when it's the SSH program that is putting the keys into the known_hosts
file?

I uploaded attachments and diagnostics on October 28, 2023.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need to add some debugging to sshkey_read() to figure out what
is going wrong in there. Please replace sshkey.c with this version that
adds some more debugging of where it is going wrong.

I have uploaded a new diagnostics zip file.  bugzilla.zip

I compiled with the new files:  hostfile.c,  hostfile.h,  ssh-rsa.c, 
sshkey.c

I get the same results.  ssh puts the "key" into known_hosts and
known_hosts.old.

I still get invalid format when it reads the known_hosts files.

I also did a test using OpenSSH_6.0p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2t with the
known_hosts file that OpenSSH_9.4p1, OpenSSL 3.1.2 put together.

6.0p1  read the entries without issue. 

Thank you for any assistance in this matter.
