            Bug ID: 3734
           Summary: Expression 'l > SIZE_MAX' is always false
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.8p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5

Expression 'l > SIZE_MAX' is always false , which may be caused by a
logical error: 'l' has a type 'size_t' with minimum value
'0' and a
maximum value '18446744073709551615'


Instead, other methods should be used to protect against overflows or
similar problems, or this condition should be removed as unimportant.

Are you filing bugs from the results of a static analyser?

The static analyzer produced this error, after which I analyzed it
