Bugzilla – Bug 116275
OpenSSH + PrivSep + PAM can leave garbage processes around
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:43 UTC
Due to a small bug in the PAM implementation shipped with OpenSSH, unexpected death of either the monitor program leaves the PAM child around. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=112136883013475&w=2 for both a patch and some further details for the reproduction. The fix is included in OpenSSH 4.2+
Will be in next release of SL.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
