2015-09-21 08:08:15 Madper Xie description I'm connecting via ssh to our platform running dropbear. If I cat /var/log/syslog, I'm seeing the connection break with the following: Write failed: Broken pipe The syslog is about 2MB size. `xxd /dev/zero` can reproduce the issue 100%. [Impact] * In fact it is really an annoying bug due to I can't visit my syslog or other large file via cat. [Test Case] The minimum reproducer should be: * system A running a dropbear as a ssh server. * ssh username@systemA from system B. (A and B should be different computer.) * xxd /dev/zero * the connection will be broken. [Regression Potential] * I find the patch from upstream. And it already been merged. So I think it's safe to merge it into ubuntu. [Other Info] * The latest dropbear-2015.68 can't reproduce the issue. * After a bisect I find this patch fixed the issue: https://github.com/mkj/dropbear/commit/db688e3 * There is a bit conflict if you apply above commit. The fixed version is attached. I'm connecting via ssh to our platform running dropbear. If I cat /var/log/syslog, I'm seeing the connection break with the following: Write failed: Broken pipe The syslog is about 2MB size. I can reproduce the issue in ubuntu 14.04.3. The version of dropbear is 2013.60-1ubuntu2.1 `xxd /dev/zero` can reproduce the issue 100%.
