Description Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 09:16:23 UTC
If the LIBEDIT option is enabled, the resulting binaries segfault when user-input is required. Building with LIBEDIT disabled results in a working binary.

Tested on 11.1 with LibreSSL 2.6.2.
Comment 1 Piotr Kubaj freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 15:52:09 UTC
I also get a segfault, but having libedit compiled doesn't matter. The error happens when running /usr/local/sbin/sshd. I run 11.1-STABLE with LibreSSL 2.6.2.

Comment 3 Piotr Kubaj freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 16:11:23 UTC
I've just noticed that the crash happens after reading the first line of the config file, but it doesn't have anything special:
#	$OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.97 2015/08/06 14:53:21 deraadt Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

The version I have installed is the newest (7.6.p1_1,1).
Comment 4 Bryan Drewery freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 16:49:53 UTC
The common factor with crashes is libressl or stable-11... very weird.

I noticed the same, if I comment out PermitRootLogin, MaxAuthTries and AuthorizedKeysFile from my sshd_config it then segfaults when loading the host keys.

Disabling LIBEDIT made no difference for me.

FreeBSD 11.1, LibreSSL 2.5.5
Comment 6 Bryan Drewery freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 17:07:59 UTC
Mind sharing your sshd_config?
read(3,"#\t$OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.97 "...,4608) = 4291 (0x10c3)
It is reading more than the first line, 4291 bytes read.
Comment 7 Piotr Kubaj freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 17:17:27 UTC
(In reply to Bryan Drewery from comment #6)
The whole file is 4291 bytes long, so that doesn't explain anything:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  4291 Oct 13 17:39 sshd_config

Still, here you are: https://pastebin.com/NrWjdZkK

The file is slightly shorter because I removed ListenAddress:
egrep -v ListenAddress sshd_config | pastebinit
Comment 8 David Z. 2017-10-14 17:24:29 UTC
Happening to me as well on 11.1-R with libressl.  I tried running sshd using sshd_config.sample as the config file with the same result, so in my case, it segfaults even if there are no changes to sshd_config.  Config options are unchanged as well.

The point was it is not just reading the first line, it may be processing
other options in there.
Comment 10 Simeon Simeonov 2017-10-14 17:33:49 UTC
Same here.
FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE #0 r324609 (built 12 hours ago), with libressl-2.5.5

Tried also with the default sshd_config:

Comment 11 Piotr Kubaj freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 17:55:36 UTC
It looks like compiling without LDNS produces working sshd.

Comment 13 Piotr Kubaj freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-14 18:15:37 UTC
sshd and LibreSSL seem to work fine here - could you mark it IGNORE (or BROKEN), but only if LDNS is chosen?
Comment 14 David Z. 2017-10-14 18:23:42 UTC
(In reply to Piotr Kubaj from comment #11)
I can confirm that disabling LDNS solves the issue for me.
Comment 15 Markus Kohlmeyer 2017-10-15 22:25:01 UTC
Confirmed that LDNS causes the segfaults and not LibreSSL.
Comment 16 Markus Kohlmeyer 2017-10-15 22:28:38 UTC
Tested on 10.4-STABLE and 11.1-STABLE

Are you using LibreSSL?
Comment 18 Markus Kohlmeyer 2017-10-16 20:57:57 UTC
(In reply to Bryan Drewery from comment #17)
Yes, i'm using security/libressl (2.5.5) on both 10.4 and 11.1

The difference is in linking:

before:
         Libraries: -lcrypto -lz -L/usr/local/lib -lutil  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector  -L/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/local/lib   -lcrypto -lldns -lcrypt
after:
         Libraries: -lcrypto -lldns -lz -L/usr/local/lib -lutil -lcrypt
Comment 21 Markus Kohlmeyer 2017-10-16 21:41:18 UTC
(In reply to Bryan Drewery from comment #19)
The patch works for me on both 10.4 and 11.1

Author: bdrewery
Date: Wed Oct 18 17:19:26 UTC 2017
New revision: 452358
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/452358

Log:
  LibreSSL + LDNS: Fix random crashes.

  This happens due to ldns-config --libs adding in too many libraries
  (overlinking), and -lcrypto again, which causes some strange
  conflict/corruption.  By specifying the path to --with-ldns, configure only
  adds in -ldns rather than every library ldns itself needs.
