Description Michael Jones 2024-10-10 22:03:17 UTC
When using systemd socket activation, sshd fails to launch with ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection from IPADDRHERE port 33390: Bad file descriptor [preauth]

This is happening on 3 different computers.

If I copy /lib/systemd/system/sshd@.service to /etc/systemd/system/, and edit it to add the -d flag to get debugging info (and run systemctl daemon-reload), it works. This makes it pretty difficult to determine what is broken with socket activation.

If I turn off sshd.socket, and enable sshd.service instead (turning off socket activation) then it works.

This is a new bug that was introduced this week, but i dont know the exact timing. Locked me out of a system, had to drive to it to get console access.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-10-10 22:17:10 UTC
If it was this week, then it was surely net-misc/openssh being upgraded to 9.8 (bug 940876).
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2024-10-10 22:38:28 UTC
I am unable to reproduce the issue.

net-misc/openssh-9.8_p1-r2
sys-apps/systemd-256.7
Comment 3 Michael Jones 2024-10-11 01:45:47 UTC
I'm using systemd 255.11, if that makes any difference to your ability to reproduce.

I'll try downgrading openssh and see if that does anything.
Comment 4 Michael Jones 2024-10-11 01:52:19 UTC
net-misc/openssh-9.7_p1-r6 doesn't have the problem.

I tried adding the patch to /etc/portage/patches

cat /etc/portage/patches/net-misc/openssh/c21c3a2419bbc1c59cb1a16ea356e703e99a90d9.patch

 	closefrom(STDERR_FILENO + 1);


the patch applies, but it doesn't fix the problem. Bummer.
Comment 7 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2024-10-11 02:46:14 UTC
I was also unable to reproduce the issue with systemd 255.11 or 255.12.

Upon connecting, the journal looks like this:

Comment 8 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2024-10-11 18:39:19 UTC
The systemd unit specifies an absolute path to sshd, so that issue is unrelated I think.

Ah.
Comment 10 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-10-29 01:39:04 UTC
If Mike can't reproduce (and seemingly nobody else can), I suggest starting up dropbear or another sshd on another port and then bisecting.
