Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.6p1-4~bpo70+1 Severity: normal I found that the following command
ssh -i ~/.ssh/foo m...@some.other.host succeeds (with a warning) if ~/.ssh/foo doesn't exist or is otherwise inaccessible, as long as the default private key can be used to connect as specified. I don't know if this can be abused, but I had a script that kept "working" for months after I deleted the private key specified because my default key happened to enable access. IMO this should fail and not just warn. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10.53.3 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.16.15 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u4 ii libedit2 2.11-20080614-5 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u2 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-2+deb7u12 ii passwd 1:4.1.5.1-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.7-1 Versions of packages openssh-client suggests: ii keychain 2.7.1-1 pn libpam-ssh <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/ssh/ssh_config changed: Host * SendEnv LANG LC_* HashKnownHosts no GSSAPIAuthentication yes GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
