Package: openssh-server Version: 1:7.7p1-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
The ~/.ssh/authorized_keys no longer accepts lines with an environment option where an underscore is used in the environment name. e.g. environment="LC_ALL=C" ssh-rsa AAAA... my-public-key This stricter checking is added in openssh 7.7. As a result of this stricter check, I am no longer allowed to login with this key. Imho this is too restrictive and underscores should be allowed. The bug is fixed upstream here: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2851 Best Regards, Bas van Sisseren -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.67 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5+b1 ii libaudit1 1:2.8.3-1+b1 ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libcom-err2 1.44.2-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.16-2 ii libkrb5-3 1.16-2 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.7 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.7 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.7 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii libssl1.0.2 1.0.2o-1 ii libsystemd0 239-5 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-27 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii openssh-client 1:7.7p1-2 ii openssh-sftp-server 1:7.7p1-2 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2 ii ucf 3.0038 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: pn libpam-systemd <none> pn ncurses-term <none> pn xauth <none> Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn rssh <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> pn ufw <none> -- debconf information: openssh-server/permit-root-login: true openssh-server/password-authentication: true
