Package: openssh-client Version: 1:5.5p1-5+b1 Severity: grave File: /usr/bin/scp Justification: causes non-serious data loss
scp fails to notice close() errors. To reproduce: - mount a 10M tmpfs - export it through samba - mount the share through cifs - take a 12M file (eg dd from /dev/zero) When you copy the file to the samba share no error is reported. The tail of the file is silently lost. $ scp /scratch/junk . ; echo $? 0 $ rm junk $ cat /scratch/junk | gzip -c > junk gzip: stdout: No space left on device $ rm junk $ cat /scratch/junk | gzip -c | split -d -a 3 -b 6M - junk.gz. ; echo $? split: junk.gz.001: No space left on device 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (910, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (111, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-rc6-r600fence-smbinit-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.8.5 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libedit2 2.11-20080614-2 BSD editline and history libraries ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-3 SSL shared libraries ii passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-2 change and administer password and ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii openssh-blacklist 0.4.1 list of default blacklisted OpenSS ii openssh-blacklist-extra 0.4.1 list of non-default blacklisted Op ii xauth 1:1.0.4-1 X authentication utility Versions of packages openssh-client suggests: pn keychain <none> (no description available) pn libpam-ssh <none> (no description available) pn ssh-askpass <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
