Hi Paride, Thanks for filing the upstream bug report. I totally agree that this bug is of low importance.
My colleague actually encountered this problem because he really didn't want a SSH tunnel to time out. He could not figure out what was causing the crash but I found it out after some digging. So I thought it would be useful if the client would give a proper error message, so other people who might encounter this who can't figure it out will also be able to know why it crashes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903516 Title: aborted (core dumped) when using ConnectTimeout > 2147483 Status in portable OpenSSH: Unknown Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The ssh client fails with the message "Aborted (core dumped)" when setting the ConnectTimeout to 2147484 or higher. lsb_release: Linux Mint 20 (but also tested this on latest ubuntu:20.04 docker container) openssh-client version: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1 I expected that either the connect timeout would be used correctly, or that it would fail with a proper error message saying the connect timeout can't be higher than 2147483.
