Have you created a new issue ticket for it on GitHub? If I'd spotted a bug, and felt strongly enough to comment on HN about it, opening a new ticket would be my next move.
- pengaru 5y agoHi Greg, that's the first thing I tried to do. Alas they have issues disabled on the github repo; https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/issues https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/issues redirects to /pulls. So I cloned the repo to start looking more closely at the code in a real editor with an eye towards making a PR. Fortunately the nature of the bug I've found seems unlikely to be a security issue, it's a busy-loop CPU-burning bug in clientloop.c's poll() integration.
- gkhartman 5y agoGood point on the /issues redirect. They have a separate bug tracker it seems [0]. Thanks for taking the time to look into it. This sort of thing is what makes open source software great. P.S. I'm not Greg (added it to my profile->about section to clarify).
