Description:
------------
Trying to copy an about 60KB file from a remote system repeatedly causes a segfault. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact size of the file, because it behaves a bit randomly, but a 64253 byte file gets copied, while a 65514 byte file causes the segfault. A 65515 byte file causes ssh2_scp_recv to  hang. A 65491 byte file gets copied normally, while a 65490 byte file causes a segfault.

OpenSSH is version 3.8p1-100.SuSE.ulb.1

Reproduce code:

$c = ssh2_connect('server', 22);

ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($c, 'user', '/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa.pub', '/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa');

ssh2_scp_recv($c, 'test', './test');

?>

Actual result:
--------------
65514 byte file

Sorry, forgot to mention.

Problem is present in version 0.6 too.

Smaller files seem to come through, but for larger files (tested with one about 160KB) only part gets copied (got consistently about 130KB of above file).

I have the same troubles on Mandrake 9.1 with PHP 4.3.1.
 No problem for scp_recv but segfault for almost all file,
 even small, even binaries like .gz, with ssh2-0.7 .

Gonna try with more recent version of PHP, 4.3.7 for example.

[2005-03-16 14:02 UTC] ep at numlog dot fr

The problem occurs while using the same connection
for more than one ssh2_scp_recv (a 'for' loop).
No problem when creating a new connection for each ssh2_scp_recv.

FAILS :
if($connection = my_ssh2_connect()){
  $arrayloc[0] = 'toto1' ;
  $arrayloc[1] = 'toto2' ;
 if (my_ssh2_auth_password($connection)){
   for($i=0; $i < count() ; $i++){
     ssh2_scp_send($connection,$arrayloc[$i] , $arrayloc[$i]."snd",0644) ;
   }
  }
}

WORKS:

  $arrayloc[0] = 'toto1' ;
  $arrayloc[1] = 'toto2' ;
 
   for($i=0; $i < count() ; $i++){
if($connection = my_ssh2_connect()){
  if (my_ssh2_auth_password($connection)){
     ssh2_scp_send($connection,$arrayloc[$i] , $arrayloc[$i]."snd",0644) ;
   }
  }
}


Hope it can help !!!

Well, in fact, it is not so simple...

The segfault occurs when using the connection with
a ssh2_exec() function before the ssh2_scp_send function.

FAILS : 
$connection = my_ssh2_connect();
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, "ls -ls");
ssh2_scp_send($connection,"toto1" , "toto1.snd",0644) ;

I didn't notice a segfault when using a ssh2_exec after to use a ssh2_scp_[send/recv] function.

to be continued ?

[2005-05-18 00:53 UTC] pollita@php.net

Please try libssh2 0.10 and pecl/ssh 0.8
