Hi,
I have a serious problem with OpenSSH. I use it on kernel 2.6.18 with
grsecurity patch enabled, i686 (Gentoo GNU/Linux, Hardened profile)
gcc-3.4.6
glibc-2.5-r4
binutils-2.16.1-r3
libtool-1.5.22
zlib-1.2.3-r1
openssl-0.9.8d
openssh-4.5_p1-r1
When I transfer about 20Mbytes of data through ssh the connection dies
(even on localhost).
I suspect on glibc's nptl. I've tried with linuxthreads support and
still no success :( of course, all glibc update was followed by
toolchain recompilation and zlib-openssl-openssh recompilation. Guys
on gentoo-hardened mailing list couldn't help me out.
The same issue raises with compression enabled/disabled, tcpkeepalive
enabled/disabled, clientinterval enabled/disabled and firewall
enabled/disabled.
Do you have any clue on what is happening here?
