[Bug 1421075] Re: Typo with dynamically removing port forward in ssh

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

I can confirm that this typo is still present in openssh 1:7.4p1-6 on
Ubuntu Zesty, more specifically in the file clientloop.c. It looks like
this issue isn't introduced by packaging in Debian/Ubuntu, but seems to
be in openssh itself. I wonder if a fix should be forwarded there.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: bitesize string-fix trusty xenial yakkety zesty

  Typo with dynamically removing port forward in ssh

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using ssh and managing ssh port forwards with ~C to remove a
  forward that doesn't exist, the following occurs:

    ssh> -KD12345
    Unkown port forwarding.

  ie, the mispelling of the work Unknown as 'Unkown'.

  This occurs at least on a server running on trusty:

  $ dpkg --list | grep openssh
  ii  openssh-client                      1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2                   amd64        secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
  ii  openssh-server                      1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2                   amd64        secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines
  ii  openssh-sftp-server                 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2                   amd64        secure shell (SSH) sftp server module, for SFTP access from remote machines

  Please let me know if you need any more information.
