Bug in Renci SSH.NET

[poulpreben]

We created support case 03150718, but were redirected here.

When we are performing backup copy job to Linux based repositories, we are hitting this particular bug:

https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/issues/105

The following error message fails the jobs very often:
Processing XXXXXX Error: Data longer than 2147483647 is not supported. 02:40

We have the following lines in our sshd_config in order to avoid timeouts over IPSec VPN tunnels:

Code: Select all

ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveCountMax 28800

Removing those lines from sshd_config indeed removes the issue, but it causes timeouts instead.

According to the issue thread on GitHub, the problem has been resolved in newer versions of the Renci SSH.NET library. Are there plans to including a newer version in 9.5 Update 4?

Hi Preben,

thanks for pointing this out. Asked support team to report this up the line to get a solution that adddress this. Will share the new support case number here soon.

Hi, Preben! I've confirmed Renci SSH.NET version 2016.1.0 is already in the Update 4. Thanks!

Hey, El G! Thanks for the confirmation. I have asked support if it would be possible to get the updated library as a hotfix until Update 4 is released, because we are really struggling to stabilize out backup copies at the moment. Hopefully, it will be possible. Thanks!

Hi Preben, I checked with the devs and unfortunately it is not possible to get the updated library as a hotfix, as it's not a simple swap. Thanks!
