[jira] [Resolved] (SSHD-800) Numerous SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE messages sent for SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA on unknown channel

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-800?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Goldstein Lyor resolved SSHD-800.
---------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
         Assignee: Goldstein Lyor
    Fix Version/s: 1.8.0

Made the value configurable - and after some consideration decided to make the default _false_ - i.e., don't reply to such messages - which means you don't need special SSHD configuration

> Hi in case the SSHD server receives a message for a not existing channel, it sends back a _SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE_.
> This behaviour is not described in RFC4254, which, I agree, is unclear about what should be do in this case.
> Since the current SSHD implementation send back a _SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE_ message (with the local channel id), in our environment, it put the receipient in an inconsistent state. 
> In out enviroment happened that the receipient has sent a _SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA_ while SSHD had already closed the channel.
> I fully agree that this should not happen (I will open another issue about this) but the _SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE_ further complicates things.
>  
> The problem can be overcome modifying line 78 of _org.apache.sshd.common.session.helpers.DefaultUnknownChannelReferenceHandler_
