[libssh2] Stack Overflow

Hello all,

We're looking at this bug now - but maybe some of you might have an idea
as to what is going on.

We have a system that uses libssh2 for all kinds of file transfers, and
everything seems to work fine for files less than a GB or so.

When we try to transfer a file of > 1GB it will crash in the middle of
the file transfer.

I finally got it into visual studio and got the stack trace. Visual
Studio says that the issue is a stack overflow.

The back trace goes as far back as VS will display (and still doesn't
get to the user-level code).

It looks like it's spinning round and round with: -- why would it need
to reexchange the key in the middle of a transfer?

The transfer has been running for about 27 minutes at this point. It is
very consistent as well - every time the file tries to go up it seems to
go bad at about the same place in the file.

libssh2_packet_read( line 528, transport.c )

  calling: full_packet( session , encypted (true) ) -- the session
seems valid, it does have a null server host key (but a server host key
len of 151) ??

full_packet (line 231 transport.c)

  calling: libssh2_packet_add( session, payload, len = 457, state = 0)

libssh2_packet_add (line 921 packet.c )

  calling: libssh2_kex_exhange( session, 1, NB_state_sent2 )

libssh2_kex_exhange (1764 kex.c)

  calling: session->kex->echange_keys (session, NB_created)

kex_exchange_diffie_hellman_group_14_sha1_key_exchange (line 795 kex.c)

  calling: libssh2_kex_method_diffie_hellman_groupGP_sha1_key_exchange

libssh2_kex_method_diffie_hellman_groupGP_sha1_key_exchange (191 kex.c)

  calling: libssh2_packet_require_ex

libssh2_packet_require_ex (line 1088 packet.c)

  calling libssh2_packet_read (and around we go).

We're looking at it - but figured I'd let you all know, maybe you have
some ideas.

Thanks,

Cary FitzHugh
