scdaemon + forwarded ssh agent: 100% reproducible crash
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi,

I'm experiencing a 100% reproducible scdaemon crash in the following environment:

  • macOS Sierra
  • scdaemon 2.0.30 (installed as a part of OSX GPGTools 2016.10)
  • Yubikey NEO
  • gpg-agent is acting as ssh-agent
  • ssh-agent is forwarded to some trusted hosts ("ForwardAgent yes" in ~/.ssh/config)

The following steps reproduce the crash:

  • login to a trusted host using ssh key (key is inserted and unlocked by typing PIN code)
  • detach Yubikey from the machine
  • logoff from the trusted host

scdaemon crashes with the following callstack:

Event Timeline

The same problem reproduces with gnupg2 installed from Homebrew (w/o GPGTools patches).

Thank you for your report.
In 2.1.x, I fixed scdaemon so that card removal works fine.
I'll backport to 2.0.

Fixed in STABLE-BRANCH-2-0 branch of git repo, as of the commit:
5c599e4f6edd288f4759c9fc2bcf9fe87dee1836
