Bug #118437 for Net-SSH-Perl: Padding byte interpreted as signed integer, should be unsigned

Subject:	Padding byte interpreted as signed integer, should be unsigned

Hello, I've just run across a problem connecting to some servers, which I believe to be the problem described here: https://fogbugz.bitvise.com/default.asp?WinSSHD.1.11700.2 Basically, Net::SSH::Perl works if the padding happens to be 127 or below, but it should work all the way up to 255. The symptom is for example "Corrupted padlen -102 on input". The solution seems to be to change line 241 (in version 2.01) to 'unpack "C"' instead of 'unpack "c"'. Thanks! -Xan

Hi, thanks for your report? Is there any chance that you create a Pull Request on Lance Kinley's repo on github https://github.com/lkinley/Net-SSH-Perl so he can have a look? He is the main author behind current development. Thanks, Steffen On Wed Oct 19 11:38:52 2016, xan@biblionix.com wrote: Show quoted text
