Can an SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO have zero entries?
Someone has just reported an SSH implementation that sends SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO
with zero extensions present, i.e.:
byte SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO (value 7)
uint32 0
(No extensions present in the extensions message)
The RFC says:
Implementations MUST accept well-formed SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO messages up to the
maximum packet length they accept.
but never defines what a well-formed SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO message actually is. In
my case I've defined one with zero entries as not well-formed, since it's a
message used to communicate extensions that communicates no actual extensions.
Should a message like this be accepted?
Peter.
