-===== Requires padding on SSH-2 RSA signatures =====+===== [[rsa_padding]] Requires padding on SSH-2 RSA signatures =====
Versions below 3.3 of [[&openssh|OpenSSH]] and versions below 1.3.4d/1.3.5rc4 of ProFTPD/mod_sftp require SSH-2 RSA signatures to be padded with zero bytes to the same length as the RSA key modulus. The SSH-2 draft specification says that an unpadded signature MUST be accepted, so this is a bug. A typical symptom of this problem is that WinSCP mysteriously fails RSA authentication once in every few hundred attempts, and falls back to passwords.
