Review request for KDE Runtime and Andreas Schneider.


Bugs: 331674
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331674


Repository: kde-runtime


Description
-------

libssh expects the values passed to the SSH_OPTIONS_TIMEOUT and
SSH_OPTIONS_TIMEOUT_USEC to be longs, not plain ints.

On 64-bit platforms with sizeof(long) > sizeof(int), this mismatch can
be problematic and potentially result in invalid memory access that
causes the calls to ssh_options_set() to fail.


Diffs

  kioslave/sftp/kio_sftp.cpp 21cffac0e5892944ca6c5b74537ebc4b7fb4738e 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120900/diff/


Testing
-------

This is a bit hard to test, but with some tinkering in `sftpProtocol::sftpOpenConnection()` I can get `ssh_options_set()` to read parts of the argument passed to `sftpOpenConnection()` in addition to the actual value passed to `ssh_options_set()` and make the ioslave always say that it failed to set the timeout value.

With this change, everything works as expected.


Thanks,

Raphael Kubo da Costa
