This was fixed upstream on

which was released in 8.6p1.

This affects impish, focal and bionic.

Bug description:
  The ssh client fails with the message "Aborted (core dumped)" when
  setting the ConnectTimeout to 2147484 or higher.

  lsb_release: Linux Mint 20 (but also tested this on latest ubuntu:20.04 docker container)
  openssh-client version: 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.1

  I expected that either the connect timeout would be used correctly, or
  that it would fail with a proper error message saying the connect
  timeout can't be higher than 2147483.

  What happened:

  $ ssh -o "ConnectTimeout=2147484" localhost
  Aborted (core dumped)
