[Bug 228340] [NEW] ssh-add -D (or -d) does not delete the keys

[Igor Katson]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Ubuntu Linux 2.6.24-16-rt, openssh-client version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1

I just can't delete the keys from the ssh-agent. It says that the
operation has been successful, but they are still in there, and ssh-
agent continues to ligon without any passphrase prompt. Here is the
exact command sequence.

ssh-add -l
2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.....  (RSA)

ssh-add -D
All identities removed.

ssh-add -d
Identity removed: /home/descent/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/descent/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)

ssh-add -l
2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.....  (RSA)

** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
