If I use zsh, I'm good. If I enter BASH from zsh, I get kicked out after several seconds. Definitely is something to do with BASH.

Stupid tryout: use bash and then enter zsh before being kicked out. Still out?
To understand if it is the firing of bash itself or the stay in bash...

No, the underlying bash remains until the ZSH closes. Same as if you were running top from it, for example.

So basically bash is able to run long running jobs with your user...
It's the interactivity with the shell to be broken... Meh.

Sorry the thread is long, did you mention any test from zsh with:

Bash <-- ok this kills the session
Bash -i any difference???
Bash -l ???
bash --norc
bash --noprofile

From bashman page

FireSSH

Looks like FireSSH is not compatible with Firefox Quantum.

@scottalanmiller Thanks. I got it. I overthink everything. 🙂

Also a good way to use a web management interface without opening up http and https.

I do that a bit.

Ok, I can now copy. Thanks for all the help. I have learned a lot in just this one issue.

Cool, just realized that this was solved. So marking it as such. Thanks.

FTA, this looks like it only affects the SSH clients... Right?

"The problem involved a bug that exposed a memory leak to a malicious SSH server," Cox explained. "Because the data in question didn't cross any trust or execution boundaries, the malicious server could get the client to possibly leak sensitive authentication key data."

I think it's both. I ran my update playbook and everything was patched within about 3 minutes 🙂

As the site mentions: "autossh comes in handy when you want to set up reverse SSH tunnels or mount remote folders over SSH. Essentially in any situation where persistent SSH sessions are required, autossh can be useful."
