Originally created by @tools200ms on GitHub (Apr 12, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6308

Description

ssh in firejail fails to establish connection throwing the following message:

Error checking host key <key removed> in revoked keys file /etc/ssh/ssh_revoked_hosts: Permission denied
Host key verification failed.

Looks like firejail prevents ssh from accessing /etc/ssh/ssh_revoked_hosts file.
With --noprofile it works, while with --profile=ssh.profile fails with a given message.

Firejail version: 0.9.72
OS: Gentoo stable

Checklist

  • The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
  • I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
  • The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
  • The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
  • I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
    • I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
  • I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

Thanks for reporting. Looks like we need to add noblacklist /etc/ssh/ssh_revoked_hosts to allow-ssh.inc. Can you confirm the below fixes this please:

$ cat ~/.config/firejail/allow-ssh.local
noblacklist /etc/ssh/ssh_revoked_hosts

If it fixes the issue you might open a PR and get credit for the fix. But let's test things first...

Great. Thank you for confirming!

Approaching typical Friday evening pressed for time with energy-loaden children bursting into weekend-mode... I'll keep eyes on this and will open a PR during the weekend if you haven't beaten me to it :-)

Cheers
