channel: prevent infinite loop sending to closed channel - #140

Both sendall and sendall_stderr call send inside a loop and use its result to advance their buffer. If the channel is closed, send returns 0 which causes both sendall methods to go into an infinite loop. Prevent this from occurring by using the open_only decorator. I'm not sure this is the best fix since I haven't verified whether the channel can be closed after the sending begins. If so, then both sendall routines should instead raise an exception if send returns 0.

When attempting to use parallel mode along with sudo, fabric was causing paramiko-ng to go into an infinite loop. The reason was due to a combination of fabric calling sendall() along with it misdetecting EOF on the input and closing the output channel. The fix for paramiko-ng going into an infinite loop is here: ploxiln/paramiko-ng#140 This commit fixes the root cause in fabric where it (apparently) erroneously detects the input channel as being closed when it is not.

I'm unsure of this particular solution, because:

These are all good questions, but I was stuck with an infinite loop and this seemed like a minimally invasive fix at the time. I'll work on a more targeted fix that just avoids the infinite loop and hopefully has no other side-effects. |
