Resolved [abrt] openssh-server: sshd killed by SIGSEGV

Pentarou

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

After a successful upgrade to Obsidian, I am flooded with e-mails from localhost:

[abrt] openssh-server: sshd killed by SIGSEGV
reason: sshd killed by SIGSEGV

What causes this and how do I resolve this?

Thank you in advance.

My inbox now has more than 6,000 emails with this notification, I can't find anything on the Plesk Support pages about this.
 
Well, for starters, is sshd actually getting killed over an over again? Perhaps the server logs could tell more.

Second, abrt can be configured to go easy on the mails. I would recommend fixing the cause for this and only suppressing the notifications for as long as it takes.
 
Thank you for the report. The issue confirmed and registered using id #PPPM-10986. This issue will be fixed in future updates.
 
I have installed quite a few updates, but the problem persists here too. My mailbox is flooded with thousands of e-mails every day, how do I disable e-mail reporting for the time being?

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes.
1. You should edit /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf
Find section
Code:
# Blacklisted packages
#
BlackList = nspluginwrapper, valgrind, strace, mono-core
and add sshd
2. Restart service using systemctl restart abrtd.service command
3 Wait fix )
 
is there a way to stop the emails flooding the mail server?

Yes, I can confirm that changing the SSH port stops flooding your inbox and makes your server even more secure, thanks to Martin Dias from the Plesk Online Community on Facebook for the heads-up.
