           Summary: auth-rsa.c: move auth_key_is_revoked() call from
                    auth_rsa_verify_response() to auth_rsa_key_allowed()
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.6p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: ldv at altlinux.org

proposed patch

Both auth_rsa_verify_response() and auth_rsa_key_allowed() are
PRIVSEP'ed, so there should be no security degradation.

auth_rsa_key_allowed() is called from auth_rsa() only;
auth_rsa_verify_response() is called only from
auth_rsa_challenge_dialog(), which in turn is called
- either from auth_rsa(), right after auth_rsa_key_allowed() call,
- or from auth_rhosts_rsa(), right after auth_rhosts_rsa_key_allowed()
call, which already calls auth_key_is_revoked().

As result of this change, auth_rsa_key_allowed() will be called earlier
on the auth_rsa() path, before starting challenge-response, which is
good, and won't be called second time on the auth_rhosts_rsa() path,
which is also good.
