Re: [BUG] ssh_bind_listen() does not fail in windows when port is in use

[Alberto Garcia <agarciaillera@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
So, I found this code in bind_socket() function:

if (setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,
                   (char *)&opt, sizeof(opt)) < 0) {
        ssh_set_error(sshbind,
                      SSH_FATAL,
                      "Setting socket options failed: %s",
                      strerror(errno));
        freeaddrinfo (ai);
        CLOSE_SOCKET(s);
        return -1;
    }

The socket has the SO_REUSEADDR so it does not fail when it is in use. I
don't know why that's set. Does anyone knows what is the intention of it?

Cheers
