Steps to reproduce

When I start the SSH Server on a machine where the date is set after the Year-2038 Problem (2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC) the connection is stuck. On the client I'm asked for the password to login, the login is successful ("Authentication succeeded" in the log), but the connection then freezes and the client can't be stopped using CTRL+C but has to be killed by closing cmd/powershell.

I once could reproduce it on a device where I got the additional log output that the channel unpauses in over 2 billion seconds. At the time I checked and the exact second where the log message was written as unix timestamp, added to the over 2 billion seconds from the log was exactly 2^32. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to this device and I'm not sure which version of the SSH Server it hat exactly, but it was installed via the Windows Optional Features.

Attached I have the logs from the client, started with -vvv and from the server with LogLevel DEBUG3.

Expected behavior

The connection should work as usual.

Actual behavior

The connection freezes, no shell is opened at the client and the client can't be exited using CTRL + C, but has to be killed by closing cmd/powershell.

Do you have a *nix machine you can replicate this issue on?

[lksptz]

I tried running the SSH-Server on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu0.7, OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022). If I set the time there e.g. to 2039-01-01 and connect via SSH the connection works as expected.

I also tried installing the Bitvise SSH Server (9.37) on Windows, there the connection also works as expected with the time set to the year 2039.

So I can only reproduce this issue on Windows with the OpenSSH Server.
