[SMGLSA-2006:4] openssh vulnerability: msg#00000

Subject: [SMGLSA-2006:4] openssh vulnerability
openssh:
CVE-2006-0225: scp (as does rcp, on which it is based) invoked a
subshell to perform local to local, and remote to remote copy
operations. This subshell exposed filenames to shell expansion
twice; allowing a local attacker to create filenames containing
shell metacharacters that, if matched by a wildcard, could lead
to execution of attacker-specified commands with the privilege of
the user running scp.

For more info:
Announce: OpenSSH 4.3 released
