"An issue was discovered in OpenSSH. Due to the scp implementation
being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which
files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only
performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only
directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or
Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp
client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the
server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to
overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).(CVE-2019-6111)

In OpenSSH, scp.c in the scp client allows remote SSH servers to
bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty
filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target
directory on the client side.(CVE-2018-20685)

An issue was discovered in OpenSSH. Due to missing character encoding
in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle
attacker) can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client
output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files
being transferred. This affects refresh_progress_meter() in
progressmeter.c.(CVE-2019-6109 )"
