    * CVE-2018-20685: fix a vulnerability scp client where a malicious server
    could bypass intended access restrictions and modify target directory
    permissions via crafted filenames
    * CVE-2019-6109: fix scp client where a malicious server could manipulate   the
    client's progress display output due to missing character encoding
    * CVE-2019-6111: fix scp client vulnerability that allowed a malicious   server
    to overwrite arbitrary files in the client's target directory,   including
    subdirectories, when performing transfers
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2019-6109
    An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. 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-2018-20685
    In OpenSSH 7.9, 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-2019-6111
    An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. 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).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
