According to its banner, the version of OpenSSH running on the remote host is potentially affected by an arbitrary command execution vulnerability. The scp utility does not properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to using a system() function call. A local attacker could exploit this by creating filenames with shell metacharacters, which could cause arbitrary code to be executed if copied by a user running scp.
