Timo Juhani Lindfors discovered that the OpenSSH client, when port forwarding was requested, would listen on any available address family. A local attacker could exploit this flaw on systems with IPv6 enabled to hijack connections, including X11 forwards.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
