Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Preservation of Permissions in the scp when the legacy protocol option (-O) is used by a root user without preserving original file permissions (-p). An attacker can gain elevated privileges by supplying a malicious file that, when downloaded, is installed with setuid or setgid bits, allowing unintended execution with higher permissions.
