--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org> ---
this CVE stems from a misunderstanding of how scp works. It is an old
program that *deliberately* invokes the remote shell for glob pattern
expansion.

We're not going to "fix" scp, but we might replace it entirely. There
are significant backwards-compatibility concerns to work through
however.
