Description

An issue was discovered in the Amazon Linux packages of OpenSSH 7.4 for Amazon Linux 1 and 2, because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-6111 within these specific packages.

When a relative path is used, there is no verification that the name of a file received by the client matches the file requested. Fixed packages are available with numbers 7.4p1-22.78.amzn1 and 7.4p1-22.amzn2.0.2.
