Hi, all.
I'm not familiar with the ssh 2.x copying restrictions, but there's a fix
for the recent potential buffer overflow bugs in ssh 1.2.26 that involves
using source from 2.x.
I was wondering if someone who has the ability and inclination to make the
changes to the ssh package could do so...? I'd happily test and submit the
changes, but I expect my PR would gather lots of dust, which wouldn't be of
much use to anyone.
Thanks in advance!
