Details:

for CVE-2019-6111 turned out to be incomplete. This update fixes the
problem.

Original advisory details:

Harry Sintonen discovered multiple issues in the OpenSSH scp utility. If a
user or automated system were tricked into connecting to an untrusted
server, a remote attacker could possibly use these issues to write to
arbitrary files, change directory permissions, and spoof client output.

openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3
