An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for openssh fixes the following issues:

  • A previously applied security patch unintendedly changed the behavior of OpenSSH's "scp" utility such that server-side brace expansion would no longer be supported. Attempts to copy a set files from a remote machine to the local one by running "scp 'remote:{file-a,file-b}' /tmp" would fail. This change in behavior broke Corosync and, potentially, many user scripts that relied on brace expansion. [bsc#1123028]
