The issue is related to OS command injection in OpenSSH, which might occur if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. For example, an untrusted Git repository can have a submodule with shell metacharacters in a user name or host name. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is around 116,742,290, mainly distributed in the United States, China, and other countries.
