Another tremendous security post via Catalin Cimpanu writing for ZDNet's Zero Day; in which, the good Mr. Cimpanu tells the tale of the thirty-six year-old flaw in SCP - the Secure Copy Protocol. This time, rearing it's apparently flawed noggin through coded flaws in SCP (the 'secure' version of RCP - the Remote Copy Protocol). The flaws, in their essential form, permit malign SCP servers free-reign on the host system. Just astonishing this has existed since the last quarter of the twentieth century...

"The vulnerabilities have been discovered by Harry Sintonen, a security researcher with Finnish cyber-security firm F-Secure, who's been working since August last year to have them fixed and patched in the major apps that support the SCP protocol." via Catalin Cimpanu at ZDNet's Zero Day
