FreeBSD Security Advisory – FreeBSD-SA-16:14.openssh

FreeBSD Security Advisory – Due to insufficient input validation in OpenSSH, a client which has permission to establish X11 forwarding sessions to a server can piggyback arbitrary shell commands on the data intended to be passed to the xauth tool. An attacker with valid credentials and permission to establish X11 forwarding sessions can bypass other restrictions which may have been placed on their account, for instance using ForceCommand directives in the server’s configuration file.
