Bug#447153: /usr/bin/scp: Fails to notice write errors
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.6p1-5
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/scp
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
When copying to a cifs share scp fails to notice write errors and
happily continues copying when there is no disk space.
Note that cifs probably only reports these errors on close(), not
write().
