44 A remote attacker, able to access the socket of the forwarding agent,
45 might be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
46 process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
47 Furthermore, a remote attacker might conduct a man-in-the-middle attack
48 targeting initial connection attempts where no host key for the server
49 has been cached by client yet.
