provide VPN integration for SSH in NetworkManager, is prone to a
privilege escalation vulnerability. A local user with privileges to
modify a connection can take advantage of this flaw to execute
arbitrary commands as root.

This update drops support to pass extra SSH options to the ssh
invocation."
