Hi,
Shortly after completing the OpenSSH 7.6 release, I spotted a bug in
sshd_config's PermitOpen directive: it ignores arguments beyond the
second one. I'm pretty annoyed with myself for introducing it and
for not catching it before release, but fortunately it only affects
7.6 and fails-closed so doesn't introduce a vulnerability.
Below is a fix for distributors who package OpenSSH; I've also committed
this to the V_7_6 branch (7c9613fac337).
