Public bug reported:

Just upgraded to cosmic, which picks up OpenSSH 7.7.

OpenSSH 7.7 has known bug
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2855 which is fixed in
OpenSSH 7.8.  It's a regression that completely breaks -w tunneling.

The OpenSSH bug contains a trivial two-line patch to fix the bug.  I
downloaded the Ubuntu openssh package source, applied the patch and
rebuilt, and can confirm that is does fix the problem.

Any chance we could get this patch backported to Cosmic?
