Fixed in focal:

x2goclient (4.1.2.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches:
    + Add libssh-regression-fix-CVE-2019-14889.patch. In src/sshprocess.cpp:
      strip ~/, ~user{,/}, ${HOME}{,/} and $HOME{,/} from destination paths
      in scp mode. Fixes: #1428. This was already necessary for pascp (PuTTY-
      based Windows solution for Kerberos support), but newer libssh versions
      with the CVE-2019-14889 also interpret paths as literal strings.
      (Closes: #947129).

Bug description:
  The recent CVE fix broke SCP support in libssh, which X2Go Client
  (x2goclient) relies on.

  Sessions now fail with error messages such as "SCP: Warning: status
  code 1 received: scp: ~username/.x2go/ssh: No such file or
  directory\n". (Also note the literal "\n" there, but I guess we don't
  really need to care about that.)

  The previous version worked fine and rolling the libssh4 package back
  fixes this issue, but also leaves users vulnerable to the fixed
  security issue in its scp implementation.

  
  I've been looking at the debdiff, but spotting the actual changes is very difficult due to the reformatting that was done at the same time. This degraded the patch(es) into one big blob.
