+ Dropbear is an SSH server and client with a small memory + footprint. +

+
+ +

+ Under certain conditions Dropbear could fail to allocate a + sufficient amount of memory, possibly resulting in a buffer overflow. +

+
+ +

+ By sending specially crafted data to the server, authenticated + users could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with + the permissions of the SSH server user, which is the root user by + default. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All Dropbear users should upgrade to the latest version: +
