    Package        : dropbear
    Version        : 2020.81-3+deb11u3
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-47203

    Marcin Nowak discovered that dbclient(1) hostname arguments with a comma
    (for multihop) are passed to the shell which could result in running
    arbitrary shell commands locally.  That could be a security issue in
    situations where dbclient(1) is passed untrusted hostname arguments.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    2020.81-3+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dropbear packages.

    For the detailed security status of dropbear please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dropbear
