The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Dropbear, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service condition due to a use-after-free issue and weak key generation in the bundled version of libtommath

(Dropbear: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Dropbear. Please review
      the CVE identifier and Gentoo bug referenced below for details.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to trigger a
      use-after-free condition, possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution
      or a Denial of Service condition. Additionally, the bundled version of
      libtommath has an error in its prime number generation, which could
      result in the generation of weak keys.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
