"This update for dropbear fixes four security issues (bnc#990363) :

  - A format string injection vulnerability allowed remotes
    attacker to run arbitrary code as root if specific
    usernames including '%' symbols could be created on the
    target system. If a dbclient user can control usernames
    or host arguments, or untrusted input is processed,
    potentially arbitrary code could have been executed as
    the dbclient user.

  - When importing malicious OpenSSH key files via
    dropbearconvert, arbitrary code could have been executed
    as the local dropbearconvert user

  - If particular -m or -c arguments were provided, as used
    in scripts, dbclient could have executed arbitrary code

  - dbclient or dropbear server could have exposed process
    memory to the running user if compiled with DEBUG_TRACE
    and running with -v

Dropbear was updated to the upstream 2016.74 release, including fixes
for the following upstream issues :

  - Port forwarding failure when connecting to domains that
    have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

  - 100% CPU use while waiting for rekey to complete

  - Fix crash when fallback initshells() is used scp failing
    when the local user doesn't exist

The following upstream improvements are included :

  - Support syslog in dbclient, option -o usesyslog=yes

  - Kill a proxycommand when dbclient exits

  - Option to exit when a TCP forward fails

  - Allow specifying commands eg 'dropbearmulti dbclient
    ...' instead of symlinks"
