Note: sha256 is now used instead of sha1 to fingerprint certificates. This will invalidate all hosts in FreeRDP known_hosts2 file, $HOME/.config/freerdp/known_hosts2. In case of problems with the connection, try removing that file. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 3.30.3-2+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your gnome-boxes packages. For the detailed security status of gnome-boxes please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references] Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: [link moved to references]");
