<background>
<p>
Dropbear is an SSH server and client with a small memory
footprint.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Under certain conditions Dropbear could fail to allocate a
sufficient amount of memory, possibly resulting in a buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

All Dropbear users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/dropbear-0.47"</code>
</resolution>
