    dropbear: security update to 2016.74
    
    - Security: Message printout was vulnerable to format string injection.
    
      If specific usernames including "%" symbols can be created on a system
      (validated by getpwnam()) then an attacker could run arbitrary code as root
      when connecting to Dropbear server.
    
      A dbclient user who can control username or host arguments could potentially
      run arbitrary code as the dbclient user. This could be a problem if scripts
      or webpages pass untrusted input to the dbclient program.
    
    - Security: dropbearconvert import of OpenSSH keys could run arbitrary code as
      the local dropbearconvert user when parsing malicious key files
    
    - Security: dbclient could run arbitrary code as the local dbclient user if
      particular -m or -c arguments are provided. This could be an issue where
      dbclient is used in scripts.
    
    - Security: dbclient or dropbear server could expose process memory to the
      running user if compiled with DEBUG_TRACE and running with -v
    
      The security issues were reported by an anonymous researcher working with
      Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure www.beyondsecurity.com/ssd.html
