Description:
A weakness has been reported in Dropbear, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The weakness is caused due to Dropbear not warning users sufficiently if a hostkey changed, which makes it easier for attackers to e.g. conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
The weakness is reported in versions prior to 0.49.
