Description

MFH: r419445

  • Update to version 2016.74
  • Add license information

Changelog:

  • 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
