CVE description :
The recv_msg_userauth_request function in svr-auth.c in Dropbear through
2018.76 is prone to a user enumeration vulnerability because username
validity affects how fields in SSH_MSG_USERAUTH messages are handled,
a similar issue to CVE-2018-15473 in an unrelated codebase.

- Security: Fix double-free in server TCP listener cleanup A double-free
in the server could be triggered by an authenticated user if dropbear is
running with -a (Allow connections to forwarded ports from any host)
This could potentially allow arbitrary code execution as root by an
authenticated user. Affects versions 2013.56 to 2016.74. Thanks to Mark
Shepard for reporting the crash.
CVE-2017-9078 https://secure.ucc.asn.au/hg/dropbear/rev/c8114a48837c
- Security: Fix information disclosure with ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
symlink. Dropbear parsed authorized_keys as root, even if it were a
symlink. The fix is to switch to user permissions when opening
authorized_keys
A user could symlink their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to a root-owned file
they couldn't normally read. If they managed to get that file to contain
valid authorized_keys with command= options it might be possible to read
other contents of that file.
This information disclosure is to an already authenticated user.
Thanks to Jann Horn of Google Project Zero for reporting this.
CVE-2017-9079 https://secure.ucc.asn.au/hg/dropbear/rev/0d889b068123
Refresh patches, rework 100-pubkey_path.patch to work with new
authorized_keys validation.
