The default receive window size in dropbear is hardcoded to 24576 byte
to limit memory usage. This value was chosen for 100Mbps networks, and
limits the throughput of scp on faster networks. It also severely limits
scp throughput on high-latency links.
Add an option to set the receive window size so that people can improve
performance without having to recompile dropbear.
Setting the window size to the highest value supported by dropbear
improves throughput from my build machine to an APU2 on the same LAN
from 7MB/s to 7.9MB/s, and to an APU2 over a link with ~65ms latency
from 320KB/s to 7.5MB/s.

As MD5 is known weak for many years and more and more
penetration test tools complain about enabled MD5 HMAC
I think it's time to drop it.
By disabling the MD5 HMAC support dropbear will also
automatically use SHA1 for fingerprints.
This shouldn't be a problem too.

ssh and scp commands interfere with OpenSSH when installed in /usr/bin .
One use case is when installing dropbear to get root access when only OpenSSH is available (OpenSSH disallows root password logins). Once dropbear installs, it replaces OpenSSH's executables, even when removed with opkg. OpenSSH must be reinstalled to get them back.

Add support for '-T n' for a run-time specification for maximum number

A default number of tries can be specified at compile time using
'DEFAULT_AUTH_TRIES' which itself defaults to MAX_AUTH_TRIES for

- 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.

Configurations without shadow passwords have been broken since the removal
of telnet: as the default entry in /etc/passwd is not empty (but rather
unset), there will be no way to log onto such a system by default. As
disabling shadow passwords is not useful anyways, remove this configuration
option.
The config symbol is kept (for a while), as packages from feeds depend on
it.

- 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
