+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to trigger a
+ use-after-free condition, possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution
+ or a Denial of Service condition. Additionally, the bundled version of
+ libtommath has an error in its prime number generation, which could
+ result in the generation of weak keys.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Dropbear users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/dropbear-2012.55"
