+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Dropbear is an SSH server and client with a small memory

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Under certain conditions Dropbear could fail to allocate a
+    sufficient amount of memory, possibly resulting in a buffer overflow.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    By sending specially crafted data to the server, authenticated
+    users could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with
+    the permissions of the SSH server user, which is the root user by
+    default.
+    </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 &quot;&gt;=net-misc/dropbear-0.47&quot;</code>
