Package        : dropbear
Version        : 2020.81-3+deb11u3
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-47203

Marcin Nowak discovered that dbclient(1) hostname arguments with a comma
(for multihop) are passed to the shell which could result in running
arbitrary shell commands locally.  That could be a security issue in
situations where dbclient(1) is passed untrusted hostname arguments.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
2020.81-3+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your dropbear packages.
