Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Dropbear SSH client versions prior to 0.49

Description The issue concerns a hostkey mismatch detection problem. When a hostkey mismatch is detected, the software does not provide sufficient warnings to the user. This could potentially allow remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.49, update to version 0.49 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider increasing user awareness about hostkey mismatches to minimize the risk of exploitation.
