+	     (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.</p>
+	  <p>dropbearconvert import of OpenSSH keys could run arbitrary code as
+	     the local dropbearconvert user when parsing malicious key files.</p>
+	  <p>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.</p>
