<PRE>When adding systemd units to dropbear, I noticed a security problem had
been announced.

- Security: Fix use-after-free bug that could be triggered if command=&quot;...&quot;
  authorized_keys restrictions are used.  Could allow arbitrary code
execution
  or bypass of the command=&quot;...&quot; restriction to an authenticated user.
  This bug affects releases 0.52 onwards. Ref CVE-2012-0920.
  Thanks to Danny Fullerton of Mantor Organization for reporting
  the bug.


Please push.

Note, that dropbear suffers from the same problem as openssh-server when
pam support is disabled - i.e. all sessions will be killed on service
restart.

I tried enabling PAM support but this didn't seem to work properly so
I've left it disabled for now.

I've mentioned the issue on Fedora, so hopefully they'll fix it!
