NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dropbear package and not the dropbear package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Dropbear 2011.54 through 2018.76 has an inconsistent failure delay that may lead to revealing valid usernames, a different issue than CVE-2018-15599.
