Hi, I have a router running an old version of OpenWRT with an old version of dropbear (Dropbear sshd v0.44test3). It has been working for many years and I ssh in from my desktop systems (running Debian Testing) with no problem.
However, recently I upgraded one of my desktops and I can no longer connect to the router. Dropbear on the router is exiting with: exit before auth: bad buf_getwriteptr The desktop is running "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-1" (it failed with 5.8 as well). However, another desktop still running "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-6" still works fine. The config files are identical. I realise this is a very old version of dropbear and that you are not responsible for changes in OpenSSH but I thought I would ask here in case anyone else has seen this and can maybe suggest a config change to workround the problem!
