Summary

Note: sha256 is now used instead of sha1 to fingerprint certificates. This will
invalidate all hosts in FreeRDP known_hosts2 file, $HOME/.config/freerdp/known_hosts2.
In case of problems with the connection, try removing that file.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
3.30.3-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnome-boxes packages.
