Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61055
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-612-7 ()
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to announced via advisory USN-612-7. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: USN-612-2 introduced protections for OpenSSH, related to the OpenSSL vulnerabilities addressed by USN-612-1. This update provides the corresponding updates for OpenSSH in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. While the OpenSSL in Ubuntu 6.06 is not vulnerable, this update will block weak keys generated on systems that may have been affected themselves. Original advisory details: A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used by OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems. As a result of this weakness, certain encryption keys are much more common than they should be, such that an attacker could guess the key through a brute-force attack given minimal knowledge of the system. This particularly affects the use of encryption keys in OpenSSH, OpenVPN and SSL certificates. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: openssh-server 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3.4 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-612-7 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.8
