The remote host is missing an update to openssl
announced via advisory USN-1003-1.
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 9.04
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Ubuntu 10.10
Details follow:
It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled return codes from the
bn_wexpand function calls. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw in
services that used SSL to cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code with application privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu
6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 9.04 and 9.10. (CVE-2009-3245)
It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain private keys
with an invalid prime. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw in
services that used SSL to cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code with application privileges. The default compiler options
for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of
service. (CVE-2010-2939)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.13
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.11
Ubuntu 9.04:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.6
Ubuntu 9.10:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-16ubuntu3.3
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.3
Ubuntu 10.10:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-1ubuntu4.1
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all
the necessary changes.
