Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2502-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-crypto' package(s) announced via the DSA-2502-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-crypto' package(s) announced via the DSA-2502-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the ElGamal code in PythonCrypto, a collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols for Python used insecure insufficient prime numbers in key generation, which lead to a weakened signature or public key space, allowing easier brute force attacks on such keys. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0-2+squeeze1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6-1. We recommend that you upgrade your python-crypto packages. After installing this update, previously generated keys need to be regenerated. Affected Software/OS: 'python-crypto' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
