Title: | Ubuntu: Security Advisories for openssl (USN-612-1 - USN-612-11) |
Summary: | The remote host is probably affected by the vulnerabilities; described in USN-612-1, USN-612-2, USN-612-3, USN-612-4: OpenSSL vulnerability.;; This VT has been deprecated by dedicated LSCs covering each USN separately. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is probably affected by the vulnerabilities described in USN-612-1, USN-612-2, USN-612-3, USN-612-4: OpenSSL vulnerability. This VT has been deprecated by dedicated LSCs covering each USN separately. Vulnerability Insight: Luciano Bello discovered that the random number generator in Debian's openssl package is predictable. This is caused by an incorrect Debian-specific change to the openssl package (CVE-2008-0166). As a result, cryptographic key material may be guessable. This is a Debian-specific vulnerability which does not affect other operating systems which are not based on Debian. However, other systems can be indirectly affected if weak keys are imported into them. It is strongly recommended that all cryptographic key material which has been generated by OpenSSL versions starting with 0.9.8c-1 on Debian systems is recreated from scratch. Furthermore, all DSA keys ever used on affected Debian systems for signing or authentication purposes should be considered compromised. The Digital Signature Algorithm relies on a secret random value used during signature generation. The first vulnerable version, 0.9.8c-1, was uploaded to the unstable distribution on 2006-09-17, and has since propagated to the testing and current stable (etch) distributions. The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected. Affected keys include SSH keys, OpenVPN keys, DNSSEC keys, and key material for use in X.509 certificates and session keys used in SSL/TLS connections. Keys generated with GnuPG or GNUTLS are not affected, though. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the actual packages.
