Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-361-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bouncycastle' package(s) announced via the DLA-361-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bouncycastle' package(s) announced via the DLA-361-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The Bouncy Castle Java library before 1.51 does not validate that a point is within the elliptic curve, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private keys via a series of crafted elliptic curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key exchanges, aka an 'invalid curve attack.' For Debian 6 Squeeze, this issue has been fixed in version 1.44+dfsg-2+deb6u1 of bouncycastle. Many thanks to upstream author Peter Dettmann who reviewed the backport that we prepared. Affected Software/OS: 'bouncycastle' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
