Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2016.600
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-600-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libgcrypt11' package(s) announced via the DLA-600-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libgcrypt11' package(s) announced via the DLA-600-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The crypto library libgcrypt11 has a weakness in the random number generator.

CVE-2016-6313

Felix Dorre and Vladimir Klebanov from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology found a bug in the mixing functions of Libgcrypt's random number generator. An attacker who obtains 4640 bits from the RNG can trivially predict the next 160 bits of output.

A first analysis on the impact of this bug in GnuPG shows that existing RSA keys are not weakened. For DSA and Elgamal keys it is also unlikely that the private key can be predicted from other public information.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.0-5+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgcrypt11 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'libgcrypt11' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
