Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.113.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-113-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libnet-ssleay-perl' package(s) announced via the USN-113-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libnet-ssleay-perl' package(s) announced via the USN-113-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that this library used the
file /tmp/entropy as a fallback entropy source if a proper source was
not set in the environment variable EGD_PATH. This can potentially
lead to weakened cryptographic operations if an attacker provides a
/tmp/entropy file with known content.

The updated package requires the specification of an entropy source
with EGD_PATH and also requires that the source is a socket (as
opposed to a normal file).

Please note that this only affects systems which have egd installed
from third party sources, egd is not shipped with Ubuntu.

Affected Software/OS:
'libnet-ssleay-perl' package(s) on Ubuntu 5.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
