Subject: [USN-612-11] openssl-blacklist update

=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-612-11              June 18, 2008
openssl-blacklist update
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-3

===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  openssl-blacklist               0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.6.06.2
  openssl-blacklist-extra         0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.6.06.2

Ubuntu 7.04:
  openssl-blacklist               0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.7.04.2
  openssl-blacklist-extra         0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.7.04.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
  openssl-blacklist               0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.7.10.2
  openssl-blacklist-extra         0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.7.10.2

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  openssl-blacklist               0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
  openssl-blacklist-extra         0.3.3+0.4-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-612-3 addressed a weakness in OpenSSL certificate and key
generation and introduced openssl-blacklist to aid in detecting
vulnerable certificates and keys. This update adds RSA-4096
blacklists to the openssl-blacklist-extra package and adjusts
openssl-vulnkey to properly handle RSA-4096 and higher moduli.

Original advisory details:
 A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used
 by OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems. As a result of this
 weakness, certain encryption keys are much more common than they
 should be, such that an attacker could guess the key through a
 brute-force attack given minimal knowledge of the system. This
 particularly affects the use of encryption keys in OpenSSH, OpenVPN
 and SSL certificates.
