Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:120
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : python-pycrypto
Date : April 10, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated python-pycrypto package fixes security vulnerability:
PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when
using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature
space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct
brute force attacks to obtain the private key (CVE-2012-2417).
Note: any ElGamal keys that have previously been generated by PyCrypto
should be regenerated after installing this update.
