Ubuntu: OpenSSL vulnerability

BugsAlert Home > Ubuntu: OpenSSL vulnerability
 
 

LinuxSecurity.com: 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.
