Package : openssl096
Problem-Type : local
Vulnerability : cryptographic weakness
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-4339
BugTraq ID : 19849
Debian Bug : 386247

Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered a flaw in OpenSSL cryptographic
package that could allow an attacker to generate a forged signature
that OpenSSL will accept as valid.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed
in version 0.9.6m-1sarge2

This package exists only for compatibility with older software,
and is not present in the unstable or testing branches of
Debian.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages. Note that
services linking against the openssl shared libraries will need to
be restarted. Common examples of such services include most Mail
Transport Agents, SSH servers, and web servers.

Upgrade Instructions


wget url

will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb

will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update

will update the internal database apt-get upgrade

will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias sarge
