This vulnerability can allow a malicious user to gain unathorized access to the account which attempted the decryption. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed are upgraded. Location: All TSL updates are available from <URI:http://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> <URI:ftp://ftp.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> Automatic updates: Users of the SWUP tool, can enjoy having updates automatically installed using 'swup --upgrade'. Note that kernel packages are not normally fit to be upgraded this way and therefore excluded in the default configuration.
