USN-612-7: OpenSSH update
Referenced CVEs:
CVE-2008-0166


Description:
=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-612-7 May 20, 2008 openssh update CVE-2008-0166 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 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: openssh-server 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3.4 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: USN-612-2 introduced protections for OpenSSH, related to the OpenSSL vulnerabilities addressed by USN-612-1. This update provides the corresponding updates for OpenSSH in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. While the OpenSSL in Ubuntu 6.06 is not vulnerable, this update will block weak keys generated on systems that may have been affected themselves. 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.

       Net::OpenSSH::Compat - Compatibility modules for Net::OpenSSH

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       This package contains a set of adapter modules that run on top of Net::OpenSSH providing the APIs of other SSH modules available from CPAN.

       Net::SCP and Net::SCP::Expect if somebody request them.
