Insight
An off-by-one error has been identified in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() routine in OpenSSL, an implementation of Secure Socket Layer cryptographic libraries and utilities. This error could allow an attacker to crash an application making use of OpenSSL's libssl library, or potentially execute arbitrary code in the security context of the user running such an application.
This update to DSA 1379 announces the availability of the libssl0.9.6 and libssl0.9.7 compatibility libraries for sarge (oldstable) and etch (stable), respectively.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssl097 and openssl096 packages.
