 |
Debian published a patch for a critical security vulnerability in the PRNG generator. The PRNG random number generator is used in all cryptographic processes, among which the most critical are key generation processes for SSH and SSL. The patch fixes the seeding problem in the PRNG generator which previously used extremely weak and predictable seeds. This vulnerability has been introduced back in September 2006. |
|
H D Moore, a well known security expert, published a brute forced list of all 1024, 2048 and 4096-bit SSH keys that were generated on vulnerable Debian or Ubuntu systems.
Infigo IS is issuing a warning to all clients about criticality of this security vulnerability. Besides installation of the patch, all keys and certificates that have been generated on vulnerable systems must be regenerated. More information is available at the SANS Internet Storm Center.
